Hi,
I have a camera module Arducam AR0234 installed on Jetson Orin nano Super 8GB. The camera was not developed with it’s own ISP, according to what the supplier says, so I am not able to get a color video in real-time but only grayscale.
My task is to run my own trained model for object detection in real-time so, I’d like to ask you, is there a solution/ recommended software to make my camera run with my Jetson? Do I just have to change the camera? Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Most raw MIPI-CSI sensors (like many AR0234 modules) don’t include their own ISP. If you install a V4L2-only driver (e.g. Arducam’s Jetvariety), you’ll get raw Bayer frames and unless you run a software debayer you’ll see grayscale. To get real-time color with hardware acceleration on Jetson, the sensor/driver must work with NVIDIA’s Argus stack (Jetson’s built-in ISP). Jetvariety explicitly states it outputs raw without ISP; users must provide software ISP themselves.
At RidgeRun we can help you with your driver integration. Please let me know if you have any question or comment.
It shouldn’t be anymore, new camera B0579(AR0234 ISP) will arrive soon and tested. If any issue will accour, I am going to share it with you. Thank you for your support.
