Raspberry Pi V2 CSI camera works, but not with Cheese Ubuntu 18.04 Jet Pack 4.5

I’m trying to modify a Raspberry Pi object detection project to work on Jetson Nano (4G).
Other discussions seem similar but none have a solution that works for me.

However, I’m struggling with verifying if my camera is set up correctly.
Using the Raspberry Pi V2 camera via the CSI port.

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc | nvoverlaysink - this works
Cheese does not work:
cheese_camera_device_get_name: Assertion “CHEESE_IS_CAMERA_DEVICE” (device)" failed

I tried hooking up a USB camera (a no name dash cab set to ‘PC’ mode ) and it will not work at all

I saw a discussion about csi_camera.ipynb module and usb_camera.ipynb module.
However, not clear what is the issue.

JetPack 4.5
modified Tensorflow installation to use older version due to an error using v2
#import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
installed opencv

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi,
Pi camera V2 has to be run through nvarguscamerasrc. For launching it in OpenCV, please refer to the samples:
