Arducam IMX477 RPI HQ Camera driver for Jetson Orin-NX Photon carrier boards

Nvidia Jetson Cameras

Hi everyone. We’re trying to get the Arducam IMX477 RPI HQ Camera working on an Nvidia Jetson Orin-NX mounted on a Photon series carrier board. The Arducam site lists the IMX477 as supported with the Jetson Orin series, but I’m having trouble finding a driver that actually works with our carrier board. Does anyone know where I can get the reference driver for the IMX477 on this setup?

Just bumping this - haven’t heard anything back yet. We specifically need the reference driver for the IMX477 with the Jetson Orin-NX. Since the website says the camera model is supported with the Orin series, I expected a driver to be available. Any update would be appreciated.

Sorry for the delay on this. To clarify the situation: the IMX477 is supported on the Jetson Orin series, but for a third-party carrier board like the Photon series we can only provide the source code, not a prebuilt driver image. Let me check what we have for this combination and get back to you.

I’ve looked into it. We can only provide source code for a third-party carrier board - that’s the path for the Photon series with the Orin-NX. I have sent the source code package to you through private message. Please check your messages and let me know if it arrives, and we can go from there.

Thanks, I saw your message. Quick update on our end: we actually have a few IMX277 cameras that were obtained from Arducam, and we’re unable to get them working with our board. Can you send over the source code for the driver? If support or sales sees this first, please just provide the source code so we can proceed.

Just to confirm - the source code we provide is for third-party carrier boards like the Photon series, which matches your setup. I’ve re-sent the package through private message, so please check your inbox. One thing to clarify: the earlier discussion was about the IMX477, but your last message mentions IMX277 cameras. Can you confirm which sensor you actually have on hand? That will affect which driver source is relevant. For now, check your messages for the package and let me know if anything is missing.
