I am trying to have IMX219 cameras working on Jetson Orin NX on a custom carrier board and Jetpack 5.1.2. The relevant dmesg outputs are as follows:

I can see that CAM0_PWDN is low and the camera is turned on when I trigger the same pin HIGH with a jumper.
To make the pin high by kernel at the boob, I tried to change a part of kernel_tegra234-p3767-0000-p3768-0000-a0.dtb file in Kernel as below and produced a new dtb and put it back to kernel dtb folder on the board with adding the new dtb address to extlinux.confand added a new FDT. The board is booting the seconday kernel file but I still am seeing the pins as low. Could you please help me where I could be missing?

hello farhangnaderi,

you may examine the hardware pin connections.
please access Jetson Orin NX Series and Orin Nano Series Design Guide, and review [Figure 10-1. CSI 2-Lane Connection Options].

Thanks. I went over it.

Do you also mean that the changes I did to dtb was correct? I mean is this the way to do it? Cause I cannot find any of those cpp based dtsi mentioned in other posts here in the forum. even my Linux For Tegra folder has all dtb files.

hello farhangnaderi,

what’s the difference between your custom carrier board and developer kits.
Orin NX by default support raspberry pi v2, imx219. you may examine the board schematic.

This is a schematic I have so far for one of the cameras. Not sure if it makes any sense!

hello farhangnaderi,

according to the failure… imx219_board_setup: error during i2c read probe
please check regulator settings, had you provide power to your camera board correctly?

There is a level shifter provided between CAM0_PWDN and the camera which when we replace it with a pull up resistor everything works ok. As the left side of diagram says above.

11

We ended up putting pull up resistors on the hardware side as none of the solutions worked in writing a custom kernel.
