@Anyo: That's great news! Looking forward to try it out.

Thank you ANJO, the PR was merged? 3rd party indi-libcamera still embeds libcamera-apps

What I mean is that my PR to libcamera-apps has been merged and will be part if the next release... whenever that will be. Then we can update the driver and remove the copied source.

I have problems with the libcamera driver, if I use it outside indi everything works when instead I want to connect with ekos it doesn't activate and tries 5 times to connect without result, why does it work for you?
I have an IMX 462 connected to the Raspi 4B camera module

In libcamera with compilation have this error:

It can only build against the v2 libindi so you need to also compile and install the current version of indi branch, not only the 3rd party drivers:

Thanks for response. I already have libindi V2, but by branch do you also mean third-party libraries?
Ettore

If you actually had the v2 indi headers installed in /usr/, you wouldn't get these errors... do `grep -r addFITSKeywords /usr/include /usr/local/include` and check if there are matches. Note that by default, I think the indi libs get installed in `/usr/local/include` and v1 versions in `/usr/include` will override them.

Yes i have this:

/usr/include/libindi/indireceiver.h: virtual void addFITSKeywords(fitsfile *fptr, uint8_t* buf, int len) override;
/usr/include/libindi/indisensorinterface.h: * SensorInterface::addFITSKeywords.
/usr/include/libindi/indisensorinterface.h: virtual void addFITSKeywords(fitsfile *fptr, uint8_t* buf, int len);
/usr/include/libindi/indispectrograph.h: virtual void addFITSKeywords(fitsfile *fptr, uint8_t* buf, int len) override;
/usr/include/libindi/indidetector.h: void addFITSKeywords(fitsfile *fptr, uint8_t* buf, int len) override;
/usr/include/libindi/dsp/dspinterface.h: void addFITSKeywords(fitsfile *fptr);
/usr/include/libindi/indiccd.h: * CCD::addFITSKeywords.
/usr/include/libindi/indiccd.h: virtual void addFITSKeywords(CCDChip * targetChip, std::vector<FITSRecord> &fitsKeywords);


Ettore

How do you install indi-bin 2.0.2 on raspberry it doesn't work for me, i'm clumsy.
Ettore

Good morning, You have news?
Ettore

Anjio have news?
