Michal Fita Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Armbianmonitor: https://paste.armbian.com/cahuqihuzo Raspberry OS has weird quirks that automate the process of setting up the system for using cameras, but I'm looking for clean way to set up the device tree to use the imx219 camera. Anyone knows what overlays to enable to get this to work on Armbian? Additionally where's the location of device tree overlays sources for Raspberry Pi 5 on Armbian? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony winner Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I also am trying to change RasPi device tree, see my post: What I've discovered thus far: Overlays are not enabled for RasPi, if you try to do an "armbian-add-overlay" you get an error. Only way I know at this point for kernel mods that works is to change "/boot/firmware/config.txt" and "/boot/firmware/armbian.txt" . But what you can do there is very limited. Also as an aside the overlays are @ "/boot/firmware/overlays" , and "/boot/dtb/overlays". Root device tree @ "/boot/dtb/broadcom/", but I have not gotten any to load as of yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your running a "jammy" version of the build, then you get the RasPi utilities like "raspi-config" and "dtoverlay" that might help.

c0rnelius Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Using overlays on the PI whilst on Armbian should be no different than doing so on RaspiOS. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#overlay_prefix If you don't know how to use them I suggest you use google or check the foundation docs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, so far it doesn't work. On RPi5's Raspberry OS enabling `dtparam=i2c_arm=on` in `/boot/firmware/config.txt` turns I²C on, but it doesn't on Armbian. I find it confusing overlays are in two distinct locations under `/boot`. More clues welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
