Arducam IMX477 UVC Camera Adapter not working with B01

I can’t get the Arducam IMX477 UVC and raspi hq camera to work with jet pack 4.5. /dev/video0 is present, but gestreamer (or any other application) can’t open the camera. The LED on the camera board is also not lid. Confined operation o camera and ardu board on other computer.
How can I get the Arducam IMX477 UVC board to work with jetson nano B01?

Suppose it’s USB camera right?
What command to verify it?

Thank you for the quick response.
Yes it is a usb camera.

I tried the following …

  • OpenCV 4.5
  • v4l2-ctl
  • cheese
  • ffmpeg
  • gst-device-monitor-1.0

on Mac and raspbian cv2.VideoCapture(0) just works out of the box.

On jetpack I get the following:

[ WARN:0@2.483] global cap_gstreamer.cpp (2076) handleMessage OpenCV | GStreamer warning: Embedded video playback halted; module v4l2src0 reported: Internal data stream error.

V4l2-ctl gets me the following:

Could you try below command.

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device="/dev/video0" ! 'image/jpeg,width=640,height=480' ! nvv4l2decoder mjpeg=1 ! nvvidconv !  'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),fromat=NV12' ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink

Thank you very much.
That work… I have no idea why (since I am a total noob)
But I can probably figure that out by my self.
This threat seems to be very helpful when trying to use gstreamer with opencv:
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/cannot-open-opencv-videocapture-with-gstreamer-pipeli

From this point on, I will try to resolve why cv2.videocapture does not work out of the box like on other platforms.
