Nerves + Raspberry Pi 5 + Camera Module 3 not working
Hi Nerves friends,
I’m running Nerves on Raspberry Pi 5 and want to record video with my Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3.
On both a brand new mix nerves.new firmware burn and with nerves_livebook_rpi5.fw, I get this:
iex(1)> cmd("libcamera-hello --list-cameras")
No cameras available!
0
On another SD card I’m running Raspbian, and it works just fine:
Has anybody tried Nerves + Raspberry Pi 5 + Camera Module 3, or have any ideas what I’m missing?
Thanks

Solved it, I needed to add
BR2_PACKAGE_FFMPEG=y
BR2_PACKAGE_FFMPEG_GPL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_X264=y
to have rpicam-apps compiled with libav and x264 support.

We’re able to list cameras and take images now. Update to the nerves_system_rpi5 v0.6.3 release and you’ll get the fixes. The change notes have details. Please post if you have any more camera issues.
