I have two identical PI5 systems each with a Camarray HAT. The one with 4 IMX519 and one with 4 IMX708. They have identical OS and config (one is an SD clone of the other).
The quad IMX591 works perfectly (see attached script) and the IMX708 always fails.
The problem follows the HAT if I swap the PI they are on.
The error is:
[0:14:15.103750301] [2174] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:284 libcamera v0.1.0+246-9fb4698e-dirty (2024-02-27T06:28:07+00:00)

Press return to continue
The script is:
from picamera2 import Picamera2
try:
picam2 = Picamera2()
camera_config = picam2.create_still_configuration()
picam2.configure(camera_config)
picam2.start()
imgpath = “still.jpg”
picam2.capture_file(imgpath)
picam2.close()
except Exception as e:
print(“Exception !!!”)
print(e)
finally:
print(“Exit”)
I am at my wits end.
What could the issue be?
