Detailed steps to get Raspberry Pi IMX296 camera working with Orin Nano

Hi. I read a now closed thread here about how to start with porting over the IMX219 and extend/compile to get the IMX296 working. However, the thread went cold. Kind of felt like that is something ChatGPT should be able todo. It did but I don’t trust the results and wanted to manually create and register a new driver. The global shutter aspect is what I’m really needing so want to make this one work.

I have my nv_imx219.c and tegra234-camera-rbpcv2-imx219.dtsi from the correct public_sources.tbz2. I am using JetPack 6.2.1 (L4T R36.4.4, Kernel 5.15.148-tegra) I also have the datasheet for the camera.

after reading Sensor Software Driver Programming — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation

I am thinking about starting with Direct V4L2 Interface as a starting point if that makes things any easier. I’ll need some guidance.

hello jcs1999,

you may see-also tutorials page for the training slides, [Develop a V4L2 Sensor Driver] for camera driver development.

Thanks for the docs. Definitely helps get the procedures down. now it looks like Sony does not want to give out the real datasheet as it looks like they only give it to suppliers. I doubt there is sufficient information to complete the necessary device parameters. I guess I’ll just go with an e-CAM instead, being orin nano compatible for the recent builds.
