Raspberry Pi HQ Camera (IMX477) not detected on Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 6.1 help me

[beakddong]

Hello,

I’m using a Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit running JetPack 6.1 (L4T 36.x), and I’m trying to use a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera. However, I’m encountering an issue where the camera is not detected at all.

My current setup:

• Board: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit

• JetPack / L4T: JetPack 6.1 (L4T 36.x)

• Camera: Raspberry Pi HQ Camera (IMX477, CSI-2 interface)

• Interface: Connected directly to CSI port on the Jetson carrier board

What I did:

1. Ran ls /dev/video* → No devices found

2. Used sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py → Enabled IMX477-A under CSI Camera options

3. Rebooted the board → Still no /dev/video0 or any camera device node appears

Followed Arducam’s Jetson-IO configuration guide as per their tutorial

And removed R8 resistor from camera module( Raspberry Pi HQ camera IMX477 Linux driver for Jetson )

Question:

• How can I properly enable and verify the IMX477 camera on Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack 6.1?

• Is additional driver installation required, or is the IMX477 supported out of the box on JetPack 6.1?

• Do I need to modify the device tree or use v4l2-ctl with a specific configuration?

Any guidance on how to correctly bring up this camera would be greatly appreciated.

hello beakddong,

JetPack-6.1/r36.4 is quite old, is it possible for moving forward to the latest JetPack 6.2.1/L4T 36.4.4 for verification?

Enabled IMX477-A under CSI Camera options

it’s the overlay to enable 2-lane camera on CSI-B.
please double check you’re connecting the camera (please also mind the pin directions) to the J20 camera slots.

BTW,
there’re two camera slots on Orin Nano Developer Kit. and, it’s only J21 slot able to support 4-lane configuration.
