This repository is supposed to provide an easy installation for the patched Intel IPU6 camera drivers. I tested the installation on kernel 6.0.2-arch1-1.

All PKGBUILDs in this repository are taken from this comment on the Archlinux forums.

Run shell script install.sh to install all necessary packages and enable/start services. Make sure to reboot after a successfull installation.

Test your webcam by running script test.sh.

Run shell script uninstall.sh to disable/stop services and uninstall all previously installed packages.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to make the webcam available in web browsers and other electron-based applications out of the box.

However, this post on stack overflow mentions the a workaround for this (see Solution (long version) for more details):

sudo modprobe -r v4l2loopback
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1

NOTE: You probably need to stop v4l2-relayd.service before you try to unload the v4l2loopback module, otherwise you'll receive the following error:

modprobe: FATAL: Module v4l2loopback is in use.

Finally, you can test your setup in your browser.
