I am writing regarding a technical issue with the IMX477-160 12.3MP Camera Module (SKU: 19211) when used with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4). I hope you can provide guidance on proper configuration for this setup.
Hardware Configuration
- Camera Module: Waveshare IMX477-160 12.3MP Camera (SKU: 19211)
- Sensor: Sony IMX477
- Resolution: 4056 × 3040 pixels (12.3MP)
- Field of View: 160° diagonal
- Cable: 15-pin FPC flexible cable (included with camera)
Compute Module: Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 Rev 1.1
Carrier Board: Waveshare CM4-NANO-B
Operating System: Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 64-bit) Kernel: 6.12.47
Ribbon Cable: 15-pin FPC cable (from camera package)
I made the changes in config.txt.
changed
camera_auto_detect=0
dtoverlay=imx477,cam0
and also tried with imx708 camera sensor along with config
dtoverlay=imx477,cam0
and tested with the following commands:
rpicam-hello --list cameras,
rpicam-hello -t 0,
rpicam-hello --width 640 --height 480 -t 5000,
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --log-status
and many more from the camera software documentation from official raspberrypie documentation, but getting the same timeout error.
i even changed --> "camera_timeout_value_ms": 6000, in /usr/share/libcamera/pipeline/rpi/vc4/rpi_apps.yaml
here are the logs for :
