PICAMERA MODULE V2 DETAILS
The Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 replaced the original Camera Module in April 2016. The v2 Camera Module has a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor (compared to the 5-megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor of the original camera).
It supports 1080p30, 720p60 and VGA90 video modes, as well as still capture. It attaches via a 15cm ribbon cable to the CSI port on the Raspberry Pi.
#SOFTWARE
You can download the Raspberry Pi Imager from:
www.raspberrypi.org/software/
If you use Windows, you will need Putty software to make SSH remote connections to your Raspberry
Pi. Please download it from:
the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/...
To generate SSH RSA key, please download the following tool, also from Putty.org webpage:

Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoy the video.
Regards,

Hi, When i cd into /boot/uboot/ there is no file config.txt in there I can create the file and add start_x=1 but i still cannot see the camera. Could this be an issue with the camera or am i missing something? Thanks

[@thomasacheson3796]

resolved The new rasp pi imager uses ubuntu core 20 not ubuntu core 18. in ubuntu core 20 the config.txt file has been moved to /run/mnt/ubuntu-seed

Great! Glad you got it right. Well done!

Would it work with Ubuntu Mate too?

[@linuxtechschool4841]

Yes!! Check: ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ You might need to use an RPI 4 with 2/4/8GB of RAM. Regards!
