Hi all,
I have a raspberry pi zero W fresh out of the box with an IMX517 camera. I am unable to get the pi to recognize the camera at all. The OS is the current Raspberry pi OS lite 32 bit (still Bullseye 6.1.21) that comes when using the raspberry pi imager. Im also following the quickstart guide: https://docs.arducam.com/Raspberry-Pi-Camera/Native-camera/Quick-Start-Guide/
The pi itself is working fine, I have no issues with connecting to my wifi and SSH’ing into it. Ive quadrupled check’d the orientation for the camera ribbon (UC-376) on both ends.
No matter what I do I get “No cameras available”. Ive manually installed the libcamera libraries just to check, although it was my understanding that they come preinstalled with this version of bullseye. I’ve re-imaged my pi as well. This is rather early in the process to be having issues, so I was hoping someone may be able to help me troubleshoot this. Im not sure what else to put that may help, but if requested I will post the dmesg.
Hi @somethingClever
Welcome to our community!
For further debugging, I need the information listed below:
Pictures of hardware connection–both Raspberry Pi’s end and camera’s end. Because you are new to the forum, you may be limited to post one picture in one reply.
The output of the command cat /boot/config.txt
The output of the command dpkg -l | grep libcamera

Ill post pictures of the connectors when I have physical access to the pi again. However, I will say I do not remember editing the config file, so if that is a necessary step, that might be my issue.
Thank you again for the help, I will post the connections soon.
