Driver and compatibility for Sony IMX cameras

[ttvexcv]

Hi, I’m looking to build a basic stereo-vision system for a Jetson Orin NX board.

System specifications :

• Jetson Orin NX 16GB
• Ubuntu 20.4
• 5.10.04-tegra
• Jetpack-5.1

I have the following options to buy, can you confirm that the following cameras will be compatible with my system ?

• IMX219
• IMX477

NVIDIA’s partner cameras are listed here but I wanted to know if the ones I listed are compatible, as not everything is available from my supplier.

These cameras will be used for object detection and depth estimation, so I’d love to hear your advice.

hello ttvexcv,

there’re built-in driver to support with Raspberry pi v2, imx219, and Raspberry pi v3, imx477 by default.
you may using Jetson-IO utility to configure CSI connector to enable those camera drivers.
please also aware the Jetson Orin Nano carrier board it includes two 22-pin camera connector.
you may see-also Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit Carrier Board Specification for more details.

IMX219/IMX477 they’re separate cameras,
there’re some software samples for your reference, i.e. Argus/public/samples/syncStereo or syncSensor/
however, it’s better to have hardware pin, (i.e. FSYNC) for frame synchronization between two camera sensors.
you may also looking for cameras with depth/stereo functions, for instance, https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-partner-supported-cameras?t1_depth-sensor=Stereo&t1_supported-jetson-products=Orin
