IMX415 Camera with Android 12

#1

H everyone,

I’m facing an issue while setting up the IMX415 sensor on Android 12. Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  • Built and flashed Android using the Android12_RK3588_Radxa_rk12 branch, following the instructions at this link.

  • Uncommented the following line in rk3588-rock-5b.dts to enable the sensor driver:

     #include "rk3588-radxa-rock5b-imx415.dtsi"

After applying these steps, I can see that devices are added in /dev/videoX, and media-ctl -p reports an attached topology, which appears to be correct as far as I can determine.

# ls /dev/video* 
/dev/video0  /dev/video10  /dev/video12  /dev/video14  /dev/video16  /dev/video2  /dev/video4
/dev/video6  /dev/video8   /dev/video1  /dev/video11  /dev/video13  /dev/video15  /dev/video17 
...

However, I’m encountering an issue in the Android camera launcher. In the logcat, I see the following error:

10-27 14:06:37.644  2621  2621 W CAM_Camera2OneCamMgr: No back-facing camera found.
10-27 14:06:37.644  2621  2621 W CAM_Camera2OneCamMgr: No front-facing camera found,try to find external facing camera.
10-27 14:06:37.644  2621  2621 W CAM_Camera2OneCamMgr: No external camera found.

I’ve also attached /vendor/etc/camera/camera3_profiles.xml from my device for your reference. I’ve been investigating the documentation in RKDocs/common/camera/HAL3, but so far, I haven’t found any mismatches in my configuration.

Any help on this issue would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Igor

I’ve identified the root cause of the issue I encountered.

In the original instruction, the Android12_RK3588_Radxa_rk8 branch is used, which unfortunately does not work with the camera. After switching to the newer branch, Android12_RK3588_Radxa_rk12, the camera functionality worked perfectly without any additional configuration.

It may be beneficial to update the instruction to recommend using the Android12_RK3588_Radxa_rk12 branch for camera compatibility or clearly specify the branch that works with the camera.

Thank you for your attention and assistance.

Regards,
Igor
