Intel RealSense

Install

sudo apt-get install automake libtool libusb-1.0-0-dev libx11-dev xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo apt install libssl-dev

There is a script to download and compile, e.g. on Raspberry Pi here: https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/blob/master/doc/libuvc_installation.md

To install pyrealsense2 at the same time as librealsense, line 46 of the 'libuvc_installation.sh' build script should be changed from this:

cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release

to this:

cmake ../ -DFORCE_LIBUVC=true -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS:bool=true

From MartyG-RealSense on a pose here: https://github.com/realsenseai/librealsense/issues/13373

Library and examples

This is an alternative to the script above.

cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git
cd librealsense
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j3
sudo make install

Copy udev rules to udev

sudo cp ~/git/librealsense/config/99-realsense*.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

All example commands start with rs-, e.g.:

rs-capture
rs-pointcloud

Intel Librealsense

Installing support for Intel librealsense.

sudo apt install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev
sudo apt-get install xorg-dev
cd git
git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git
cd librealsense
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

I also needed to install libusb-1.0-0-dev

sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

This path was not included in the CMakeLists.txt, so I added this line at the beginning of the CMakeLists.txt:

cd librealsense
nano CMakeLists.txt

add

include_directories( /usr/include/libusb-1.0/ )

like here:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

set( LRS_TARGET realsense2 )
project( ${LRS_TARGET} LANGUAGES CXX C )

# Allow librealsense2 and all of the nested project to include the main repo folder
set(REPO_ROOT ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
include_directories(${REPO_ROOT})
include_directories( /usr/include/libusb-1.0/ )

include(CMake/lrs_options.cmake)
include(CMake/connectivity_check.cmake)
...

D435 failed at reboot

The RealSense D435 is connected to a powered USB3 hub. The Raspberry is powered by a 5V supply through expansion pins. It is a default 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS:

$ cat /etc/os-release 
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian

The error

At times (after reboot), I can no longer enumerate RealSense devices, and I get:

$ rs-enumerate-devices

But lsusb finds the device

Solution

It seems to be a boot conflict of some sort, but resetting the USB seems to work.

From the usbutils package, run the command:

$ usbreset 8086:0b07
Resetting Intel(R) RealSense(TM) Depth Camera 435 ... ok

Then the device works again:

$ rs-enumerate-devices -s

Device Name Serial Number Firmware Version Intel RealSense D435 013222070878 5.17.0.10

In a script

If one Realsense only, then this will do

#!/bin/bash
DEVICE_ID=$(lsusb | grep "RealSense" | awk '{print $6}')
if [ -z "$DEVICE_ID" ]; then
    echo "Error: RealSense device not found."
else
    echo "RealSense Device ID found: $DEVICE_ID"
    usbreset $DEVICE_ID
fi

With more than one, then this is more appropriate:

#!/bin/bash
# Get all RealSense IDs into an array
mapfile -t DEVICE_IDS < <(lsusb | grep "RealSense" | awk '{print $6}')
# Check if any devices were found
if [ ${#DEVICE_IDS[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
    echo "No RealSense devices found."
    exit 1
fi
echo "Found ${#DEVICE_IDS[@]} RealSense device(s):"
# Loop through the array
for i in "${!DEVICE_IDS[@]}"; do
    ID="${DEVICE_IDS[$i]}"
    usbreset $ID
done
