Intel RealSense D435i Not Detected on Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 6.0 and SDK Version 2.55.1

[karonskali]

Hello,

I’m having trouble using the Intel RealSense D435i camera with my Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit running JetPack 6.0. I downloaded and installed the RealSense SDK (version 2.55.1) following the recommended steps, and I can open the RealSense Viewer successfully. However, the camera is not being detected by the RealSense Viewer.

Here’s a summary of my setup:

Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit
JetPack 6.0
RealSense SDK version 2.55.1
Intel RealSense D435i

Things I’ve tried:

• Verified that the camera works on another device, so the hardware is functioning.
• Ran lsusb and dmesg, and the camera shows up in the device list, indicating that the system is recognizing the USB device.
• Ran ‘rs-enumerate-devices’ and got ‘no device detected’
• Reinstalled the RealSense SDK multiple times, but the camera still isn’t detected by the RealSense Viewer.

Has anyone faced similar issues with JetPack 6.0 or the Jetson Orin Nano? Are there any specific steps or patches required to get the RealSense D435i working?

I would appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting tips to resolve this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please check

D435i has IMU sensor and please check the vendor’s guidance to enable kernel driver.

I tried the code from the forum you shared, but when I attempt to run it, I encounter issues.

./scripts/setup_udev_rules.sh

im getting this error:

I resolved the issue by switching to a superuser (using sudo). After that, everything ran smoothly. However, I’m still unable to get the camera to work

i don’t get any thing when i run
$rs-enumerate-devices
