Notes and version constraints
- The source provides no explicit compatibility statement for this specific model beyond the general board list.
- No pricing, stock, certification, or warranty information is present in the source.
- Version-sensitive steps: On Bookworm configure /boot/firmware/config.txt; on older systems use /boot/config.txt.
- For IMX290 on Pi 5 an extra JSON file must be added to the command directory – not directly applicable to the OV5647 module.
- Auto-focus applies only to certain official cameras; unclear for this model.
