Error: imx219 7-0010: imx219_board_setup:error during i2c read probe(-121)

hi, I’m working with jetson nano and after installing the GTK GUI library, I wrote reboot to the terminal and the following window appeared, please tell me how to solve this problem

Hello @danon.pankratov03,

The imx219 camera driver seems to have issue finding the camera sensors.

Can you please verify the cameras are properly connected to the board?

Also, were the cameras working as expected before?

I haven’t worked with cameras at this stage: I just wrote the code in C to check the UART’s performance, and then decided to make a graphical interface to this code, and when downloading GTK and rebooting, this error came out

Hello @danon.pankratov03,

Thanks for getting back with further details.

If you don’t have cameras connected into your board, then that error is expected.
That is because by default the NVIDIA Jetson loads the imx219 camera driver, which tries to find imx219 cameras connected into the board. Since there are no cameras connected, it shows that error message.

That being said, the error should not cause issues when it comes to normal operation of the system, like booting for example.

Now, allow me to ask a few questions:

  1. Are you experiencing any issues that you think might be associated with the error message?
  2. Would you like to simply remove the driver to avoid that error showing?
  3. Aside from that error message, is your board functioning as expected?
