Hi everyone. I’m trying to install the IMX219 camera module driver on my Jetson AGX Orin following the Arducam quick start guide, but I keep hitting a kernel error during the install. Has anyone run into this before?
Sorry to hear that. Could you share the exact error and let me know which L4T/JetPack version you’re running? That will help narrow this down.
Sure, here’s the error I’m getting:
I’m on JetPack 5.1 / L4T 35.2.1 as far as I can tell, and I was following this guide:
Thanks, that screenshot confirms it. The IMX219 driver has not been released for L4T 35.2.1, which is why the kernel portion of the install is failing. You’ll need to reflash your JetPack version to one that’s on the supported list.
Check this page and pick a supported release that includes IMX219:

Okay, I reflashed to a supported version like you suggested. The imx477 driver installs fine now, but the imx219 driver still fails with a different error. Here’s the new screenshot:
So imx477 works, imx219 does not.
Got it, so IMX477 installs cleanly but IMX219 is still failing. Can you confirm which L4T version you’re on now after reflashing? I want to make sure I get you the right package.
I’m on L4T 35.4.1 now, kernel 5.10.120-tegra, on the AGX Orin (t234).
That matches what I was expecting. I’ve sent you a .deb package through private message that should match your setup — please check your messages and download it.
Once you have it, run:
sudo dpkg -i arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel-t234-agx-orin-5.10.120-tegra-35.4.1-20230927160236_arm64_imx219.deb
Thanks, I ran that dpkg command and this time it installed without the previous error. I’m going to test the camera now and will report back.
Sounds good. For reference, that package targets L4T 35.4.1 (kernel 5.10.120-tegra) for the Jetson AGX Orin (t234) with IMX219 support, which is why it should line up with your current setup. Let us know how the camera test goes.
