@yqchau

Sorry, the latest system is not supported yet.

Hey @Edward, are there any plans to add support for the latest Jetpack in the near future?

@yqchau

It is planned, but the priority is not high at present. I don’t recommend waiting for our update. I suggest using it on the old version, which is more stable in comparison.


I get the similar problem, this occurred from jetpack unsupported too?
L4T 32.7.3 / JetPack 4.6.3 / Xavier NX


I’ve tried the different version (reinstall using SDK) but it still occurred.
L4T 32.7.2 / JetPack 4.6.2 / Xavier NX / IMX519

@Wipop

Are you using the official carrier board?

Nope, Yahboom’s jetson xavier dev kit.

Update: Now I can install the driver (reach the reboot step without error report). I need to reinstall Jetpack to [L4T 32.7.2 / JetPack 4.6.2] and not transfer the system to SSD (do all in eMMC, found the issue from Camera driver can't installed on jetson NX) and don’t use apt-upgrade that will cause L4T upgraded to 32.7.3.
But Xavier still cant find IMX519 (It found only IMX219).

@Wipop

Sorry, all our support is now only implemented on the official development kit. If you use a third-party kit, it is likely that the bottom plate was made by the third party itself, which may not be usable.

Generally, third-party backplanes will support imx219 and imx477 by default (not necessarily)

We also have no way to support third-party backplanes, there are too many, and we don’t have the energy to support us in doing so.

Okay, thanks for your support.

@Wipop

Thank you for considering our camera.

If you plan to use it for a project, we offer corresponding services to support your needs.

Please feel free to contact [email protected] if you require further assistance.

I have more little question. What affects the camera(IMX519) to work on the official carrier board but not the other third-party board? I2C Switch, PCB Trace, or anything else?

@Wipop

It’s all possible, our device tree is adapted according to the official backplane. The device tree is a description of the hardware. A slight difference in hardware may render the camera unusable.

I can’t judge the hardware information of your carrier board at present, you need to study their manual.
