MIPI Driver for sync stereo camera HAT

8 February 2022

Prerequisites

Ensure OpenCV is installed correctly. This MIPI driver is specific to RPi OS and will not work on any ARM-based Ubuntu OS. If you are running Bullseye, enable legacy camera support from raspi-config and add start_x=1 to /boot/config.txt. After these steps, you will be ready to proceed.

Possible errors

  • libmmal_core.so.0 not found after running make clean && make. This library can only be accessed after enabling legacy camera support, as it is a dependency.

Once the driver is installed, test it by running 1_test.py. Possible errors include the orientation error and green tint error. These issues have been previously discussed here.
