Argus does not detect sensors

lvjianming1 · August 2, 2025, 4:01am

I have a commercial carrier board for AGX orin with 1 sensor camera port，sensor is imx219. I’m using Jetpack 36.3
V4L2 works well，but Argus does not detect sensors。

Looks like your device tree still keep like JP5.

Doesn’t see your camera from your device tree dump.

The address looks like incorrect. The slave address should be 9-0010 instead of 9-001.
Maybe modify the z_imx219_96717_a{} to z_imx219_96717_a@10 {}

hi，
this is GMSL camera，sensor：imx219，serializer：MAX96717，Deserializer：MAX96712

ShaneCCC · August 6, 2025, 5:31am

Suppose the slave address should be 0x10 but it shows 0x01 in the Name item.

What’s the dmesg show the slave address?

sudo dmesg | grep -i imx219

lvjianming1 · August 6, 2025, 6:27am

hi，

ShaneCCC · August 6, 2025, 6:32am

This message shows the device slave address is 0018 on bus 9.

lvjianming1 · August 6, 2025, 6:37am

How should I modify the dtsi？

ShaneCCC · August 6, 2025, 6:48am

Confirm the slave address then make sure modify all of the z_imx219_96717_a modify to z_imx219_96717_a@18
