I’m trying to connect an IMX477 camera module to the Jetson Orin 8GB (JetPack 6.2.1). This same camera previously worked fine on a Jetson Nano (the only difference is ribbon cable since orin has smaller CSI port), but on the Orin it’s not being detected at all.
What i have checked:
I Should expect I2C detects even without device tree support, right? do I need to install a custom device tree overlay?

To troubleshoot the issue with connecting an IMX477 camera module to the Jetson Orin 8GB with JetPack 6.2.1, let’s break down the steps you’ve taken and provide additional guidance.
Camera doesn’t appear on any I2C bus: This is a crucial step in verifying that the camera is not being detected by the system. The IMX477 camera module uses the I2C interface for communication, so it’s expected that it should appear on one of the I2C buses. Since it’s not being detected, it’s possible that there’s an issue with the camera module, the ribbon cable, or the CSI port on the Jetson Orin.
No dev/video devices are listed: This suggests that the camera is not being recognized by the system, which is consistent with the I2C detection issue.
Tried on CAM0: You’ve tried connecting the camera to the CAM0 interface, which is the correct interface for the IMX477 camera module.
Expect I2C detects even without device tree support: Yes, that’s correct. The I2C detection should work even without device tree support. However, device tree support is required for the camera to function properly.
To resolve the issue, you can try the following:
In comparison to the Jetson Nano, the Jetson Orin has a different CSI port and may require a different device tree overlay. Additionally, the Jetson Orin has a more complex camera architecture, which may require additional configuration.
To further troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:
i2cdetect command: Run the i2cdetect command to scan the I2C buses and see if the camera module is detected.v4l2-ctl command: Run the v4l2-ctl command to query the camera module and see if it’s recognized by the system.By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue and get the IMX477 camera module working on the Jetson Orin 8GB with JetPack 6.2.1.
*** Please give the thumbs up if you get answers you like. Or provide feedback to help us improve the answer. ***
You should be able enable the IMX477 by jetson-io to verify again.
Thanks
thanks it solved by modifying in jetson-io.
but it seems like gstreamer is not supported on jetson orin for imx477, if yes what’s the alternative way?
Hello @mshey904,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with the IMX477 camera on your Jetson Orin.
Let me ask you a couple questions to better understand your situation.

Hi ProventusNova,
Sorry I mean i have issue with gstreamer via nvarguscamerasrc. I saw some errors in argus daemon log after run the gstreamer with nvarguscamerasrc:

Understood. Thanks for sharing the extra details.
Seems like the driver is actually loading successfully.
And it’s finding 1 IMX477 camera module connected to your board.
You mentioned on your original post that there are no video devices registered under /dev/video*. Is that still the same ?
If there is now a video device registered, can you try capturing with v4l2-ctl to validate CSI config ?
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap Please check width, height and pixel format matches something your camera supports.

No, I fixed that issue by modifying with jetson-io.py
This is the captured image from my keyboard. looks cool and awful :)

Thanks for sharing the images.
So just to recap.
Those images you shared, did you captured them with v4l2-ctl and then post-processed them ? Or are you capturing those with nvarguscamera?
