Arducam USB camera shield and Arducam ov5642 camera: streaming sample does not work

Help & Support Robot Parts

I received this Arducam USB camera shield:
https://www.robotshop.com/en/arducam-usb-camera-shield.html

with this ov5642 camera:
https://www.robotshop.com/en/arducam-5-mp-camera-module-ov5642-cs-mount-lens.html

I followed the steps for Streaming_demo (Python as well as Cpp):
https://github.com/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Shield/tree/master/RaspberryPi

All installations are successful, and compiling the Cpp demo was fine as well. But starting the demos (Python or CPP) errors out with thes messages:

pi@raspberrypi3B:~/ArduCAM_USB_Camera_Shield/RaspberryPi/Cpp/Streaming_demo $ sudo ./ArduCam_Demo ../../../cpp_config/AR0134_960p_Color.yml 
device num:1

Error capture image, rtn_val = 65318
Error capture image, rtn_val = 65318
Error capture image, rtn_val = 65318
...

If I remove the USB cable, dmesg states “USB disconnect, device number 5”.

On reconnect of USB cable these messages appear for “dmesg” command:

[12187.589859] usb 1-1.2: USB disconnect, device number 5
[12246.760814] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg
[12247.191825] usb 1-1.2: language id specifier not provided by device, defaulting to English
[12247.193205] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=52cb, idProduct=52cb
[12247.193217] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

What can be the problem? Is it possible that USB camera shield or ov5642 camera are defect?

I did use the wrong config file, this command does work:

sudo ./ArduCam_Demo ../../../cpp_config/OV5642_JPEG_QSXGA.yml
