OV7251 Camera: Configuring the Software for the JetVariety board

Hello Arducam,

When I configure the software for Arducam OV7251 MIPI camera module with JetVariety board on Jetson Nano, I need your support:

I have done these things.
Install v4l using this command: sudo apt install v4l-utils
I then git cloned this repo: https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera.git

This is where I am unsure where to go.
Looking in this directory:
~/MIPI_Camera/Jetson/Jetvariety

I see that there is a directory for drivers. I think I saw somewhere in the documentation that I need to install a driver to get this thing to work.

Looking at the contents of this directory, I see these files:

driver$ ls
arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.3.1-20200325151719_arm64.deb arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.3.1-20200509173033_arm64.deb arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.4.2-20200520093606_arm64.deb
arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.3.1-20200331173033_arm64.deb arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel_4.9.140-32.3.1-20200630085524_arm64.deb

Which one do I install?
Running the “uname -a” command, I get this output:
4.9.140-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 25 21:25:44 PDT 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux
I am not sure I have enough information to choose which one to run. Which one is the most up-to-date that is most compatible?
I should also point out that “ls /dev | grep video” does not show a video device, but I think that is because I have not installed the driver as mentioned above.
After the driver is installed, what else do I have to do to get the examples under “MIPI_Camera/Jetson/Jetvariety/example” to run?

I greatly appreciate your support.

 

P.S.

This is an example of your empty documentation pages, btw. There is literally no text provided.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, this is the driver installation document for the Jetvariety series.

This chapter describes which driver you should install.
