AIY vision bonnet not working with HQ Camera

[13bit]

I'm trying to connect a Raspberry Pi high quality camera to my AIY vision bonnet, but I'm getting several errors when running the examples. The camera will not take a picture with raspistill when connected to the vision bonnet, but raspistill works just fine when the camera is connected directly to the Pi Zero. I've verified the command line image capture behavior on the Google-provided image as well as on a fresh Raspbian Bullseye image.

So, the camera and ribbon cable seem to be fine, and I can only assume the problem is with the vision bonnet.

Has anyone had any success using the HQ camera? I'm not sure at this point whether there's some configuration or software package I need to get it to work, or if it's just an incompatible device. Is this possible to do, or am I out of luck?

For reference, here is the error trace when running image_classification_camera.py:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The AIY vision bonnet only supports the v2 camera. Everything else is not compatible.

Thanks -- I was afraid that was the case.
