4. 설정 지침
Follow these steps to assemble and connect your camera extension kit to a Raspberry Pi.
4.1 하드웨어 조립
- Attach IMX219 Camera Module to Tx Board: Carefully connect the 8MP IMX219 camera module to the Arducam GMSL2 camera Tx (Serializer) board. Ensure the ribbon cable is inserted correctly and the latch is secured.
- Connect Fakra Coaxial Cable: Connect one end of the 1m Fakra Z coaxial cable to the Tx board and the other end to the Rx (Deserializer) board. Ensure the connectors click into place securely.
- Mount Rx Board to Raspberry Pi: Attach the Arducam GMSL2 Rx board to your Raspberry Pi (compatible with Pi 4B and Pi 5). Use the provided stand-offs and screws to secure the board to the Raspberry Pi's mounting holes.
- Connect FPC Cable: Connect the 40mm 22-22pin FPC cable from the Rx board to the CSI-2 camera port on your Raspberry Pi. Note that the white cable is typically for Pi 5 and the bronze/orange cable for Pi 4. Ensure the cable is inserted with the contacts facing the correct direction and the connector latch is closed.

Image 4.4: The kit supports up to 15 meters extension, though the included coaxial cable is 1 meter in length.
4.2 소프트웨어 구성
After hardware assembly, configure your Raspberry Pi OS to recognize and utilize the camera. This typically involves enabling the camera interface and using libcamera 도구.
- Update Raspberry Pi OS: Ensure your Raspberry Pi OS is up to date by running:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y - Enable Camera Interface: Use the Raspberry Pi configuration tool:
로 이동 인터페이스 옵션 > 카메라 and enable it. Reboot your Raspberry Pi if prompted.sudo raspi-config - Verify Camera Detection: After reboot, you can check if the camera is detected using
libcamera-still:
You should see your IMX219 camera listed.libcamera-still --list-cameras
5. 사용 설명서
This section covers basic commands for operating your Arducam GMSL2 camera with Raspberry Pi.
5.1 Capturing Still Images
To capture a still image, use the libcamera-still 명령:
libcamera-still -o image.jpgThis command will capture an image and save it as image.jpg in your current directory.
For a preview window and autofocus, you can use:
libcamera-still -t 0 --autofocus --keypressThis command will open a preview window, enable autofocus, and wait for a key press to capture an image. Press 'q' to quit the preview.
5.2 비디오 녹화
To record video, use the libcamera-vid 명령:
libcamera-vid -t 10000 -o video.h264This command will record video for 10 seconds (10000 milliseconds) and save it as video.h264.
5.3 라이브 프리view
For a continuous live preview without saving, use libcamera-still with a long timeout and no output file:
libcamera-still -t 0Press 'q' to quit the preview.

6. 유지관리
- Keep the camera lens clean using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
- 사용하지 않을 때는 건조하고 먼지가 없는 환경에 보관하세요.
- Regularly check cable connections for looseness or damage.
- Ensure proper ventilation for the Raspberry Pi and camera boards during operation to prevent overheating.
7. 문제 해결
- 카메라가 감지되지 않았습니다:
- Verify all ribbon and coaxial cable connections are secure and correctly oriented.
- Ensure the camera interface is enabled in
raspi-config. - Check if the Raspberry Pi OS is updated to the latest version.
- Confirm the FPC cable type matches your Raspberry Pi model (white for Pi 5, bronze for Pi 4).
- Poor Image Quality / No Signal:
- Inspect the Fakra coaxial cable for kinks or damage.
- 카메라 렌즈가 깨끗하고 이물질이 없는지 확인하십시오.
- Check the power supply to the Raspberry Pi; insufficient power can affect camera performance.
- 자동 초점 문제:
- Ensure sufficient lighting in the environment.
- Try manually focusing if the
libcameracommand supports it, or restart the application.
