Hardware Connection​


Software Environment Configuration and Testing​

Flash the Official Raspberry Pi OS Image​

  • First, flash the latest official Raspberry Pi OS image to a TF card.
  • After flashing, start the Raspberry Pi and complete the basic initial configuration.

Download the Driver and Copy it to the Raspberry Pi​

  wget https://files.waveshare.com/wiki/IMX415-8MP-AF-Camera/IMX415-8MP-AF-Camera.zip

If using only one camera, connect it to the CAM1 port.

Extract the Package and Enter the Directory​

unzip IMX415-8MP-AF-Camera.zip
cd IMX415-8MP-AF-Camera

Add Execute Permissions to the Installation Script and Run It​

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Reboot the Raspberry Pi After Installation​

sudo reboot

2-lane / 4-lane Mode Description​

  • By default, 2-lane mode is used, and the IMX415 preview frame rate is 15fps.
  • Raspberry Pi 5 supports 4-lane mode, which can increase the preview frame rate to 30fps. To enable it, add the 4lane parameter to the dtoverlay line in /boot/firmware/config.txt:
dtoverlay=imx415,4lane,clk-37125,addr=0x1a,vcm,aw86017
  • After saving the change, reboot the Raspberry Pi for it to take effect.

Check if the Camera is Successfully Detected​

  • After reboot, run:
rpicam-hello --list-cameras
  • If the camera is successfully detected, you should see output similar to:
Available cameras

Preview and Autofocus Test​

Raspberry Pi 5​

  • Run:
rpicam-hello --autofocus-mode continuous --qt-preview -t 0 --info-text "focus:%focus, lp:%lp, afstate:%afstate" --tuning-file ~/imx415_af.json
  • Move the object at different distances and check if autofocus works properly.

Raspberry Pi 4 and Other Models​

  • Run:
rpicam-hello --autofocus-mode continuous --qt-preview -t 0 --info-text "focus:%focus, lp:%lp, afstate:%afstate" --tuning-file ~/imx415_af_vc4.json
