Camera Driver
V4L2 Compliant driver for
Raspberry pi and Jetson
Nano
Board Size 38x38mm
Used on Raspberry Pi
1. Driver Installaon
• Download the driver for OBISP MIPI
camera
• Extract the Archive files
• Enter the extracted folder
• Install the driver
• Reboot the device
Press y, and then hit Enter to reboot.
wget hps://github.com/ArduCAM/
Arducam_OBISP_MIPI_Camera_Module/archive/v1.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf v1.0.tar.gz
cd Arducam_OBISP_MIPI_Camera_Module-1.0/Release/
./install_driver.sh
2. Check and Test the Camera
Aer you’ve nished the hardware assembly and driver
installaon, you can test whether the camera is detected
and working.
• List the Video Device
The OBISP MIPI camera modules are emulated as the stand-
ard video device under /dev/video* node, so you can use
the ls command for lisng the contents in the /dev folder.
• List the available video modes
Since the camera module is V4L2 compliant, you can use the
V4l2 controls to list the supported color space, resoluons,
and frame rates.
If you run the commands without results, you might have to
check the ribbon connecon or install the drivers correctly,
then reboot the Raspberry Pi.
ls /dev/video0
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
