Jetson detecting IMX219 but shows me nothing

Hello, I recently bought a Jetson Nano, I managed to boot it but when I’m trying to test the camera IMX219 the terminal stops and there’s nothing happening.
I tried reflashing the nano, but that didn’t solve it. This is what the log is showing me when trying to test the camera with nvgstcapture 1.0:

After that nothing happens. I know that the camera is connected also wiith ls /dev/video*

nano@nano-desktop:~$ ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0

I thought that it could be a problem with the cable so I bought another cable and still nothing. I really don’t know what to do next if someone can help please.

hello cristi.sercaianu33,

you may try several ways to test the camera stream.
please see-also developer guide, Approaches for Validating and Testing the V4L2 Driver.
for example, please use V4L2 IOCTL to verify basic functionality.
