What camera sensor used to NVIDIA Jetson

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson Systems Jetson Orin Nano

hello,
I would like to know the camera sensor that NVIDIA Jetson used to develop the camera ISP, not the camera provided by the third party partners.

Can you let me know?

hello tnals,

you may refer to Camera Architecture Stack for the camera stream going through libargus it’ll use internal ISP.
there’re two camera were supported by default, they’re… raspberry pi v2, imx219, raspberry pi v3, imx477.

4

According to kernel_src in Driver Package (BSP) source, there are IMX204, IMX219, IMX274…, ov5693, ov10823 and ov23850.
Are all of these sensors supported?
Or are these sensors recommended?

hello tnals,

those were all supported driver.
since you’re working with Orin Nano. it’s suggest refer to raspberry pi v2, imx219, or, raspberry pi v3, imx477.

6

thank you.

However, looking at the Raspberry Pi homepage, it appears that the Raspberry Pi v3 camera uses imx708, not imx477.

Is it okay to use Raspberry pi v3 camera?

there’s no IMX708 driver with the default sources package.
here’s external page regarding to IMX477, Buy a Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera – Raspberry Pi

thank you,

Additionally, I would like to know what camera sensor the Jetson AGX Orin developer kit uses.

hello tnals,

as you can see in the Camera Design Guide, they’re having difference camera connector.
IMX219 and IMX477 are not supported on AGX Orin.

you may running Jetson-IO utility on AGX Orin to see CSI configurations for compatible hardwares.
for example,

 |                     Jetson Camera Dual-IMX274                      |         
 |                     Jetson Camera E3331 module                     |         
 |                     Jetson Camera E3333 module                     |         
 |                        Jetson Camera IMX185                        |         
 |                        Jetson Camera IMX390                        |

those drivers also contain in the [Driver Package (BSP) source].

So if I use the AGX Orin developer kit, should I use one of the camera sensors IMX 274, IMX 185, IMX390?

11

hello tnals,

may I have details for asking internal reference board?
as you can see in the Camera Architecture Stack, for the camera buffers going through libargus it’ll use internal ISP.

12

Hello,

I want to access to ISP and I considering AGX Orin and Orin Nano Developer Kit.
Since the camera sensors available in each Developer Kit are different,
I would like to know which camera sensors can be used in AGX Orin and Orin Nano each other.

13

I just want to know which camera sensor is recommended when using AGX Orin and when using Orin Nano.

14

hello tnals,

it depends-on your own use-case, I cannot recommend a camera sensor for you.
please see-also this technical blog…

you should also refer to Jetson Partner Supported Cameras.

15

Thank you.

However, I don’t want a camera provided by a third-party partner, and I want to know what camera sensors are available besides third-party partners.

So when using AGX Orin, when using Orin Nano I want to know which camera sensors are available and not from third party partners.

16

please refer to my previous comment #9.

17

So I asked in the next comment if I could use these camera sensors.

18

hello tnals,

yes, you may. they’re coming from Leopard Imaging, actually.
for instance, Jetson Camera IMX185, LI-XAVIER-KIT-IMX185CS - Leopard Imaging Inc.

19

hello,

I have one more question.
It was said that IMX274, IMX185, and IMX390 can be used using the AGX Orin Developer Kit. However, if you look at the image below, there are no drivers for IMX274 and IMX390.
Does that mean only IMX185 can be used?

hello tnals,

please double check you’ve download [Driver Package (BSP) Sources] via jetson-linux-r3541
you shall see drivers under the i2c folder.
for example,

~/public_sources/r35.4.1/Linux_for_Tegra/source/public/kernel_src/kernel/nvidia/drivers/media/i2c$ ls

Oh thank you, I was looking at another folder.

Sorry, I have one last question.
AGX Orin can use IMX390, IMX274, and IMX185, and Orin Nano can use IMX219 and IMX477.
Rather than simply seeing low-quality images, do these camera sensors support the ISP within Jetson to adjust the quality and output the images??
If yes, what is the quality of the video?
