How to use VEYE and CS series camera module on NVIDIA Jetson Nano,TX2,AGX Xavier and Xavier NX

1 Overview

This guide shows how to use VEYE and CS series camera modules on Jetson Nano,Jetson Nano 2GB,TX2,TX2 NX,AGX Xavier and Xavier NX. Jetson SDK Version is

  • Jetpack4.2.2,L4T r32.2.1
  • Jetpack4.3,L4T r32.3.1
  • Jetpack4.4,L4T r32.4.3
  • Jetpack4.4.1,L4T r32.4.4
  • Jetpack4.5,L4T r32.5
  • Jetpack4.5.1,L4T r32.5.1
  • Jetpack4.6,L4T r32.6.1

We provide two ways to do so: Prebuilt Binaries or Source Code. Yes, It's Open Source!

VEYE and CS series camera modules are camera module with ISP functions build in. It output UYVY data using MIPI-CSI2. We provide V4L2 interface for video streaming apps , and Video Control Toolkits (which is Shell Script) to control the camera module directly, which is called DRA(Directly Register Access).

3 Upgrade Jetson Nano, Jetson TX2, TX2 NX,AGX Xavier and Xavier NX system

3.1 Overview

This section describes how to upgrade the Jetson system to support our camera module. To support our camera module, we need to update the two parts of the L4T (Linux for Tegra) of the Jetson system, Image and DTB.

In the Image, we added the camera driver, while the DTB indicates the camera model used. In general, you only need to use the Image and DTB, that we have prebuilt, and you don't need to build from source when it is not necessary.

3.2 BSP package introduction

3.2.1 Path

https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp

3.2.2 bsp package includes:
  • prebuild linux kernel:Image
  • prebuild dtb for different boards
  • driver source code
  • dts source code
  • i2c toolkits

3.3 DTB file name and Jetson Board

3.3.1 Nano A02

tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-a02.dtb

3.3.2 Nano B01

tegra210-p3448-0000-p3449-0000-b00.dtb

3.3.3 Nano 2GB

tegra210-p3448-0003-p3542-0000.dtb

3.3.4 TX2 Devkit

tegra186-quill-p3310-1000-c03-00-base.dtb

3.3.5 TX2 NX(p3509-0000 carrier board)

use the same carrier board with XAVIER NX Devkit

tegra186-p3636-0001-p3509-0000-a01.dtb

3.3.6 AGX XAVIER

tegra194-p2888-0001-p2822-0000.dtb

3.3.7 XAVIER NX Devkit

tegra194-p3668-all-p3509-0000.dtb

3.4 DTB file name and camera module correspondence

Under the dtb directory of each motherboard, the directory corresponding to the camera model is stored, and you can usually know the corresponding camera model directly by the directory name.

Specially:

1, VEYE-MIPI-CAM2M is the new version of VEYE series dtb, which supports all VEYE 2M series products, including VEYE-MIPI-327E, VEYE-MIPI-IMX327S, VEYE-MIPI-IMX462, VEYE-MIPI-IMX385.

2, The ones with fpdlink as suffix correspond to fpdlink coaxial model module.

3.5 Upgrade Jetson Nano and Xavier NX 、AGX Xavier without HOST PC

Note: AGX Xavie Jetpack version >= 4.4 , support this upgrade mode. Earlier versions have not been verified and are not recommended.

3.5.1 Check the current L4T version

First check the current L4T version and try to replace it with the same version.

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

If it shows:

# R32 (release), REVISION: 4.3......

It means L4t Verion is 32.4.3

3.5.2 Download the bsp package to the Jetson board

On Jetson Board:

wget https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/releases/latest/download/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tgz

tar -xzvf nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tgz

3.5.3 Upgrade Image

Backup old version Image

cp /boot/Image /boot/Image.backup

cp /boot/Image.sig /boot/Image.sig.backup

Under the bsp package directory, find the corresponding version of the Image package, decompress it, and execute:

sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image /boot/Image -f

For Xavier NX Devkit

Need to use the signed file(For example,file inside Image_l4t_r32.*.*_veyecam_signed_4_xavier),copy Image and Image.sig to /boot/ dir on the Jetson Xavier board:

sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image /boot/Image -f

sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image.sig /boot/Image.sig -f

Effective after restart.

3.5.4 Upgrade dtb

Under the bsp package directory, find the dtb file corresponding to your camera module model and L4T version number.

sudo cp <path to your dtb dir>/<DTB file name> /boot/ -f

Backup extlinux.conf file first

cp /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf / boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf .back

Then, edit the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file and add the following line.

FDT /boot/<DTB file name>

Note: <DTB file name> should be replaced with the corresponding dtb name of the mainboard, ensure that the file specified in the FDT line actually exists correctly.

Effective after restart.

3.6 Upgrade Jetson Board using Host PC

3.6.1 Burn the standard Image

Note: if your Jetson board has correctly burned the standard version Image, you can skip this step.

You can burn the standard Image using SDK Manager or following the steps below.

  • Set PATH

Assume SDK install directory is <TOPDIR>.

export TOP_DIR=<absolute path to top dir accroding to your jetpack version and board name;for example /home/xumm/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_4.5_Linux_JETSON_XAVIER_NX_DEVKIT/>

export L4T_DIR=$TOP_DIR/Linux_for_Tegra

  • Build default image, flashing to Jetson Board, prepare L4T environment

cd $L4T_DIR

sudo ./apply_binaries.sh  

- Nano

sudo ./flash.sh jetson-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1

  • Run the following command to check the presence of video node.

ls /dev/video*

The output message appears as shown below.

videoX  

4.2 Video Stream Toolkits Manual

Our camera appears as /dev/videoX device node,where X is between [0-5].

Our camera module, mapped as /dev/videoX device node in the Jetson system.

During the OS boot process, the cameras are detected in the order of i2c bus from smallest to largest. For example, if only one camera is connected, X is 0 regardless of the hardware connection to the location. if 5 cameras are connected, X is reflected as [0-4] according to i2c bus from smallest to largest.

in gstreamer command ,v4l2src has a param device=/dev/videoX to identify which camera to use.

5 Realtimes RTSO-9001

5.1 Hardware Setup

CS-MIPI-IMX307 and RTSO-9001(TX2)


Matching with Realtimes RTSO-9001, you need to use RTST-RPI adapter board.

Note: the power supply capacity of the MIPI CSI-2 interface of the current version of RTSO-9001 is not enough to support the power requirements of our camera, which requires an additional 5V power supply to the camera. It is not shown in the picture above.

5.2 Software bsp

  • The corresponding directory for Realtimes RTSO-9001, is:

nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp\TX2\JetPack_4.2.2_Linux_RTSO-9001

  • Subject to the agreement with Ruitai, we do not release the source code
  • Our code have been submitted to Realtimes, and customers are advised to contact Realtimes for a complete version of the supported image.

6 Document History

  • 20220110

Add VEYE-MIPI-IMX385 support.

  • 20220105

Use nvv4l2h264enc instead of omxh264enc in gstreamer command,because omxh264enc has been deprecated.

  • 20211025

Use nvcamerasrc instead of v4l2src in gstreamer command , and the data goes directly into DMA memory.
