JetPack 5.0.1 IMX477 not working

Hello everyone,

I have installed JetPack 5.0.1 Preview on Jetson Xavier NX, and was not able to get the IMX477 cameras running. I saw in here that I need to modify the device tree. But I do not understand how I can do that without flashing it again since I am new to this? Is there a solution to fix this without flashing it again? If so, I would be grateful if you can provide a guide on how to do this.

Thank you so much!

hello king_kaleb ,

you’re able to disassembler the dtb file into text file for modification,
$ dtc -I dtb -O dts -o temp.dts tegra194.dtb

after that, please convert the DTS into a new DTB file,
$ dtc -I dts -O dtb -o new-output.dtb temp.dts

Hi @JerryChang,

Thank you for the quick response. However, I was not able to find the tegra194-p3509-0000-a00.dtsi file. The closest file I could find was /boot/tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb. Can you please tell me where I can find the dts file I need to edit? or can you perhaps provide me a link where I can follow the exact steps to fix the issue?

Thank you so much!!

hello king_kaleb,

you may check /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf for FDT entry, it shows the device tree file you’re using.
usually the binary file is located at /boot/, please modify the binary file for testing. thanks

HI @JerryChang,

Thank you! The device tree file is /boot/dtb/kernel_tegra194-p3668-0000-p3509-0000.dtb. I have edited the file, converted it back to dtb and replaced it. However, it is still not working. I have uploaded the dts file here:
kernel_tegra194-p3668-0000-p3509-0000.dts (297.4 KB)

Thank you so much!!

hello king_kaleb,

please see-also Topic 215957 for the code snippets to enable IMX477 on JP-5.0

Hi @JerryChang,

Thank you! That was useful. I followed the instructions and also downloaded this file and replaced my dtb file. Now, running sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py does not work. It shows the gray screen and automatically closes.

Thank you for the continuous support!!

hello king_kaleb,

please setup a terminal and gather the kernel logs for reference,
thanks

Hi @JerryChang,

Sorry, I was not able to follow. Can you please elaborate more on how I can do that? Sorry for my ignorance on this.

Thank you!

I have viewed all the log files in /var/log/ but I couldn’t find anything relevant to jetson-io. Am I looking at a wrong location?

hello king_kaleb,

please running command, $ dmesg to gather kernel logs, you may also apply options, $ dmesg --follow to view kernel messages immediately.
Jetson-IO utility is under /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/, you may use the command $ sudo python jetson-io.py for running it.

Hi @JerryChang,

Thank you! The only error I could see in the log that’s relevant is the following:

and I get the following output when I run cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip | grep IMX:

Nothing is added to the log after running the jetson-io.py.

hello king_kaleb,

according to above, system level still trying to detect IMX219 camera sensors.
please review the device tree sources, tegra194-p3509-0000-a00.dtsi, had you removing the IMX219 sensor DTSI file from the main DTS file?

Hi @JerryChang,

I don’t have the file tegra194-p3509-0000-a00.dtsi in /boot. Is it stored somewhere else?
The files I edited were /boot/dtb/kernel_tegra194-p3668-0000-p3509-0000.dtb and /boot/tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb. I have restored the original files but still it doesn’t work.

Thank you!

hello king_kaleb,

JetPack 5.0.2 is now available, it’s the production release and we’ll deprecated l4t-r34.1.1 developer preview soon.
please access JetPack SDK 5.0.2 | NVIDIA Developer to download the latest NVIDIA JetPack SDK. thanks

Hi @JerryChang,

That’s great! Do I have to flash it again and loose my files or can I just install only JetPack runtime components?

Thank you!

hello king_kaleb,

currently, l4t-r34.x is supported with OTA update uses Debian packages obtained from an NVIDIA APT server. this OTA update approach will keep your user-space contents.
please also refer to developer guide, Over-the-Air Update, thanks

Hi @JerryChang,

I tried to update it following the guide, but it doesn’t even boot now. I even tried to flash it again but it got stuck at 99% of flashing!

Is there any chance I can get it back to where it was? or flash it successfully?

Thank you!

hello king_kaleb,

is it just stuck there, may I know what’s the messages show-up?
please also setup serial console to gather the logs for reference,
thanks

Hi @JerryChang,

I just flashed it with JetPack 4.6 and it is working now.

Thanks!
