Description

1. Product Overview

 

The CAM-IMX585-M is a high-performance monochrome CMOS image sensor designed for demanding imaging applications in embedded systems. Featuring an advanced Starvis 2 back-illuminated pixel structure, this 8.3MP sensor delivers exceptional low-light performance, high dynamic range, and precise image quality across diverse lighting conditions.

With native 3840×2160 (4K UHD) resolution and support for 10/12/16-bit RAW output, the CAM-IMX585-M enables professional-grade imaging for surveillance, industrial inspection, machine vision, and embedded vision applications. The sensor’s MIPI CSI-2 4-lane interface ensures reliable high-speed data transmission to host processors like Raspberry Pi 5 and NVIDIA Jetson.

Note: While the sensor supports 10/12/16-bit RAW output, the current driver configuration operates in 12-bit RAW (R12_CSI2P) mode on Raspberry Pi 5.

3. Software Installation

This repository provides the necessary drivers, Image Processing Algorithm (IPA) modules, and an automated installation script to enable full support for the IMX585 sensor on Raspberry Pi.

3.1 Repository Contents

  • pkg1-imx585-driver-6.12y-offline.tar.gz: Offline driver build package.
  • pkg2-rpicam-libcamera-offline.tar.gz: Offline libcamera build package.

3.2 Step 1: Offline Driver Compilation

For advanced users who need to compile the driver from source:

Package: pkg1-imx585-driver-6.12y-offline.tar.gz

Contents:

  • imx585-v4l2-driver/ – Kernel driver source code
  • install.sh – Automated driver installation script

Installation:

$ tar -xzf pkg1-imx585-driver-6.12y-offline.tar.gz
$ cd pkg1-imx585-driver
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh

3.3 Step 2: Offline libcamera & rpicam-apps Compilation

 

For complete offline compilation of libcamera with IMX585 support and rpicam-apps:

Package: pkg2-rpicam-libcamera-offline.tar.gz

Contents:

  • libcamera-imx585/ – libcamera source with IMX585 IPA support
  • rpicam-apps-imx585/ – rpicam-apps source
  • build.sh – Automated build and installation script

Installation:

$ tar -xzf pkg2-rpicam-libcamera-offline.tar.gz
$ cd pkg2-rpicam-offline
$ chmod +x build.sh
$ sudo ./build.sh           # Full mode with Qt support
$ sudo ./build.sh --lite    # Lite mode (minimal dependencies)

Build Time: ~30-40 minutes (full mode) or ~15-20 minutes (lite mode)

3.4 Manual Configuration

 

Edit your /boot/firmware/config.txt (Pi 5) or /boot/config.txt (Pi 4) and add one of the following configurations:

Default (CAM1 port, Color mode):

camera_auto_detect=0
dtoverlay=imx585

Use CAM0 port:

dtoverlay=imx585,cam0

Monochrome mode:

dtoverlay=imx585,mono

CAM0 + Monochrome:

dtoverlay=imx585,cam0,mono

Reboot your Raspberry Pi for the changes to take effect:

$ sudo reboot

4. Testing the Camera

 

After installation and rebooting, you can verify the camera detection and test its functionality using the standard rpicam-apps.

4.1 Verify Detection

 

List the available cameras to ensure the IMX585 is detected correctly:

rpicam-hello --list-cameras

4.2 Capture Commands

 

Live Preview:

rpicam-hello -t 0

Capture a 4K Image:

rpicam-still -o 4k_image.jpg --width 3856 --height 2180

Record a 4K Video (30fps):

rpicam-vid -t 10000 --width 3856 --height 2180 -o 4k_video.h264
