Orin NX 16GB CSI Camera not working (IMX219)

Hi! Just got my brand-new Orin NX with the CSI camera, which doesn’t seem to work. I tried different configs, but can’t get it working. I see there’s something about gpio-394 (camera-control-output-low): hogged as output/low any ideas what that means or how to fix this? Thanks!

Did you run jetson-io to enable the IMX219 ?

4

Yes, I tried all possible combinations

Any message about imx219?

sudo dmesg | grep -i imx219

Yes, there appears to be an issue:

This error message tell the i2c communication error with imx219.
It could be the HW like cable problem.
Please reconnect the camera or verify the HW by another Orin NX to confirm.

Thanks
