Nix-raspi-camera: Raspberry PI camera module and apps

Announcements
1

Raspberry Pi provides a hardware camera interface and API based on libisp, libcamera and rpicam-apps.

My project which brings the above parts together into a draft flake-based Nixos module.

The module sets up runs a simple RTSP broadcasting server on a RaspberryPi 4B board, offering few or no configurable options. I do not currently plan to enhance anything or make tests with other boards. Still, I hope that it might become a reference example for other programmers.

Please let me know if you want me to share the link on the Nixos raspberry pi wiki page or somewhere else.

I am bungling my way through trying to get my zero2 w working with the camera v 2 module on nixos, and came across your repo and this post.

You mentioned in “Problems” looking for the dts overlay, is it this?

Did you succeed in getting the camera v2 module to work? I kinda gave up with my raspberry pi 4.

Hi @aou . Sorry I missed your question. Indeed, the link you provided points to a promising dts source. A good thing to do would be to try removing the binary patch I used and including this source as described here.

@7FM I had to put this project on hold as other stuff bubbled up… hopefully will get back to trying eventually!
