Camera streaming failure

HI,

I am trying to set up AR0821 camera to stream in Xavier NX. Camera is connected to CSI2 port. Below are my changes in device tree:

#include <dt-bindings/media/camera.h>

remote-endpoint = <&liar0821_csi_out2>;
};
};
};
};

Can you let me know what’s wrong in my device tree change? Thank you

@SimonZhu
Could you provide some advice here? We are using AR0821 camera from LeopardImaging. Thanks.

@judy.wang
Could you provide the part# of the AR0821 camera? We have AR0821 camera with different interfaces.
Which NX carrier board are you using? Is it the same carrier board of Jetson Xavier NX Developer kit?

I bought the standard parts from OnSemi, AR0821CS: 8.3 Mp Rolling Shutter CMOS Digital Image Sensor
We are using our custom carrier board. We connect camera to CSI2 and CSI3

@SimonZhu Is there any update on this? Thank you

@judy.wang
For the “standard parts from OnSemi”, do you mean the camera is not from us? If it’s our camera, could you provide the part#? Can you take a picture about the entire camera kit if possible?
