We are trying to run the Xsens MTI-3 on our Jetpack 6 on our Jetson Orin Nano, but we recieve an error.

However, we did run the Xsens MTI-1 on the Jetpack 5 successfully. Is the newest version of Jetpack 6 unable to recieve IMU data successfully?

Hi,
Would suggest check if there is additional configs need to be enabled for the device. And refer to developer guide to enabled required configs and rebuild kernel:

Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide

Thank you so much for your response! Is Jetpack 6 even compatible with the MTI-3 IMU device?

Hi @sbanda1, I am a Sr. Field Application Engineer at Xsens by Movella. We have tested our MTi devices with Jetpack 6, and they are compatible. Please refer to the resources below:
