Working with Raspberry Pi
The IMX378-190_12.3MP_Camera_B module uses a 22PIN interface and comes with a 22PIN reverse ribbon cable by default. If you need to connect to a 15PIN interface such as on the Pi 4, remember to use the 22PIN to 15PIN adapter cable instead.

Software Environment Configuration and Testing
Update System
To ensure the camera works properly, please use the Bookworm version of the Raspberry Pi system and update it with the following commands:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
If using only one camera, connect it to the CAM1 port.
Configure the config.txt File
Use the nano tool to open and edit the /boot/firmware/config.txt file:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt
Find the line camera-auto-detect=1 and change it to camera_auto_detect=0
At the end of the file, add the line dtoverlay=imx378. If multiple cameras are connected, you can specify the cam0 or cam1 parameter, for example:
dtoverlay=imx378,cam0
dtoverlay=imx378,cam1
After configuration, save the file and reboot the system with sudo reboot.
Test the Camera
After configuration, reboot the system and use the command sudo rpicam-hello --list-camera to check if the camera is detected.
If a screen is connected, you can preview the camera with sudo rpicam-hello -t 0.
For more information about rpicam commands, please refer to Raspberry Pi Camera Software Documentation.
