*VEYE-MIPI-IMX327S/VEYE-MIPI-IMX462/VEYE-MIPI-IMX385(using VEYE-MIPI-CAM2M dtb)
−
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.
+
<code>dmesg | grep veye</code>  
  
−
====BSP package introduction====

==== DTB file name and camera module correspondence ====
+
*For CS-MIPI-SC132
−
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:
+
<code>dmesg | grep cssc132</code>  
  
−
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.
+
The output message appears as shown below.：
  
−

+
<code>subdev cssc132 [i2c_bus]-003b bound</code>
  
−
====Upgrade Jetson Nano and Xavier NX 、AGX Xavier without HOST PC====
+
*For VEYE-MIPI-IMX335
−
Note: AGX Xavie Jetpack version >= 4.4 , support this upgrade mode. Earlier versions have not been verified and are not recommended.
 
  
−
=====Check the current L4T version=====
+
<code>dmesg | grep imx335</code>
−
First check the current L4T version and try to replace it with the same version.
 
  
−
<code>cat /etc/nv_tegra_release</code>
+
The output message appears as shown below.：
  
−
If it shows:
+
<code>camera id is VEYE-MIPI-IMX335</code>
  
−
<code># R32 (release), REVISION: 4.3......</code>
+
<code>subdev veye_imx335 [i2c_bus]-003b bound</code>
  
−
It means L4t Verion is 32.4.3
+
*Run the following command to check the presence of video node.
  
−
=====Download the bsp package to the Jetson board=====
+
<code>ls /dev/video*</code>
−
On Jetson Nano or Xavier NX:
 
  
−
<code>git clone <nowiki>https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.git</nowiki></code>
+
The output message appears as shown below.
  
−
=====Upgrade Image=====
+
<code>videoX</code>  
−
First, under the bsp package directory, find the corresponding version of the Image package, decompress it, and execute:
 
  
−
<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image /boot/Image -f</code>
+
*For VEYE-MIPI-327(using VEYE-MIPI-327 dtb)
  
−
''For Xavier NX Devkit''
+
<code>dmesg | grep veye327</code>  
  
−
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:
+
The output message appears as shown below：
  
−
<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image /boot/Image -f</code>
+
<code>Detected VEYE327 sensor</code>
  
−
<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image.sig /boot/Image.sig -f</code>
+
<code>subdev veye327 [i2c_bus]-003b bound</code>
  
−
Effective after restart.
+
The [i2c_bus] in the driver prompt message indicates the i2c bus corresponding to this camera.
  
−
=====Upgrade dtb=====
+
====Video Stream Toolkits Manual====
−
Under the bsp package directory, find the dtb file corresponding to your camera module model and L4T version number.
+
The camera appears as /dev/videoX device node,where X is between [0-5].
  
−
<code>sudo cp <path to your dtb dir>/<DTB file name> /boot/ -f</code>
+
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.
  
−
Then, edit the ''/ boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf''  file and add the following line.
+
In gstreamer command ，v4l2src and nvv4l2camerasrc has a param device=/dev/videoX to identify which camera to use.
 +
=====Gstreamer Usage=====
 +
To install the latest accelerated gstreamer plugins and applications, run the following commands:
  
−
<code>FDT /boot/<DTB file name></code>
+
<code>sudo apt-get update</code>
  
−
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.
+
<code>sudo apt-get install nvidia-l4t-gstreamer</code>
  
−
Effective after restart.
+
<code>sudo ldconfig</code>
  
−
====Upgrade Jetson Board using Host PC====
+
<code>rm -rf .cache/gstreamer-1.0/</code>
  
−
=====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.

===How to port the driver to a third party board===
  
−
You should be able to find the camera model you used.
+
==== 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.
  
−
==== Protection against being overwritten by upgrades ====
+
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.
−
After making sure Image and dtb are successfully updated, please execute the following command to prevent kernel and dtb from being overwritten by update.
 
  
−
<code>sudo apt-mark hold nvidia-l4t-kernel nvidia-l4t-kernel-dtbs</code>
+
==== dts porting ====
−
====Build the drivers from source====
+
We only provide dtb for some boards of Nano, TX2, Xavier, Orin. For the types not provided, it is necessary to：
−
Please refer to: [[VEYE CS Camera source for Jetson|Nvidia Jetson platform VEYE and CS series camera driver source code compilation guide]].
 
  
−
Could be used for Flashing or Upgrading.
+
1. get the dts source code of that board.
−
===Applications and Test===
 
−
====Check system status====
 
−
Run the following command to confirm whether the camera is probed.
 
  
−
*For VEYE-MIPI-327(using VEYE-MIPI-327 dtb)
+
2. put our camera related dts to the whole.
  
−
<code>dmesg | grep veye327</code>  
+
3. recompile to get the dtb of the corresponding board.
  
−
The output message appears as shown below：
+
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.
  
−

=== FAQ and bug list ===
  
−
<code>subdev veye327 X-003b bound</code>
+
==== 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.
  
−
*VEYE-MIPI-IMX327S/VEYE-MIPI-IMX462/VEYE-MIPI-IMX385(using VEYE-MIPI-CAM2M dtb)
+
==== 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.
  
−
<code>dmesg | grep veye</code>  
+
It is recommended to refer to this [[Power supply mode switching|article]] and modify the power supply mode of CS-MIPI-IMX307 to use the 5V power supply mode.
  
−
The output message appears as shown below：
+
==== Jetpack5.0.1 DP ====
 +
This version has many bugs, such as not supporting nvv4l2camerasrc, not recommended to use.
  
−
<code>camera id is veyecam</code>
+
==== nv3dsink ====
−
 
+
Jetpack 5.x no longer supports nvoverlaysink, use nv3dsink instead.
−

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

1 Overview

This guide shows how to use VEYE and CS series camera modules on Jetson boards. 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
  • Jetpack4.6.1, L4T r32.7.1
  • Jetpack4.6.2,L4T r32.7.2
  • Jetpack4.6.3,L4T r32.7.3
  • Jetpack4.6.4,L4T r32.7.4
  • Jetpack5.0.1DP, L4T r34.1.1
  • Jetpack5.0.2, L4T r35.1
  • Jetpack5.1,L4T r35.2.1
  • Jetpack5.1.1,L4T r35.3.1
  • 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
6cam interposer board connected with 6 cameras


In particular, the VEYE-MIPI-IMX335 must use a 12V DC terminal to provide auxiliary power due to its high power consumption. Refer to J11 of ADP-N1.

2.1 NVIDIA TX2 Developer Kit

It is connected as shown in figure:

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.

4.2.3 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.
