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=imx708. If multiple cameras are connected, you can specify the cam0 or cam1 parameter, for example:

dtoverlay=imx708,cam0
dtoverlay=imx708,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.
