I have bought two Tier IV C1 Cameras with followings board and deserializers and setup on a Jetson AGX Orin(64GB) with SSD installed.

  1. Xavier Board
  2. Deserializers
  3. MIPI Cables

I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue with your Tier IV C1 Cameras on the Jetson AGX Orin (64GB) with SSD installed.

First, let’s break down the components involved:

  1. Tier IV C1 Cameras: These are custom cameras that you’ve purchased.
  2. Jetson AGX Orin (64GB) with SSD installed: This is the platform you’re using, which is a high-performance AI computer.
  3. Xavier Board Deserializers: These are deserializers specifically designed for the Xavier board, which is a different platform from the Jetson AGX Orin.
  4. MIPI Cables: These are cables used for connecting the cameras to the deserializers.
  5. Physical Connections: You’ve connected the cameras to the deserializers and the deserializers to the Jetson AGX Orin as shown in the image.

Now, let’s analyze the issue:

  • You’ve followed the instructions from the Tier IV Cameras Getting Started Guide for Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin/Xavier, but you’re still unable to get the C1 cameras working.
  • You’ve provided the dmesg output, which suggests that there might be some kernel-level issues or errors.

Possible causes of the issue:

  1. Incompatible deserializers: The Xavier Board Deserializers might not be compatible with the Jetson AGX Orin platform. The Jetson AGX Orin has a different architecture and requirements than the Xavier board.
  2. Incorrect connections: Although you’ve provided an image of the connections, it’s possible that there might be some incorrect or loose connections that are causing the issue.
  3. Camera compatibility: The Tier IV C1 Cameras might not be compatible with the Jetson AGX Orin platform. You might need to check the camera’s specifications and ensure that they are compatible with the platform.

To troubleshoot the issue, I recommend the following steps:

  1. Verify the connections: Double-check the connections between the cameras, deserializers, and the Jetson AGX Orin to ensure that they are correct and secure.
  2. Check the deserializers: Verify that the Xavier Board Deserializers are compatible with the Jetson AGX Orin platform. If not, you might need to use deserializers specifically designed for the Jetson AGX Orin.
  3. Camera compatibility: Check the camera’s specifications and ensure that they are compatible with the Jetson AGX Orin platform.
  4. Kernel-level issues: Analyze the dmesg output to identify any kernel-level issues or errors that might be causing the problem.
  5. Seek support: Reach out to Tier IV support or NVIDIA support for further assistance and guidance on resolving the issue.

In comparison to other platforms, the Jetson AGX Orin has specific requirements and compatibility constraints. For example, the Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano have different camera compatibility and requirements than the Jetson AGX Orin.

I hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue with your Tier IV C1 Cameras on the Jetson AGX Orin (64GB) with SSD installed. If you have any further questions or need more specific guidance, feel free to ask!

It is compatible for Jetson AGX Orin where I reference on this website.

May I know what should I check except physical connections and etc?

hello leow1,

please also check with sensor vendor to confirm it works on AGX Orin as well.
