Hello NVIDIA Team,

I’m working with a Jetson platform (T194 - likely Jetson Xavier NX) running L4T 35.4.1 (kernel 5.10.120), and I’m trying to install the Arducam IMX477 driver package provided by Arducam:
arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel-t194-5.10.120-tegra-35.4.1-20230807062426_arm64_imx477.deb

When I run the installation command:
sudo dpkg -i arducam-nvidia-l

I am getting below error:
nvidia@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i arducam-nvidia-l4t-kernel-t194-5.10.120-tegra-35.4.1-20230807062426_arm64_imx477.deb

hello rahulnagar,

we did not support IMX477 on Jetson AGX Xavier by default.

it must be the compatible issues, please contact with sensor vendor for further supports.

Dear Jerry

Sorry for mistake. Currently I am using Jetson Xavier NX board and connected Arducam IMX477 based camera. Please check this and do needful.

hello rahulnagar,

you may use Jetson-IO for Configuring the CSI Connector to select IMX477.

BTW,

I assume this is driver sources package, which should based-on ubuntu desktop to compile the sources.
you should visit Jetson Linux 35.4.1 | NVIDIA Developer to download [Driver Package (BSP) Sources], see-also developer guide, Kernel Customization for reference.

Dear Team

I am following document mentioned in above response. When I am executing below command. 1 UI appear and crashes immediately.
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py

hello rahulnagar,

let me have clarification,
Jetson-IO it works with developer kit only. it’s a sample how developer kit to Configuring the CSI Connector (by loading the *.dtbo file) to select IMX477.
