I am attempting to connect a raspberry pi camera (IMX219) to the MIPI CSI port. I have the proper cable to convert the 22 to 15 pin and I tested the power to make sure everything was routed properly. I am also running the default buildroot. When I connect the camera to either CSI port and run i2cdetect, I am not noticing any new address appear. Has anybody had a similar issue or success?

It is probably a software issue, maybe take a look here:

Maybe search for other people that have used IMX219 with IMX8MP.

Hey, I've tinkered with similar camera setups before! It's frustrating when i2cdetect doesn't pick anything up. Double-check your ribbon cable seating – those connections can be finicky. If the physical connection seems solid, maybe explore different device tree overlays for your Pi?
