New control features and NVIDIA’s JetPack SDK 4.5.1 support

Our new Alvium CSI-2 camera driver v2.0 now supports NVIDIA JetPack 4.5.1 (L4T 32.5.1). With this single driver all Alvium CSI-2 cameras, currently 13 different image sensors and 6 more coming shortly, are directly supported. The driver supports the following Jetson developer kits and production modules: Jetson AGX Xavier™, Jetson Xavier™ NX, Jetson™ TX2, Jetson Nano™ (2GB/4GB). Support for TX2 NX will follow soon.

It also adds 2 new control features for V4L2: Control for ExposureActive Output signal and Control for min./max bounds for AutoExposure / AutoGain functions.

Build scripts and source code are available on https://github.com/alliedvision.com. We also provide precompiled binaries of the kernel on Github.com under Releases as well as SD card images for Nano 2GB/4GB and Xavier NX.
