Using Raspberry Pi cameras in Zero 3E

#1

Basically I have tested two cameras: one is the officially supported imx219 and the other is imx290 designed for Raspberry Pi with 15 pin.

What I have found is that the configuration of pins are different in those two cameras as follows:

A) imx219 for Radxa,

Pin Signal Pin Signal
1 VCC3.3V 9 GND
2 SDA 10 MDP1
3 SCL 11 MCN1
4 MCLK 12 GND
5 PWDN 13 MDP0
6 GND 14 MDN0
7 MCP 15 GND
8 MCN

B) imx290 for Rasberry Pi,

|Pin #|Name|Description|
|1|GND|Ground|
|2|CAM_D0_N|MIPI Data Lane 0 Negative|
|3|CAM_D0_P|MIPI Data Lane 0 Positive|
|4|GND|Ground|
|5|CAM_D1_N|MIPI Data Lane 1 Negative|
|6|CAM_D1_P|MIPI Data Lane 1 Positive|
|7|GND|Ground|
|8|CAM_CK_N|MIPI Clock Lane Negative|
|9|CAM_CK_P|MIPI Clock Lane Positive|
|10|GND|Ground|
|11|CAM_IO0|Power Enable|
|12|CAM_IO1|LED Indicator|
|13|CAM_SCL|I2C SCL|
|14|CAM_SDA|I2C SDA|
|15|CAM_3V3|3.3V Power Input|

The order is reversed and two pins are different: PWDN for POWER Enable, MCLK for LED indicator. How can I connect my raspberry pi imx290 to Radxa zero 3e safely? Using adaptor in the reverse order?

Hi Lukas

For the csi interface line sequence of zero-3e, please refer to the document: https://docs.radxa.com/zero/zero3/accessories/camera

Also, will the imx219 camera work properly on the zero-3w?

Thanks for your reply.

I followed the instruction and enable the Raspberry pi v2.0 camera overay.
however, there is still no /dev/video0, which means OS still cannot recognize the camera
, Radxa Camera 8M 219.

I have updated and upgraded by apt, but still CSI is correctly connected as mentioned in the document using csi cable in the camera box. I am baffled.

Can you take a picture of the CSI connector on the ZERO-3E?

I finally found out what exactly happened. First, please update you image and overlay screen in your tutorial and please add one more sentence: find your camera model and hit space to select and hit enter key, then it will adopt the new overlay. Sorry and thank you anyway.
