+## Libcamera Setup
+The upstream libcamera package in Arch Linux ARM (as of August 2025) has
+compatibility issues with the Raspberry Pi kernel, preventing detection of
+official camera modules. Until this is resolved upstream, you'll need to build
+the Raspberry Pi Foundation's supported version:
+```console
+user@alarm$ sudo pacman -S boost cmake gcc git libdrm libexif libjpeg libpng libtiff meson pkgconf python-jinja python-ply python-yaml
+user@alarm$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/libcamera
+user@alarm$ cd libcamera
+user@alarm$ meson setup build -Dprefix=/usr
+user@alarm$ ninja -C build
+user@alarm$ sudo ninja -C build install
+```
