How to set up the OV13855 camera?

[ScheglyakStas]

I'm using an Orange Pi 5 Pro with the latest version of your Ubuntu 24.04 Server installed.
I have connected an OV13855 camera to the CAM1 MIPI connector. However, the camera is not detected (no dev/video0 device). The Rockchip camera engine was installed by default.
Is there an overlay I need to enable for the camera to work?

Thank you. I have connected the camera to the CAM2 connector and enabled the corresponding overlay (orangepi-5-ov13855-c2.dtbo).

The following video devices appear:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
rkisp-statistics (platform: rkisp):
        /dev/video18
        /dev/video19

rkcif-mipi-lvds (platform:rkcif-mipi-lvds):
        /dev/media0

rkisp_mainpath (platform:rkisp0-vir0):
        /dev/video11
        /dev/video12
        /dev/video13
        /dev/video14
        /dev/video15
        /dev/video16
        /dev/video17
        /dev/media1

Failed to open /dev/video0: No such device

As far as I understand, the camera is supposed to be /dev/video11.
However, this device cannot be played via ffmpeg - the following output appears:

Nothing happens after running it. No errors, just no output of any kind.
In addition, dmesg | grep -i ov13855 outputs the following:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | grep -i ov13855

@katafoxi Could you please look at my latest comment? The script does nothing.
