  1. Where did you get the camera module(s)?
    UCtronics

  2. Model number of the product(s)?
    B0273: Arducam 12MP IMX477 Motorized Focus High Quality Camera for Jetson Nano/Xavier NX

  3. What hardware/platform were you working on?
    Jetson Xavier NX

  4. Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
    Two cameras installed to Xavier NX on custom board. Using the Arducam drivers installed from https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/download/v0.0.3/install_full.sh

  5. Problems you were having?
    Cameras work, but not sure how to enable sync

We are using two of the IMX477 camera modules to implement a stereo depth system. To get accurate stereo depth maps, we need the cameras to be in sync. I see an older driver allows for syncing ( Sync Multiple IMX477 High Quality Camera over Multiple Jetson Nano Master slave - YouTube), but this driver is not supported on the most recent JetPack. How do you enable syncing via XVS on the current driver? Is there another way of synchronizing frames with this hardware setup?

We will eventually need to enable FSTROBE too for a strobe lighting system to avoid blur. How can this be set up?

thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, we do not continue to maintain the master/slave mode driver, because it has some instability, if you want to adapt it yourself, you can contact [email protected], we can provide the source code of the old version.
