Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

Is there any way to run the older "Buster OS - Lite" on the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W? I have tried an SD image that has been working on the older zero W1 as well as burning a new SD image (Buster OS) and neither will boot--no LED, no sign of boot up.



I was hoping to use the rpi zero 2w as an improved version of an existing birdwatcher cam based on an rpi zero w(1) running motioneyeos. Unfortunately, the latest OS (bullseye) has abandoned the older camera implementation, replacing it with "libcamera". The entire Bullseye OS Lite has a very "beta" feel about it--at least on the RPI Zero.



TIA

Thanks for the link. I had seen that previously, but it looked like a ton of downloading and configuring. But since I had no alternative, I went through all of the steps. I see no way to get MotioneyeOS running, but I do have MotionEye up and running. It doesn't have the ability to FTP to my server, but I can probably put something together in C++ or Python to handle that since picamera seems to be intact. Also missing are the command line rastivid/still commands, but that's not a show stopper.

Thanks again.
