      Hi @sheko, I have another mono camera but probably it should be same.
      I suppose camera visible by libcamera (should work something like rpicam-hello ).
      And according to the error log your openCV uses Gstreamer as backend. Libcamera has plugin for Gstreamer : libcamerasrc and my pipeline looks like:

      libcamerasrc camera-name="/base/axi/pcie@120000/rp1/i2c@88000/veyemvcam@3b" ! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1, format=UYVY ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=GRAY8 ! appsink sync=1

      You need just set your camera path (according to mipi port it could be i2c@88000 or i2c@80000 ) , set your camera settings (resolution, format, fps) and remove convert to GREY8 if need color image.

          Hi @sheko, I had same problem with RPi 5, did you build and install libcamera from veye github repository? For some reason it has config json file only for RPi 4.

          First step try run it with uncalibrated json :

          rpicam-still --tuning-file /usr/local/share/libcamera/ipa/rpi/pisp/data/uncalibrated.json -t 0

          Path may be different, if failed to load json file - try to find valid path.

          if video opened - we need just put to same folder mvcam_mono.json (or add to libcamera source code, update meson.build and rebuild + reinstall )

          and check if rpicam-hello or rpicam-still works without tuning file

          I attached my current config (rename it to json) but it adopted for night sky and you need fix in json file section : exposure_modes . normal, copy it for example from se327m12.json
          mvcam_mono.txt

            RAW-MIPI-SC132M does not support libcamera, nor software based on libcamera. Direct invocation via the v4l2 API is required.

            Questions will be answered as soon as possible, please be patient.
            如果你使用中文，请直接用中文提问。
            May the force be with YOU. (This is the translation of the mysterious Chinese symbol above.)

              Hi @veye_xumm, sorry for confusion, in previous time you guided me to install custom libcamera for veye_mvcam driver and seems like this step is outdated (but I'm still using libcamera).

              @Sheko try another pipeline in openCV:

              v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY, width=1920, height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=GRAY8 ! appsink sync=1

                  I got the title wrong - I meant Picamera2. I need to start working in Opencv first.

                    This is pipeline which need place to openCV instead:

                    cap = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video0')

                    to run it from command line you need use gstreamer, try :

                    gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY, width=1920, height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=GRAY8 ! appsink sync=1

                        @sheko please update pipeline with your camera parameters (width, height, framerate). I just copied mine.

                            @veye_xumm said in RAW-MIPI-SC132M camera working in raspberry pi 5. Cannot be configured to work with the libcamera2 and opencv libraries:

                            Требуется прямой вызов через v4l2 API.

                            Direct call via v4l2 API? What does that mean? Give an example for Python.

                              As I see your standard camera parameters are: 1080x1280 120fps
                              And as it configured in python script for first step try:

                              cap = cv2.VideoCapture('v4l2src device=/dev/video0')

                              if still failing try with passing parameters to gstreamer:

                              cap = cv2.VideoCapture('v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY, width=1080, height=1280,framerate=120/1 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=GRAY8 ! appsink sync=1')

                              or from command line to check if gstreamer works without python

                              gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY, width=1080, height=1280,framerate=120/1 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=GRAY8 ! appsink sync=1

                              if still failing try RAW8 format

                              gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=RAW8, width=1080, height=1280,framerate=120/1 ! appsink sync=1

                              if still failing, can't help, I don't have this sensor.

                                  It turns out the manufacturer is ignoring requests for help. Only kind and caring people are helping... The problem remains unresolved.

                                    @sheko Sorry, I just got back from the Chinese New Year holiday. Regarding using the RAW-MIPI-SC132M on the Raspberry Pi 5, I suggest you primarily refer to this document. It covers driver installation, how to use the V4L2 mode, and methods for previewing using OpenCV.
