I am using RPI v3 IMX477 Camera Sensor using the v4l2 camera driver to control the camera settings like exposure, white balance, etc. When I connected the camera with the Raspberry Pi, it shows a list a many configurable parameters as shown below for User Controls, Codec Controls, Camera Controls:

But now, when I removed the suggested register from the camera to connect it with Jetson Nano, and run the same command to see the configurable options, there are very less options as shown in the below Image: Camera Controls. Even the Camera controls are not as many as I got on the Rpi.
As you can see, I am left with very less configurable options. I’ve installed all the drivers/patches for the Jetson nano w.r.t. IMX477 following the link:
imx477-how-to-install-the-driver
How can I get these settings back in Jetson Nano, I can get them on Raspberry Pi easily without doing much.
Thanks
