Jetson Orin NX 32GB driver support for Arducam 64MP IMX686 camera

Hello NVIDIA Jetson team,

I would like to check the driver feasibility for using an Arducam 64MP IMX686 PDAF/CDAF autofocus camera on Jetson Orin NX 32GB.

This camera is currently marketed for Raspberry Pi, but we would like to evaluate whether it can be supported on Jetson.

My questions are:

  1. Is there any existing Jetson driver support for the Sony IMX686 / Arducam 64MP camera?
  2. Can an existing 12MP / 16MP MIPI camera driver be reused as a reference, or is a new IMX686-specific driver required?
  3. What are the minimum files needed to enable this camera on Jetson? For example, sensor driver, device tree, mode table, and V4L2 controls.
  4. Should we contact Arducam or a Jetson Camera Partner for the correct driver package?

Our target platform is Jetson Orin NX 32GB, and we plan to use JetPack 6.x.

Thank you.

Based on the provided context, I could not find clear support for the Sony IMX686 / Arducam 64MP camera driver on Jetson Orin NX 32GB. However, I can provide some general information about camera support on Jetson platforms.

The Jetson platform supports various camera interfaces, including MIPI CSI-2, USB, and Ethernet. The platform also has a list of partner-supported cameras, which can be found in the Jetson Partner Supported Cameras documentation.

Regarding the reuse of existing camera drivers, it is possible to use an existing driver as a reference, but a new IMX686-specific driver may be required. The minimum files needed to enable a camera on Jetson typically include a sensor driver, device tree, mode table, and V4L2 controls.

If you are looking for a driver package for the Arducam 64MP camera, you may want to contact Arducam or a Jetson Camera Partner for assistance. Additionally, you can also refer to the RidgeRun V4L2 drivers for NVIDIA Jetson, which may provide some guidance on implementing a custom camera driver.

Please note that the provided context does not specifically mention the Sony IMX686 / Arducam 64MP camera, and therefore, I could not provide a definitive answer to your question.

  1. No, need implement new driver for it.
  2. No, implement new driver for it.
  3. You can use any of reference driver like imx219/imx477 as template to implement it.
  4. Yes, you may need the REG config for the driver.
