Hello, I am trying to use my IMX219 cameras: Pi camera v2.1 and Waveshare imx219-77. They are inserted in the port correctly and are detected by the command ls /dev/video*. When I start dmesg | grep imx219

When I run nvgstcapture-1.0 I get an error

Can anyone provide a help for the problem? Thanks for your attention.

I would suggest to consult with Waveshare for customized driver and device tree configrue.

hello ShaneCCC, thanks you for your reply.
I get the same errors when using the Pi camera v2.1 . Waveshare claims that their camera does not require software changes https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/IMX219-77_Camera

5

Which version doesn’t work for your case.

6

I can’t use Pi camera 2.1 and Waveshare imx219-77.

7

The original system image only support Pi V2 any others may need driver customization.

8

For me, both of V2.0 and V2.1 work pretty well with Jetson Nano and Xavier NX as well.
No further SW or driver jobs are needed.

You’d better test another camera module, or connect the IMX219 camera to the other hardware.
