MMAP gives exception when initialising camera

[martienpoels-bank2loyalty]

Hi,

I was realy frustrated about the bullseye 64 bit implementation, which I need to run a onnx recognition under c#.
I tried running the new tools libcamera-still and after a few succesfull creation of stills the os reports memory corruption. So that libcamera stuff seems like a nightmare path. Also no C# support zero/nada...

Now I have installed ubuntu server 21.10 64 bit on a pi4b 1Gb.
Running "raspistill" works like a charm.
So halleluia I thought, I installed v4l-utils and it's output showed mmal devices. Promising....

bcm2835-codec-decode (platform:bcm2835-codec):
/dev/video10
/dev/video11
/dev/video12
/dev/media1

bcm2835-isp (platform:bcm2835-isp):
/dev/video13
/dev/video14
/dev/video15
/dev/video16
/dev/media0

mmal service 16.1 (platform:bcm2835-v4l2-0):
/dev/video0

I installed .dotnet sdk 5.0.401 on the device, including the latest version of MMAL. But unfortunately the lib crashes on initialisation.

I set LD_DEBUG=files and now it shows where it happens:

file=/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libmmal.so [0]; needed by /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libmmal_core.so [0] (relocation dependency)
12125:
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not find component 'vc.ril.camera'
Unhandled exception.

Any idea what's going on? Am I missing a library that I could check for. Or is just 64bit killing me..

Please help!

Apologies for the late response here. I have been mostly inactive on this project for some time now due to other commitments. MMALSharp is untested on other operating systems apart from Raspbian 32bit pre-Bullseye. Are there raspistill/raspivid implementations included in the Ubuntu distro that you can test against? Also, have you enabled the camera stack in raspiconfig?
