Rock 5B+ Camera IMX214 13MP

ROCK 5 Series 5B/5B+

Hi folks,
I’ve successfully got working the Radxa Camera 13MP based on IMX214 using the RadxaOS image, applying the overlay and using the instructions provided in the wiki page. I cannot see the correct colors on either live stream or on still captures (and images are very dark).

Commands used:

# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video11 io-mode=4 ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=4208,height=3120 ! xvimagesink;

# gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video11 io-mode=4 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080 ! jpegenc ! multifilesink location=file.name.jpg

The following image shows a white case for another device with three wires comming out of it, they are orange, green and yellow(the one the right) and the image had to be iluminated with a camera flashlight to see anything (the auto-focus topic is probably a different topic).

This is on the debian rock-5b-plus_bookworm_kde_r7.
Has anyone been able to get this camera module working well?

Cheers

Try these commands:

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/radxa-pkg/rockchip-iqfiles/refs/heads/main/rockchip-iqfiles-rk3588/imx214_RADXA-CAMERA-13M_DEFAULT.json -P /etc/iqfiles
sudo reboot

And try again.

Great this was clearly the problem, thanks!
So I suppose this package needs updating upstream so the debian bookworm will pick it up? I see that camera-engine-rkaiq in that debian when up-to-date is version 6.8.0-rk3588 (or v30 rkisp).
I will now proceed to test the rest of the camera (HDR, autofocus, sharpness).
