NOTE
This camera is mainly designed for the Jetson Nano/Xavier NX. It can also be used on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (like CM4, CM3+), but is not compatible with standard Raspberry Pi models (like Raspberry Pi 4B/3B/B+ ).
HARDWARE CONNECTION
You need to connect the camera module to the Jetson Nano’s camera port.
- Locate the camera port near the barrel power connector, and gently pull up on the plas- 1 tic edge.
- Push in the camera ribbon, and make sure the silver connectors are facing the heatsinks.Do not bend the flex cable, and make sure it’s firmly inserted.
- Push the plastic connector down while holding the flex cable until the connector is back in place.
SOFTWARE SETTING
Power on Jetson Nano and open the Terminal
(Ctrl+ALT+T)
Test camera with the command:
DISPLAY=:0.0 gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc !
‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3280,
height=2464, format=(string)NV12, framerate= (fraction)20/1’ ! nvoverlaysink -e
If the image captured feels reddish, you can down- load a new .isp file to override the old one:
wget https://www.arducam.com/downloads/Jetson/Camera_overrides.tar.gz
tar zxvf Camera_overrides.tar.gzsudo cp camera_overrides.isp /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/
sudo chmod 664 /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/camera_overrides.isp
sudo chown root:root /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/camera_overrides.isp
