how to setup mv-mipi-imx287m on rpi zero 2w?

UPD solved

Hi,

I'm trying to run mv-mipi-imx287m on rpi zero 2w, following this guide: https://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/V4L2_mode_for_Raspberry_Pi

My actions:

#!/bin/bash

set -ex

cd ~/
rm -rf raspberry*

wget https://github.com/veyeimaging/raspberrypi_v4l2/releases/latest/download/raspberrypi_v4l2.tgz 
tar xzf raspberrypi_v4l2.tgz

# build driver
cd ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/driver_source/cam_drv_src/rpi-6.6.y
make

# build dtbo
cd ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/driver_source/dts/rpi-6.6.y
./build_dtbo.sh

cd ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/release

# create bin dir for current kernel
mkdir -p driver_bin/$(uname -r)

cp ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/driver_source/cam_drv_src/rpi-6.6.y/*.ko driver_bin/$(uname -r)/
cp ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/driver_source/dts/rpi-6.6.y/*.dtbo driver_bin/$(uname -r)/

ls -l driver_bin/$(uname -r)/*.{ko,dtbo}

cd ~/raspberrypi_v4l2/release
chmod +x *.sh
yes no | ./uninstall_driver.sh veye_mvcam

sed -i 's/\/boot\/cmdline\.txt/\/boot\/firmware\/cmdline\.txt/g' install_driver.sh
yes | ./install_driver.sh veye_mvcam

Result:

Did anyone try to setup this camera module on rpi zero 2w?

UPD: I have the same error with rpi5 (used install_driver_rpi5.sh instead of install_driver.sh). I've checked my cable connections and everything looks correct (please correct me if I'm wrong)

UPD2: SOLVED. The problem was that I've tried to put ribbon cable under brown plastic thing. Ribbon should go above it, and contacts should be faced up, not to the board. Like this:

And this is wrong:

@veye_xumm do you know what framerate can be achieved on rpi zero 2w with imx287?

I'm getting ~320 fps + ~80 frames drops per second when using v4l2-ctl

$ v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=-1 -d /dev/video0 --stream-to=/dev/null
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 319.87 fps, dropped buffers: 79

and ~240 fps + ~80 frame drops per second when using my C program (V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE + V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP, used 3 buffers)

VIDIOC_DQBUF takes ~4000 microseconds in my case

fps: 252 dropped: 77 dq: 3996
fps: 250 dropped: 71 dq: 4031
fps: 247 dropped: 74 dq: 4041
fps: 248 dropped: 75 dq: 4033

I've set camera fps using this command

v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl frame_rate=523

the interesting thing is that I have frame drops even if I set very low fps, e.g. 10

<<<<<<< 6.67 fps, dropped buffers: 2
<<<< 7.50 fps, dropped buffers: 3
<<<<<< 6.87 fps, dropped buffers: 1

as well as using v4l2 C interface (dq is dequeue time in microseconds)

fps: 7 dropped: 0 dq: 170145
fps: 6 dropped: 1 dq: 166645
fps: 5 dropped: 2 dq: 299999
fps: 3 dropped: 2 dq: 366619
fps: 8 dropped: 0 dq: 124991

I had no issues with ov9281 cams from different vendors when using v4l2 C interface on rpi zero 2w, these cams have 1280x800 resolution, 8-bits per pixel and 144 max fps for this format (I'm not sure about rpi zero 2w capabilities though, it seems at least ~385 fps should be possible (?) (1280×800×144) / (704×544×530) × 530 == 385). can these drops be related to veye driver? Do you have any ideas where I can start from to debug it?

Thanks in advance
