Hi, if OAK-D works on your laptop and Pi 4 but not on Pi 5, it's likely power issue.

RPi 5 can only give 1.2A to USB ports. OAK-D can have power spikes (AI, video encoding), which cause brownout. Also, if other USB devices are connected, it makes it worse.

Try:

Remove other USB devices
Use simple pipeline
Power OAK-D from external source (barrel jack or Y-cable)
