Imx219_board_setup: error during i2c read probe (-121)

[jankimandviya]

Hello,
I am trying to use Raspberry pi camera v2 which has IMX219 sensor. I am using Jetpack 6.0.
Earlier when i connected this camera with Jetson Orin nano 8GB kit. It worked perfectly. But suddenly , now it is not being detected by Jetson Orin nano.
I am getting following dmesg logs when camera is boot up.

I am in the condition in which i can not re-flash the Jetpack to solve this issue. It will remove all of my important project requirement installations and setups and i don’t have enough time to re install everything. Please help me fix this issue without suggesting re flashing the Jetpack.

What did you do, apt update?? If not then it has to be a hardware issue.
Are the cables seated, try a different CAM.

Change your overlay and try the other port, the i2c might have died. If you did not update anything I would point my finger at hardware.

Typically, when you have a major issue like that I get out another board and load it up and would test the peripheral to eliminate that as a problem.

Scan the bus and make sure the cam is detected. If memory is correct it was on chip7 ?? The board is at my other office so this is from memory.

I didn’t update or upgrade the system. But i was getting this error so i tried updating and upgrading it. Still same issue. I tried on the other port as well but still didn’t work.
And i tested this peripheral on raspberry pi 4. I got following results.

Your camera is dead or the cable. I know from first hand fact the imx219 works with libcamera on the Pi5. Not sure about pi4 we don’t do much with their boards. If those commands are specifically for the pi4 then I would say with high confidence your camera is dead.
Make sure your overlay is loaded on both boards.

I changed the cable and it worked.
Thanks!
