Imx219 120fps on jetson orin nano

Hello, I am working with a Jetson Orin Nano and recently found out that the IMX219 camera can run at 120 FPS. As I am new to the Jetson platform, I am having trouble figuring out how to enable this mode. I understand that 120 FPS support is not available out-of-the-box, and that on JetPack 4.4 it can be enabled through manual configuration. Could you please clarify if a similar approach is possible on JetPack 6? Or are there fundamental differences that make this unfeasible on the newer platform? If this is achievable on JP6, could you kindly share any guides, documentation links, or step-by-step instructions on how to configure the IMX219 for 120 FPS capture?

Suppose Orin Nano only have 2 lanes HW design to have bandwidth to support 120fps.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply! Could you please share any instructions, guides, or materials that might help me achieve this?

You can download older driver copy the 120fps sensor mode for it.

Thanks

Do you have a link to download this version? I can’t find it

The link from here.

I don’t recall which version have it.

Have reference to below link.

Hello! I’m asking for your help again, as I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried following the instructions you sent, but I’m getting an error when building the kernel (mostly related to “-Werror”). Could this be because I’m trying to build kernel-4.9 (I can’t find the kernel-5.15 sources), but I have kernel 5.15 installed? Also, regarding previous versions of jetpack that have this mode: as far as I understand, it was supported in jetpack <= 4.4.1, but jetson orin nano supports jetpack >= 5.1. What can be done in this situation? My L4T: R36 (release), REVISION: 4.7, GCID: 42132812, BOARD: generic, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Thu Sep 18 22:54:44 UTC 2025

You don’t need to build the k4.9 but copy the 120fps sensor REG initial table and device tree to JP6 and build the JP6 only.

13

Thank you! So I need to copy the files from your link (imx219_mode_tbls.h) to my JP6, patch imx219_mode_tbls.h, add mode5 with 120fps to my tegra234-camera-rbpcv2-imx219.dtsi, and build JP6? How can I find the existing reg and dtsi on my JP6 and rebuild it?

You can download the JP6 source code to search the “imx219” in the dts.
