Description

The Arducam MINI IMX477 camera module integrates the Sony IMX477 sensor into a compact 24mm x 25mm board, specifically engineered for Raspberry Pi Compute Module platforms. This module provides a 12.3-megapixel imaging solution with a 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface, delivering high-resolution still images and video streams suitable for advanced embedded vision tasks.

It comes pre-assembled with a 3.9mm focal length M12 mount lens, offering a 75° horizontal field of view and an F2.8 aperture for balanced light intake. The included 300mm 22-pin flex cable allows for flexible integration within enclosures and systems with size constraints, making it a practical choice for robotics, industrial inspection, and portable imaging devices.

Key Features

  • High-resolution 12.3MP Sony IMX477 sensor for detailed image capture.
  • Compact form factor (24mm x 25mm) designed for Raspberry Pi Compute Module series.
  • Standard 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface compatible with Raspberry Pi camera software stack.
  • Includes a low-distortion, M12 mount lens with 3.9mm focal length and F2.8 aperture.
  • Supports video modes including 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and 640x480 at 60/90fps.
  • Hardware supports 4-lane MIPI (requires custom driver and compatible 4-lane carrier board).
  • Ideal for applications with strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints.

Applications

  • Embedded vision systems for Raspberry Pi Compute Module-based devices.
  • Machine vision and inspection in compact robotics and drones.
  • High-resolution imaging for portable medical or scientific instruments.
  • Video capture for custom security and surveillance solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Raspberry Pi models is this Arducam IMX477 module compatible with?

This camera module is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module series, including the original CM, CM3, CM3+, and CM4. It is not directly compatible with standard Raspberry Pi boards (like the Pi 4B) which use a different physical connector. You need a carrier board designed for a Compute Module that exposes the camera serial interface (CSI) connector.

Does this IMX477 module support 4-lane MIPI for higher bandwidth?

The hardware of the module supports a 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 connection, but utilizing it requires both a carrier board with a 4-lane physical connector (most Raspberry Pi and Jetson boards only have 2-lane) and a custom camera driver. On platforms like the Raspberry Pi CM, even with 4 lanes, video capabilities are limited by the VideoCore GPU, which currently does not support 4K video from this sensor.

How do I connect and configure this camera with my Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4?

First, ensure your CM4 carrier board has a CSI connector compatible with the module's 22-pin flex cable. Connect the cable, enable the camera interface in your OS (e.g., via `raspi-config` on Raspberry Pi OS), and reboot. The module should be detected as a standard Raspberry Pi Camera v2 compatible device. Use libcamera or the legacy raspistill/raspivid tools for capturing images and video.
