Camera not working with Jetson Nano

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

Relative Linux noob here so please be gentle.

The AR0234CS camera from OpenNCC (I would post a link to it but apparently I’m not allowed) isn’t working on our Jetson Nano. Other cameras work, even other cameras connected to port 1 while the AR0234CS is on port 0 (and vice-versa).

v4l sees it:

$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
vi-output, imx219 7-0010 (platform:54080000.vi:0):
	/dev/video0

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext

But simple_camera.py throws errors:

Been at this for hours now but nothing I’ve found on Google is helping. Even did a system update in case anything was out-of-date - no dice.

Any help is appreciated.

Does v4l2-ctl capture without problem?

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-count=100 -d /dev/video0

Nope, no capture. Just sits there until I hit Ctrl-C.

Enable the debug print in csi2_fops.c to check the error by dmesg after run the v4l2-ctl … command.

Hi Shane, thanks for the help, but we heard from the board manufacturer and it turns out we need to write our own drivers for it. This isn’t something we have the expertise to do, so we’re returning the camera and looking for a new one (one that comes with drivers). Again, thanks for your help, and sorry to bother you.
