Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached picam2_check.py example and the minimal pixi.toml shown in the issue, then inspect the repository's existing documentation structure. Document the Raspberry Pi prerequisites, libcamera and libpisp removal command, pixi configuration, and example so a user can follow the setup successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For anyone that wishes to try this on a Raspberry Pi, this is what I have found.

  • uninstall libcamera and libpisp from your system with sudo apt remove ...

  • you need this minimal pixi.toml:

[workspace]
channels = ["conda-forge"]
name = "libcam_test"
platforms = [{ platform = "linux-aarch64", glibc = "2.34" }]
version = "0.1.0"

[tasks]

[dependencies]
picamera2 = ">=0.3.36,<0.4"

This is a minimal picamera2 example to see if things are working:

picam2_check.py
