Jetson Xavier NX and Jetvariety drivers

scherrera · July 4, 2020, 8:01pm

Hello!

I bought an “Arducam Complete High Quality Camera Bundle for Jetson Nano” kit hoping it would be valid for the Xavier NX, but it looks like the drivers available in https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/tree/master/Jetson/Jetvariety/driver do not include the kernel the NX is using. I am getting this error when trying to install the driver for tegra revision 4.2:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel: arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel depends on nvidia-l4t-kernel (= 4.9.140-tegra-32.4.2-20200428140713); however: Version of nvidia-l4t-kernel on system is 4.9.140-tegra-32.4.2-20200428141701.
dpkg: error processing package arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel (–install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel

Is there any solution available or plans to build a driver for this kernel version? Thank you very much in advance!

I am interested in this answer. I also have an Xavier NX and I am looking for a comprehensive camera solution.

The Jetson Xavier NX driver is under development. This work will be completed soon, please be patient.

Great news I look forward to it.

Thank you very much. I appreciate you are working on this.

Please let us know when you have a driver prototype. I’ll be glad to beta-test if it is helpful

Hi Everyone,

I saw that the driver was available for the Jetson Xavier NX (https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/tree/master/Jetson/Jetvariety/driver).

So I tested it with my AR1820HS and my IMX1335 !

But this is the picture I have :

Test AR1820HS

I also have changed the pixelformat (pixelformat(“BA10”)), but I can’t have a correct photo. Any idea ? Is it because of the driver ?

jimepnx · August 5, 2020, 1:32pm

so is accurate that you are selling a camera without functional drivers

pelepicier · August 7, 2020, 3:12am

Just to let you know : My last test was with Jetpack 4.4 release 32.4.3 (my previous post #26028), and the pictures were not good.

Today I tested the other driver with Jetpack 4.4 release 32.4.2 : when trying to see the cameras (v4l2-ctl --list-devices), no camera is available (I tested AR1820HS and IMX135, after reboot and checked the wire connexions).

Are there any updates to the status of a driver for Xavier NX?

Thanks,

When do you expect the drivers for B0220 and B0221 on the XAVIER NX to be available? B0223 is already available, right?

Hello,

Any update on this?

I have problems on getting work the camera bundle with Jetson Xavier NX dev. kit.

Regards.

Hi everyone, I’m very sorry I missed this post.
Now the driver of Jetson Xavier NX can be installed through the automatic installation script:
https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/tag/v0.0.2

However, the automatic installation script only supports L4T32.4.3 and above.

wong · November 25, 2020, 10:51pm

Hi @DrH

B0220 and B0221 and can be used in L4T32.4.4 version.
B0223 can be used in all versions provided.

Hi @jeslava

Can you describe the problem you encountered in detail?

wong · November 25, 2020, 10:55pm

Hi @pelepicier

Sorry again for the late reply,
Can you tell me what software you use to play it?
Can you try the example program we provide?

Hello Wong,

I am using B0267 and Jetson Xavier NX, here there is a description of my issue:

I am using B0267
Platform: Jetson Xavier NX
I am following this instructions: Camarray – Arducam 1MP Quadrascopic Camera Bundle Kit
The product worked on Raspberry Pi 3 and cable connections are OK.

The problem:

I am trying to use the quadrascopic camera bundle OV9281 with a Jetson Xavier NX development kit.

My sytem is R32 4.4 and my kernel is 4.9.140-tegra-32.4.4-2020102721332

I used this driver: https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/download/v0.0.1-nx/arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.4.4-20201027211332_arm64.deb

I am able to see /dev/video0 but no image is displayed.

My kernel boot log is:

[ 2.009968] arducam-csi2 9-000c: firmware version: 3
[ 2.010238] arducam-csi2 9-000c: Sensor ID: 0x0000

Could you please provide me some instructions/advises?

Hi @jeslava

From the boot log, the driver has correctly identified the camera.
Can you run the dmesg command after running the camera and send the output to me?
Also attach photos of your hardware connection.

giskard · December 31, 2020, 12:29am

I’ve installed the Jetson Xavier NX driver, but the camera doesn’t seem to be detected. It doesn’t appear in /dev/video*.

I’m using, arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.4.4-20201026143033_arm64.deb

The camera is a B0274, and I can hear the mechanical IR filter activating when I block the photosensor.

Here’s my dmesg (similar to jeslava’s):

Any suggestions for further troubleshooting?
