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 :

  • Is the FPC cable correctly inserted and secured on both ends, especially is it the right way around? Commented Nov 11 at 11:07
