IMX477 not detected by Third Party Carrier Boards for Jetson Orin NX 8gb

[jose.holassian]

Hi, I was using until last year a Jetson TX2 NX with CSI IMX219 cameras, but as we needed more resolution we decided to switch to the Orin NX 8GB as they natively supported the IMX477.
I am a newbie, please excuse my ignorance, but none of my 2 carrier boards (the dsboard-ornx from FORECR and recomputer j4011 from seeed studio) have been able to detect any of the IMX477 cameras I have from Arducam (SKU B0251 and B0279).

I’ve tried installing Arducam Kernell driver (it installed but no camera detection) and try this How to install imx477 driver in Jetson Orin - #4 by Eldho_K_K with no luck either.

when I do sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py

I select this option and then I’ve tried every option here…

Thanks in advance!

Maybe you need to confirm the able to communicate by I2C command first.
And check if the device tree be configure correct by “sudo dmesg | grep -i imx477”

Thanks

This is what I get…

This message tell the I2C failed. That could be the HW problem or HW design different with reference IMX477 sensor board.

I’ve tried them on my Jetson nano and I get the same…

I have 4 IMX477 all of them from arducam (B0251 and B0279)…

Here it is the solution after talking to @Eldho_K_K

"…That was It!!! jajajajaj thats so embarrasing… To my defense, every other camera sensor that I have connects the other way around:

so the correct way is like this… 🙈

Thank you so much!!!"
