Hi Eric,

Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the HQ camera driver in Jetpack 4.4.1 and Jetson Nano 4GB. We will try to reproduce the problem and get back to you.

FYI, only in Jetson Nano 2GB the camera would work without removing the resistor.

Hi, yes I removed the R8 resistor on my testcamera.  
With JetPack 4.4 the camera is working correctly now.

@Dharmalingam.K What is the maximum exposure time possible in 130=CURB camera? The rpi v2 camera supports up to 10 seconds of exposure to record images in low light. Can your camera support 10 seconds or more at 4K resolution?

HI Jaiyam,

Our current firmware has to support up to 1 second of exposure time. If required, we can optimize according to the requirement. Please write us with your requirements to “[sales@e-consystems.com](mailto:sales@e-consystems.com)”

Thank you.

I have the same question.

How are you asking the camera to take an image on the Jetson?  
Using nvarguscamerasrc only give me video at 30 or 60 fps. I can’t change the exposure time beyond the frame rate.

See my post here:

</div>

I don’t think it is possible using nvarguscamerasrc. Just use the camera as a uvc compliant v4l2 device named `/dev/video0`. A utility called `v4l2-ctl` will allow you to set more options than nv plugin. After setting the parameters using `v4l2-ctl`, read the frames using ffmpeg by specifying the framerate via the `-r` flag. You can redirect the output of ffmpeg to stdout and use it in a normal python script. To be perfectly clear, I have done this on a raspberry pi, not nano, but since we are using standard linux commands, I expect this to work on the nano as well.

Hi @noyvirt

The driver is already included in the latest l4t-r32.5 but it is missing the device tree configuration so it is disabled.

Hi @DavidSoto-RidgeRun and @Edison_F_A , I am seeing image quality issues with the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera when I use the RidgeRun driver on my Jetson Nano developer kit. (The 4GB version, not the 2GB version.)

Here are pictures I captured using the RidgeRun driver ([installed using these instructions](https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi_HQ_camera_IMX477_Linux_driver_for_Jetson)), and then another driver available from ArduCam ([installed using these instructions](https://www.arducam.com/docs/camera-for-jetson-nano/native-jetson-cameras-imx219-imx477/imx477)). There is an obvious difference in image quality. Is there something in the installation instructions that I missed? Do I need to use a special ISP configuration file with the RidgeRun driver?

1. Raspberry Pi HQ Camera - RidgeRun driver - Jetson Nano Developer Kit  

2. Raspberry Pi HQ Camera - ArduCam driver - Jetson Nano Developer Kit  

Thank you!

Hi @EdjeElectronics ,

One quick question, are you using the ISP calibration files that we provide in our repository?

The one [here](https://github.com/RidgeRun/NVIDIA-Jetson-IMX477-RPIV3/tree/master/li-camera-calibration-files), installed using [these instructions](https://github.com/RidgeRun/NVIDIA-Jetson-IMX477-RPIV3#isp-camera-overrides-installation).

Hey @CarlosR92 , installing the camera\_overrides.isp file fixed it! The coloration looks normal now. Thanks a bunch for your help.

Your installation instructions for the IMX477 driver never mention needing to install the ISP calibration file. At least, it wasn’t clear to me 😅. Can you guys add that to the instructions?

Thanks for your feedback @EdjeElectronics , I just added a couple of lines at the end of the guide to make sure everyone uses the ISP to avoid the washed-out colors issue.

Hi @luissilva.lfrs , the driver might work, but the patches won’t apply directly, you will need to do some integration work.

I have noticed a few typos (x2) in the README for the Raspberry Pi IMX477 Driver package located here: [RPi IMX477 Support Nano 2GB](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads#?search=RPi%20IMX477%20Support%20Nano%202GB)  
This might be misleading to newcomers looking to set up their new camera!

Would we be able to get these corrected?

1. line 5, column 66 - reads `/usb/sbin`. This should be corrected to read `/usr/sbin`
2. line 11, column 54 - reads `aarch64-linu-gnu/`. This should be corrected to `aarch64-linux-gnu/`
