[D131 Carrier Board] CSI Camera Compatibility and Pinout Confusion for Jetson Orin NX

Hello NVIDIA Community,

I am experiencing issues getting CSI cameras to work on the AverMedia D131 Carrier Board with the Jetson Orin NX 16GB module. I would like to confirm the compatibility of my camera hardware and clarify the pinout requirements for the CSI connector.

System Configuration:

  • Module: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB

  • Carrier Board: AverMedia D131 (Rev 1.0)

  • JetPack Version: 6.2

  • OS: Linux for Tegra (L4T)

Camera Hardware Tested:
I have the following Raspberry Pi compatible camera modules available:

  1. Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 (Sony IMX219 sensor)

  2. Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera (Sony IMX477 sensor)

The Issue:
When I connect these cameras to the D131’s CSI connector (J10/J11 - 15-pin FPC connector), the system does not detect them. Running ls /dev/video* returns no devices.
However, I have verified that both cameras function correctly on a standard Raspberry Pi 4 using the same ribbon cables.

Questions:

  1. Pinout & Cable Type:
    The D131 manual mentions a “15-pin CSI connector.” Does this connector follow the standard Raspberry Pi CSI-2 pinout?
    Specifically, does the carrier board require a specific FFC cable type (Type A vs. Type B / Key A vs. Key B) or cable orientation? I suspect there might be a pinout mismatch (flip) between the D131 connector and the standard Raspberry Pi camera ribbon cable.

  2. Sensor Compatibility (IMX219 / IMX477):
    Are the IMX219 and IMX477 sensors supported natively on the D131 carrier board with the standard JetPack BSP?
    Do I need to apply a specific device tree overlay or use the jetson-io tool to enable these sensors specifically for the D131? If so, are there specific .dtbo files provided by AverMedia?

  3. I2C Detection:
    I tried scanning the I2C buses (i2cdetect), but I could not find the camera sensor address (typically 0x10 for IMX219 or 0x1a for IMX477). This suggests a physical connection issue or I2C bus mismatch. Which I2C bus ID corresponds to the CSI connector on the D131?

Any guidance on cable orientation or driver configuration for this carrier board would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

hello kaymazyakuperkan,

FYI,
these two cameras were compatible with Jetson Orin Developer Kit.
you may toggle the Jetson-IO for Configuring the CSI Connector to enable the supports.

however, since it’s customize board.

Jetson-IO doesn’t works, please contact with the vendor for related configuration.
