Hi
Please stay tuned on this thread. Once we receive the camera driver for L4T 35.5.0, we will update the newest status here.

Do you have an estimated time when this driver update might arrive?
A time estimate would help planning our project needs so I can find alternative hardware supported by this kernel version if needed. Thanks

@Dion do you have any news on this? We are currently requiring 35.5.0 to work with imx477. Do you support it?

Hi @nxixixi
We took one more step forward :frowning:
We have skipped the 35.5.0 and are prepared to release the camera driver at 36.3.0.
If you are interested in the driver at this newer version, we could provide you with a beta driver.

Hi Dion, thanks for your quick answer. Is there any stable driver for 36.x? We need something that is stable because our units can be updated easily once they hit production. Please share me some drivers

Hi @nxixixi
Are you using the Jetson Xavier Nx or the Jetson Orin series?

@Dion Jetson Orin Series

Hi @nxixixi
Please check the imx477 camera driver for 36.3.0.

You can have the driver installed by the command below:

sudo dpkg -i arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel-t234-nx-5.15.136-tegra-36.3.0-20240521145743_arm64_imx477.deb

Hi Dion,

My original inquire was about a Xavier NX development board. I believe there is no planned update to L4T 36 for Xavier, and our application requires the last supported version (35.5.0) Would you be releasing drivers for 35.5.0 as well? Is there any beta version I can try?

Thanks

HI @jgmora

Sorry to tell you that we do not have a plan to release camera drivers for 35.5.0 on Jetson Nano/Nx for now.
