      Hi Viktor,
      We use Pi OS32 bit for now. We support two application scenarios:

      1. veye_raspcam toolkit:
        Do not need any driver. It's raspcam like toolkit.

      2. v4l2 driver:
        v4l2 driver is provided. We test it on piOS 32bit.

      Here is the application index.
      http://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Application_Note_Index

      If you want to use this camera on ubuntu OS or piOS 64bit, please try to build from sources, I will help you if necessary.

      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.)

        I have tried:

        crosscompile kinux image veye327 driver for Ubuntu Desktop 21.04 Rpi4

        on rpi4

        uname -r

cp raspberrypi_v4l2/driver_source/cam_drv_src/rpi-5.x_all/veye327.c hirsute/drivers/media/i2c

        edit hirsute/drivers/media/i2c/Kconfig

        find section imx219 and after it add:

        config VIDEO_VEYE327
	tristate "VEYE VEYE327 sensor support"

        got to Device Drivers --> Multimedia Support --> Media ancillary drivers --> Camera sensor devices

        select veye327 and save

        make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- Image modules dtbs -j4

        copy image and dtb

        on rpi4 replace vmlinuz-* with compiled hirsute/arch/arm64/boot/Image

        on rpi4 copy to /boot/firmware/overlays dtb file hirsute/arch/arm64/boot/dst/overlays/veye327.dtbo

        Before was imx219 connected and it works on Ubuntu Desktop 21.04 rpi4 as /dev/video0

        Was replaced imx219 to veye327E.

        After reboot rpi4 loaded but /dev/video0 gone.

        Can you help me to understand what files i need to copy?
        May be config, system.map, initrd or other dtb files?

              I tried installing veye327 to rpiOs.

              I have 5.10.36 firmware. veye drivers don't have this version.

              I tried build from source, but failed.
              Copied built zImage and veye327.dtbo to rpi and got load kernel modules failed on startup.

              Updated: i did modules_install and veye327 works on rpiOs now.

              Can you help build kernel for Ubuntu Desktop Rpi?

                        Thanks very much.
                        I wonder how did you set camera parameters, I found that the cs_mipi_i2c.sh not working.

                            Can you use the original pi commands (e.g. raspistill raspivid), instead of using gst-launch?
