Error installing IMX477 driver on Jetson Orin Nano with kernel 5.15.148-tegra

Hi everyone, I’m stuck trying to install the IMX477 driver on my Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit. The installer runs for a bit then dies with this:

Cannot find the corresponding deb package, please send the following information to [email protected]

I’m not sure if it’s a network thing or something with the board. Anyone else seen this?

Hey, that message comes from the Arducam install script when it can’t match a deb package to your kernel/board combo. Can you post your kernel version and the exact Jetson model? Quick way:

uname -r
cat /proc/device-tree/model

Sure, here’s what I’ve got:

  • Problem: error while installing IMX477 driver
  • Kernel version: 5.15.148-tegra-36.4.0-20240912212859
  • Jetson type: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit

Thanks, that helps. That kernel string maps to L4T 36.4.0 (JetPack 6.x). The installer throwing “Cannot find the corresponding deb package” usually means the JetPack version on the board isn’t in the supported list for the IMX477 driver package, so there’s no matching deb to download.

Can you do two things:

  1. Check your actual JetPack version against the officially supported list here: Introduction to Arducam Jetson Cameras - Arducam Wiki
  2. Send pictures of your Jetson Nano, both back and front, so we can confirm the board revision.

Got it. I opened the page but I’m not totally sure how to map my install to the supported versions. I’ll take the photos of the board tonight. In the meantime, is there a way to double check the JetPack version from the command line? I want to make sure I’m reading it right before I re-run anything.

To wrap up where this stands: the “Cannot find the corresponding deb package” error comes from the installer not finding a matching deb for kernel 5.15.148-tegra-36.4.0-20240912212859 on the Orin Nano. That’s typically because the installed JetPack version isn’t in the supported list for the IMX477 driver. The workaround right now is to verify your JetPack version against the supported list here: Introduction to Arducam Jetson Cameras - Arducam Wiki and make sure it matches a supported version before running the installer again. Please also share the front/back board pictures so we can confirm the exact board. If your JetPack version turns out to be unsupported, that would explain the failure and you’d need a supported JetPack to proceed.
