====How to check the current L4T version====
 +
 
 +
===== Method 1 =====
 +
On Jetson board
 +
 
 +
<code>cat /etc/nv_tegra_release</code>
 +
 
 +
If it shows:
 +
 
 +
<code># R32 (release), REVISION: 4.3......</code>
 +
 
 +
It means L4t Version is 32.4.3
 +
 
 +
===== Method 2 =====
 +
Refer to this [https://pypi.org/project/jetson-stats/ link] to install jetson-stats:
 +
 
 +
<code>jtop</code>

*Setting Up the Environment
+
====Video Stream Toolkits Manual====
 +
The camera appears as /dev/videoX device node,where X is between [0-5].
  
−
Assume SDK install directory is <TOPDIR>，source code is in $L4T_DIR/sources directory.
+
During the Linux 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.

===How to port the driver to a third party board===
  
−
*For CS-MIPI-IMX307
+
==== driver porting ====
 +
For Image, we have added functionality to the official standard Image and have not made any deletions. In general, you can use our compiled Image directly. for special cases, please refer to the source code for integration.
  
−
<code>dmesg | grep csimx307</code>  
+
For modules it is even easier to just use them. Compiling from source code and is very simple, so I won't go into details here.
  
−
The output message appears as shown below.：
+
==== dts porting ====
 +
We only provide dtb for some boards of Nano, TX2, Xavier, Orin. For the types not provided, it is necessary to：
  
−
<code>Detected CS307 sensor</code>
+
1. get the dts source code of that board.
  
−
<code>subdev csimx307 3X-003b bound</code>
+
2. put our camera related dts to the whole.
  
−
*Run the following command to check the presence of video node.
+
3. recompile to get the dtb of the corresponding board.
  
−
<code>ls /dev/video*</code>
+
The operation steps are not complicated, but there are some third-party base board manufacturers do not open dts source code. This will require the cooperation of all parties to do so.

  • Jetpack5.1.2,L4T r35.4.1
  • Jetpack5.1.3,L4T r35.5
  • Jetpack6.0,L4T r36.3
  • Jetpack6.1,L4T r36.4

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).

1.2 How to check the current L4T version

1.2.1 Method 1

On Jetson board

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

If it shows:

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

It means L4t Version is 32.4.3

1.2.2 Method 2

Refer to this link to install jetson-stats:

jtop

2 Hardware Setup

We have designed a 6cam interposer board for TX2 devkit,Xavier and Orin, It support up to 6 cameras at the same time.

6cam interposer board connected with 6 cameras

3 Upgrade Jetson system

This section describes how to upgrade the Jetson system to support MV camera module. For OS update method, please refer to Update Jetson OS.

4 Applications and Test

4.1 Check system status

Run the following command to confirm whether the camera is probed.

  • VEYE-MIPI-IMX327S/VEYE-MIPI-IMX462/VEYE-MIPI-IMX385(using VEYE-MIPI-CAM2M dtb)

dmesg | grep veye  

The output message appears as shown below：

camera id is veyecam

sensor is IMX327/IMX462/IMX385

subdev veyecam [i2c_bus]-003b bound

  • For CS-MIPI-IMX307

dmesg | grep csx307  

The output message appears as shown below.：

Detected CS307 sensor

subdev csx307 [i2c_bus]-003b bound

  • For CS-MIPI-SC132

dmesg | grep cssc132  

The output message appears as shown below.：

subdev cssc132 [i2c_bus]-003b bound

  • For VEYE-MIPI-IMX335

dmesg | grep imx335

The output message appears as shown below.：

camera id is VEYE-MIPI-IMX335

subdev veye_imx335 [i2c_bus]-003b bound

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

ls /dev/video*

The output message appears as shown below.

videoX  

  • For VEYE-MIPI-327(using VEYE-MIPI-327 dtb)

dmesg | grep veye327  

The output message appears as shown below：

Detected VEYE327 sensor

subdev veye327 [i2c_bus]-003b bound

The [i2c_bus] in the driver prompt message indicates the i2c bus corresponding to this camera.

4.2 Video Stream Toolkits Manual

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

During the Linux 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 and nvv4l2camerasrc has a param device=/dev/videoX to identify which camera to use.

4.2.1 Gstreamer Usage

To install the latest accelerated gstreamer plugins and applications, run the following commands:

4.2.3 Jetson multimedia-api samples

The Jetson Linux API is available on the Jetson platform for developers to use. Please refer to the official nVidia documentation for the installation of the jetson_multimedia_api package.

For VEYE and CS series cameras, the ISP function is already integrated in the camera, so you cannot use libargus to get data, but can directly use the standard V4L2 interface to get data from the /dev/videoX device file.

The following two samples can be run directly.

4.2.3.1 12_camera_v4l2_cuda

./camera_v4l2_cuda -d /dev/video0 -s 1920x1080 -f UYVY

4.2.3.2 v4l2cuda

./capture-cuda -d /dev/video0 -f UYVY -m -o out.ppm -s 1920x1080 -c 1

4.2.4 v4l2-ctl Application Examples
4.2.4.1 install v4l2-utils

sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

4.2.4.2 Configure parameters using v4l2-ctl
  • List the data formats supported by the camera

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext

  • Frame rate statistics

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=UYVY--stream-mmap --stream-count=-1 --stream-to=/dev/null

  • Save image to file

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=UYVY --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=uyvy-1920x1080.yuv

4.2.5 yavta
4.2.5.1 install yavta

git clone https://github.com/veyeimaging/yavta.git

cd yavta;make

4.2.5.2 Save image to file

./yavta -c1 -FUYVY-1920x1080.yuv --skip 0 -f UYVY -s 1920x1080 /dev/video0

4.2.6 Opencv

To import camera data from v4l2 devices to opencv, we provide several samples.

We provide 2 samples here.

5 How to port the driver to a third party board

5.1 driver porting

For Image, we have added functionality to the official standard Image and have not made any deletions. In general, you can use our compiled Image directly. for special cases, please refer to the source code for integration.

For modules it is even easier to just use them. Compiling from source code and is very simple, so I won't go into details here.

5.2 dts porting

We only provide dtb for some boards of Nano, TX2, Xavier, Orin. For the types not provided, it is necessary to：

1. get the dts source code of that board.

2. put our camera related dts to the whole.

3. recompile to get the dtb of the corresponding board.

The operation steps are not complicated, but there are some third-party base board manufacturers do not open dts source code. This will require the cooperation of all parties to do so.

6 FAQ and bug list

6.1 VEYE cameras on Jetpack5.x

Jetpack5.x has more stringent requirements for mipi signals in xavier and orin platforms. VEYE-MIPI-xxx series cameras need firmware hdver>=7 to be perfectly supported.

6.2 CS-MIPI-IMX307 combined with Orin nano and Orin NX Green Screen

When CS-MIPI-IMX307 is powered by the 3.3V mode of the FFC cable, the MIPI receiver state machine of Orin nano and Orin NX (Jetpack5.1.1) will enter an incorrect state.

It is recommended to refer to this article and modify the power supply mode of CS-MIPI-IMX307 to use the 5V power supply mode.

6.3 Jetpack5.0.1 DP

This version has many bugs, such as not supporting nvv4l2camerasrc, not recommended to use.

6.4 nv3dsink

Jetpack 5.x no longer supports nvoverlaysink, use nv3dsink instead.
