Hi,
Is tis model supported by the rockpi 4b
Raspberry Pi night vision camera , compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+/3/2
5 million pixel OV5647 camera
Camera specification:
Lens : 1/4 5M
Aperture (F): 1.8
Focal length (Focal Length): 3.6MM ( adjustable)
FOV (Diagonal): 60 degrees
Best pixel sensor : 1080p
Size : 25mm x 24mm x 22mm
@Pierre, I am also trying the same camera. But after installing the gstreamer-rockchip-extra package successfully from the repository given by @jack above, it still does not work for me, I get an error saying “unable to allocate memory” and the pipeline shuts down without showing any output on the display. Can someone help to resolve this? I think all the necessary packages are installed, and I also upgraded to the latest Radxa kernel version for Ubuntu Server 18.04.
So far, we don’t support this sensor, yet. We support ov5645 but ov5647 is not tested. I suggest to test on Debian Stretch armhf desktop first. It’s pre-installed all the packages with gstreamer and proven working with ov5645 and imx219.
Hi @jack, @themathgeek13,
I found this: https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Webcam-HOWTO/hardware.html , https://github.com/6by9/raspiraw and finaly http://html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/587045/OMNIVISION/OV5647/1204/2/OV5647.html (Maybe this can help)
But so far am unable to make the camera work. I am on the latest Ubuntu Image.
Is there a guide or Howto to writing a driver/kernel module for our cameras?
Thanks
Pierre
Hi, Pierre
I am glad that you would like to get the ov5647 sensor working. I think basically, you can just use the ov5647 dirver from the kernel and configure the rockpi4 dts fowlloing imx219 part.
ov5647 driver is in the kernel now.
https://github.com/radxa/kernel/blob/release-4.4-rockpi4/drivers/media/i2c/ov5647.c
and imx219 device tree:
For how to compile the kernel:
thanks i will try it
When i did the install with dpkg -i linux-image-4.4.154-999-rockchip-_all.deb linux-firmware-image-4.4.154-999-rockchip-_all.deb
It installed it on the emmc and it would not boot from the SSD. I had to re-edit the > Edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
But now I am wondering if I install it correctly.
When I did a dmesg | grep cam or vid
I do not see the cam detected.
I do not see any modules available in the directory to load in the kernel
@jack can you give me a Hit on what I did incorrectly Thanks!
@ themathgeek13 Did you get a chance to try this? Did it work?
Thanks
Pierre
I am looking around and found out that the headers are not installed
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh build-essential linux-headers-uname -r
[sudo] password for rock:
dpkg-query: package ‘linux-headers-4.4.154-999-rockchip-gc26d93d00149’ is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: linux-headers-4.4.154-999-rockchip-gc26d93d00149 is not installed
So i filely installed the Header package with this:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install /home/rock/linux-headers-4.4.154-999-rockchip-gc26d93d00149_4.4.154-999-rockchip_all.deb
After that i was able to run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh build-essential linux-headers-uname -r
For /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, please edit /etc/default/extlinux file and run /usr/local/sbin/update_extlinux.sh manually to take effect.
Hi @jack and thanks for the reply.
this is what i see now with Dmesg

I also found the code for the driver : ov5647.c
How can we make a module with this so we can load it in the kernel?
hello, @Pierre
About the “rkximagesink”, here is the related pages from github
So, the [gstreamer-rockchip-extra] library and the related rockchip libraries may be necessary to run this command, i think.
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 io-mode=4 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080 ! rkximagesink
Btw, i am trying to make a raspberry pi camera module working on rock pi as well.
Hope we can make it done quickly.
Good luck!
I give it a try Thanks!
Hi everyone,
Any news on this ? @Pierre, did it work?
@jack the devicetree you pasted puts imx219 on i2c4, but the schematics for Rockpi4 the camera should be on either i2c2 or i2c7. What am I missing here?
Thanks!
Eze
Ah, I wasn’t reading the schematics right. With the right I2C and the right GPIO enabled, now the camera is detected!
Hi @jack,
I am also trying to get ov5647 sensor working with rock pi and I have followed your instruction by editing /etc/default/extlinux file and running /usr/local/sbin/update_extlinux.sh. However, I can’t still get it working and the i2c port (i2c-4, as follows) on the MIPI CSI slot doesn’t seem to be detected.
rock@rockpi:~$ i2cdetect -l
i2c-0 unknown rk3x-i2c N/A
i2c-1 unknown rk3x-i2c N/A
i2c-2 unknown rk3x-i2c N/A
i2c-7 unknown rk3x-i2c N/A
i2c-9 unknown DesignWare HDMI N/A
Do I need to enable the i2c port or something?
FYI: I’m using Ubuntu Server 18.04 and have upgraded to the latest Radxa kernel version (4.4.154-95).
Thanks,
Cheston
OV5647 is supported. First make sure you have ov5647.dtbo under /boot/overlays, then edit /boot/hw_intfc.conf to enable it by uncommenting the following line:
intfc:dtoverlay=ov5647Hi @jack! After your comment, I have got the directory /boot/overlays by installing
sudo apt-get install rockchip-fstab
sudo apt-get install rockpi4-dtbo
and uncommented intfc:dtoverlay=ov5647 in /boot/hw_intfc.conf.
I then tried to run Cheese to see the webcam output but the pi freezed like before. What else need to be done?
Here is some output that may be helpful to diagnose:

Hi @jack! I have reimaged my rock pi 4b to the official rock pi debian 9 image and followed the instructions to the get the camera working but I’m still getting errors.
I have checked /boot/overlays that I do have ov5647.dtbo and uncommented intfc:dtoverlay=ov5647 in /boot/hw_intfc.conf. I have also checked https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/hardware/devtree_overlays to see I have the correct number of files in /boot, knowing that I don’t have the rockpi-4b-linux.dtb file. I’m not sure how significant this file is and I don’t know how to generate this file. Could this be the problem?
Anyway, I’ve got to this page (https://wiki.radxa.com/Rockpi4/MIPI_Camera) and ran
test_camera-rkisp1.sh
Finally I got this error message
linaro@rockpi:~$ test_camera-rkisp1.sh

I tried googling every line of this error message but none of the workaround worked for me. Please advise what other changes I could make.
Hi, can anyone help me to understand how to distinguish which version of raspicam I have , if on the camera no labels appear?
I have also a Pi3 (from which I’m tryng to migrate) if this can help.
Moreover script test_camera-rkisp1.sh is not found. How to install it?
My system is Armbian+xfce with ROS and Opencv 4.1.1
Tank you
Hello. Have the same problems as discussed in this topic, but in 2020 most of mentioned github links (e.g. gstreamer-rockchip-extra) are outdated. What should I do to use rpi camera v2.5 on Radxa’s ubuntu server 20.04?
