· View the Status of Driver and Camera
dmesg | grep arducam It will display arducam-pivariety if driver installed successfully 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 V4L2 interface is supported, only RAW format images can be obtained, without ISP support.
3. Official Libcamera App Installation
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_dev
./install_pivariety_pkgs.sh -p libcamera_apps

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/HQ).
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 libcamera framework, they can't be supported by Raspistill, and the way to access the camera is libcamera SDK (for C++)/libcamera-still/libcamera-vid/Gstreamer.
This Pivariety AR0234 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
1. 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 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-raspberrypi/pivariety/how-to-install-kernel-driver-forpivariety-camera/#2-how-to-build-raspberry-pikernel-driver-for-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/pivarietyar0234-2-3mp-color-global-shutter-cameramodule/
2. 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.

4. Capture Image and Record Video · Capture image
For example, preview for 5s and save the image named test.jpg libcamera-still -t 5000 -o test.jpg
· Record video
For example, record a H.264 10s video with the frame size 1920W × 1080H libcamera-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

3. Failed to Install the Driver
Please check the kernel version, we only provide the driver for the latest official kernel version image when this Pivariety camera released. Note: If you want to compile the kernel driver by yourself, please refer to Doc page: https://www.arducam.com/ docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/pivariety/how-to-installkernel-driver-for-pivariety-camera/
4. Failed to import fd 18
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std : : runtime_error' what( ): failed to import fd 18
Aborted If you find the same error, you may make the wrong selection about the graphics driver. Please follow Arducam Doc page to select the correct graphics driver.
5. Switch to the native camera (raspistill etc.)
Edit the file of /boot/config.txt, make dtoverlay=arducam change to # dtoverlay=arducam After the modification is completed, you need to reboot the Raspberry Pi. sudo reboot
NOTE: This camera module support trigger via an external signal, please refer to the Doc page to get the instruction https://www.arducam.com/ docs/cameras-for-raspberry-pi/pivariety/accessar0234-2-3mp-color-global-shutter-camera-usingexternal-trigger-snapshot-mode/
