  1. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?

Checked continuity on all tracks on the cable, tried all 8 cameras on both CAM0 and CAM1 ports, with and without a multiplexer between it.

  1. What help do you need?

So an accident happened a while ago where a faulty cable made a short somewhere in a Jetson Orin Nano. The cable connected the Jetson with one of the camarray multiplexers with only one camera connected. I replaced the jetson with a brand new one, however cameras are not detected. This is without any multiplexers, and using different cables and cameras that were not connected during the accident.

As such, I highly doubt that the cameras are faulty. However, no matter the combination of cameras, cables and ports, I cannot get the cameras to detect. I have reflashed + installed the IMX519 drivers twice. This is the output from running my gstreamer command and checking if any video devices are detected:

avi@avi-desktop:~$ ls /dev/video*

See dmesg output above. How can I confirm if it’s the cameras that area somehow faulty or if there is a potential software issue? I have checked many times cables and connections, nothing is loose, shorted or otherwise damaged.
