Hardware Connection

To test the Camera, you need to connect a HDMI display or a DIS display for previewing.
The connectors of the DSI interface (display) and the CSI interface (camera) look the same, please take care of it when you connect the camera. The CSI interface is placed between the Audio jack and the HDMI port. The CSI connector of Pi zero is beside the Power interface. If you use the Compute Module, please check the actual place of the carrier board.

  • Connect to Raspberry Pi 5
Place the metal surface of the FPC cable towards the wired network port, then connect to the CSI port. The Pi5 has two CSI ports; either port can be used for connection.

  • Connect to Pi Zero Series
Place the metal surface of the FPC downward, then connect it to the CSI port.

  • Connect to other Raspberry Pi boards
Place the metal side of the cable towards the HDMI port and connect to the CSI port.

Test Camera

Software Configuration

If you are using the latest Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 or Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera, you need to run the following command to update the system (network connection is required).

sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade-

If you do not use an official Raspberry Pi camera, you need to configure the "config.txt " file. If you use the latest Bookworm system, you need to configure /boot/firmware/config.txt.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
#If using the bookworm system
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

Find "camera-auto-detect=1" and modify it to "camera_auto_detect=0".

At the end of the file, add the following setting statements according to the camera model.

Model Set Statement
OV9281 dtoverlay=ov9281
IMX290/IMX327 dtoverlay=imx290, clock-frequency=37125000
IMX378 dtoverlay=imx378
IMX219 dtoverlay=imx219
IMX477 dtoverlay=imx477
IMX708 dtoverlay=imx708

Binocular Camera Configuration

  • Currently, both the CM4 and Raspberry Pi 5 support the connection of two cameras.
  • If you want to simultaneously connect to two cameras, you can designate the cameras by adding 'cam0' and 'cam1' after the corresponding camera configuration statements.
    • For example, the imx219 is connected to the cam0 interface and the ov5647 camera is connected to the cam1 interface.
dtoverlay=imx219,cam0
dtoverlay=ov5647,cam1

Test Camera Commands

Enter the Raspberry Pi and enable the camera to preview:

sudo libcamera-hello -t 0

If you want to close the preview window, you can directly press the keys "Alt-F4", or click "x" to close. Also, you can return to the terminal interface and press Ctrl-c to end the demo.
Note: if using "Camera Module 3", the auto-focus function is enabled.
Test Binocular Camera

  • When testing the binocular camera, you need to add "--camera" to specify the camera. If you do not add this parameter, "cam0" is specified by default.
sudo libcamera-hello -t 0 --camera 0
sudo libcamera-hello -t 0 --camera 1
