      Hi Meng,

      I am trying to test veye imx327 with rpi4.

      What OS version does it support? Ubuntu Desktop/Server 64bit is ok or i should install rpi os 32bit?

      And then if Ubuntu supports, how to install drivers?
      Can you explain main steps? It is building from source?

      That manual only for Rpi OS? http://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/VEYE-MIPI-290/327_for_Raspberry_Pi

      Best regards, Viktor.

        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。

          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?
