ArduCam B0348 Pivariety Color Global Shutter Camera

INTRODUCTION

About Arducam
Arducam has been a professional designer and manufacturer of SPI, MIPI, DVP, and USB cameras since 2012. We also offer customized turnkey design and manufacturing solution services for customers who want their products to be unique.
About This Pivariety Camera
Arducam Pivariety is a Raspberry Pi camera solution to take the advantage of using its hardware ISP functions. Pivariety camera modules make users get better performance and a wider variety of camera, lens options. In other words, Pivariety breakthrough the limitations of the closed-source official supported camera driver and camera modules (V1/ V2/H Q).

Pivariety camera modules made it possible to be well-tuned ISP with Auto Exposure, Auto White Balance, Auto Gain Control, Lens Shading Correction, etc. This series of cameras use the lib camera framework, they can’t be supported by Raspistill, and the way to access the camera is lib camera SDK (for C++)/lib camera-still/lib camera-vid/Gstreamer.

This Pivariety OGO2B10 Color Global Shutter Camera is migrated Raspberry Pi Cameras, which eliminate rolling shutter artifacts to shoot high-speed moving objects in color sharp images.

SOFTWARE

Driver Installation
wget -O install_pivariety_pkgs.sh https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arducam- Pivariety- V4L2-Driver/releases/download/install_script/install_pivariety_pkgs.sh
chmod +x install_pivariety_pkgs.sh
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p kernel_driver
press y to reboot
NOTE: The kernel driver installation is only supported by the latest version 5.10. For other kernel versions, please go to our Doc page : https://www.arducam.com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/pivariety/how-to- install-kernel-driver-for-pivarietycamera/#2-how-to-build-raspberry-pi-kernel- driverfor-arducam-pivariety-camera
You can also visit this doc page to refer to the hardware connection:
https://www.arducam.com/docs/cameras-for-raspberry- pi/pivariety/pivarietyog02b10-2mp-color-global-shutter-camera-module/
Test the Driver and Camera
After you’ve finished the hardware assembly and driver installation, you can test whether the camera is detected and working.
• View the Status of Driver and Camera
dmesg | grep arducam
It will display arducam-variety if the driver installed success- fully and firmware version if the camera can be detected.
The display should be probe failed if the camera can’t be detected, you might have to check the ribbon connection, then reboot the Raspberry Pi.
• View the Video Node
The Pivariety camera modules are emulated as the standard video device under /dev/video node, so you can use the ls command for listing the contents in the /dev folder.
ls /dev/video -l
Since the camera module is V4L2 compliant, you can use the V4l2 controls to list the supported color space, resolutions, and frame rates.
v4l2-ctl –list-formats-ext
NOTE: Although the V4L2 interface is supported, only RAW format images can be obtained, without ISP support.
Official Libcamera App Installation
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_dev
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps
Capture Image and Record Video
• Capture image
For example, preview for 5s and save the image named test.jpg
lib camera-still -t 5000 -o test.jpg
• Record video
For example, record an H.264 10s video with the frame size 1920W × 1080H
lib camera-vid -t 10000 –width 1920 –height 1080 -o test.h264
NOTE: H.264 format only supports 1920×1080 and below resolution.
• Plugin gstreamer installation
Install gstreamer
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gstreamer1.0-tools
Preview
gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc ! ‘video/xraw,width=1920,height=1080’ ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
