I cannot get my imx296 camera working on my Jetson Orin Nano Super

I am trying to set up the Global Shutter Camera from Inno-maker, which has an IMX 296 sensor. However, I cannot make it so that the /dev/video* detects anything. I am using Jetpack 6.2

hello ege.doganay03,

is the sensor device registration done?
please see-also Release Notes (r36.4.3) for [4.2. Device Registration].

Thank you for the help! This helped me to progress, however I am still having issues to run the camera. Do you have any suggestions on how to obtain proper drivers?

hello ege.doganay03,

since this is not supported by default.
you may see-also reference drivers to have implementation.

FYI,
please visit L4T page, for instance, NVIDIA Jetson Linux 36.4.3.
please download the BSP package, i.e. [Driver Package (BSP) Sources] to obtain the public release sources.
you’ll need to extract kernel_src.tbz2 and kernel_oot_modules_src.tbz2 package to obtain the sources of sensor kernel driver, and sensor device tree for reference.

let me taking Orin Nano’s reference camera, IMX219 as an example,
here’s sensor driver,
$public_sources/r36.4.3/Linux_for_Tegra/source/kernel_src/nvidia-oot/drivers/media/i2c/nv_imx219.c
and… here’s the path of IMX219 sensor device tree,
$public_sources/r36.4.3/Linux_for_Tegra/source/kernel_src/hardware/nvidia/t23x/nv-public/overlay/tegra234-camera-rbpcv2-imx219.dtsi

please submit another new discussion thread if you need further supports.

Hi again!
I was able to find the sensor drivers however I wasn’t able to find the sensor device tree. The directories you mentioned doesn’t exists in my download.

hello ege.doganay03,

may I know the L4T release version you’re working with?

I am working with 36.4.3

please extract kernel_oot_modules_src.tbz2, sensor device trees are under hardware folder. let me revise my previous comments as well.

Thank you!

Hi, I’m also thinking about using IMX296 camera with Orin, but before I start working on it, I would like to ask: Did you manage to make it work?
