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

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:

TX2 Devkit 6 cameras connection

Be sure to screw the ADP adapter board to the bottom board.

2.2 NVIDIA AGX Xavier(the same with Orin)

Connect VEYE cameras to AGX Xavier

Be sure to screw the ADP adapter board to the bottom board to ensure that the adapter plate is installed flat.

2.3 NVIDIA Nano ，TX2 NX and Xavier NX Devkit

The Xavier NX interface is compatible with raspberry pi and Jetson Nano. The connection mode is shown in figure:

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

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.

4.3 Using i2c script to modify camera parameters

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.

-===Upgrade Jetson Nano, TX2,Xavier and Orin system===
-====Overview====
-This section describes how to upgrade the Jetson system to support our camera module.
-* Jetpack4.x versions
-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.
-* Jetpack5.x versions
-The driver is no longer compiled into the Image, but loaded into the system as a separate module. The dtb file is still compiled together as a whole to facilitate replacement.
-The dtb can also be loaded dynamically as an overlay. Refer to the official nVidia Developer's Guide for NVIDIA® Jetson™ Linux for details.
-* For MV series camera
-For MV series modules, we have added features to Image in order to support extended data types and external trigger modes. So regardless of Jetpack version, you need to update Image.
-Whether you need to update modules depends on Jetpack version.
-====BSP package introduction====
-=====Path=====
-https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp
-=====bsp package includes：=====
-*prebuilt dtb for different boards
-*driver source code

-==== 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:
-, 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 ones with fpdlink as suffix correspond to fpdlink coaxial model module.
-，MV-MIPI-MVCAM is the common dtb for all MV series and RAW series cameras.
-====Upgrade directly on the jetson board====
-Applicable models: Jetson Nano, Xavier and Orin.
-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=====
-First check the current L4T version and try to replace it with the same version.
-<code>cat /etc/nv_tegra_release</code>
-If it shows:
-<code># R32 (release), REVISION: 4.3......</code>
-It means L4t Verion is 32.4.3
-===== Note about L4T 32.7. 2 =====
-The Image and dts of L4T 32.7.2 are identical to those of L4T 32.7.1, so you can directly use the contents of the L4T 32.7.1 related directory.
-In addition, the upgrade requires updating cboot, please refer to the FAQ section.
-=====Download the bsp package to the Jetson board=====
-On Jetson Board:
-<code>wget <nowiki>https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/releases/latest/download/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz</nowiki></code>
-Or type in the address bar of your browser：<code><nowiki>https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/releases/latest/download/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz</nowiki></code>
-<code>tar -xzvf nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz</code>
-=====Upgrade Image(For Jetpack4.x or MV series cameras)=====
-Backup old version Image
-<code>cp /boot/Image /boot/Image.backup</code>
-<code>cp /boot/Image.sig /boot/Image.sig.backup</code>
-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>
+=== Upgrade Jetson system ===
+This section describes how to upgrade the Jetson system to support MV camera module. For OS update method, please refer to [[How to upgrade the Jetson system to support VEYE cameras|Update Jetson OS]].
-''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:
-<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image* /boot/Image -f</code>
-Effective after restart.
-===== install camera modules(For Jetpack5.x) =====
-Check linux version:
-<code>uname -r</code>
-Find the corresponding directory in <code>nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/ko</code> :
-<code>sudo cp nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/ko/$(uname -r)/* /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/i2c/ -f</code>
-Specially，for Jetpack5.1:
-<code>sudo cp nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/ko/5.10.104-tegra-l4t35.2.1/* /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/i2c/ -f</code>
-For Jetpack5.1.1:
-<code>sudo cp nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/ko/5.10.104-tegra-l4t35.3.1/* /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/media/i2c/ -f</code>
-====== General ======
-Register the modules to the system by executing the following command.
-<code>sudo depmod</code>
-====== Special ======
-If using a camera module with fpdlink interface. You must manually control the loading order to ensure that ds90ub954.ko is loaded before the camera driver is loaded.
-After the system boots, manually insert the drivers in order, e.g.
-<code>sudo insmod ds90ub954.ko</code>
-<code>sudo insmod cs_imx307.ko</code>
-The command to load the driver can be added to the startup script.
-=====Upgrade dtb=====
-Under the bsp package directory, find the dtb file corresponding to your camera module model and L4T version number.
-<code>sudo mkdir /boot/veyecam/</code>
-<code>sudo cp <path to your dtb dir>/<DTB file name> /boot/veyecam/ -f</code>
-Backup extlinux.conf file first
-<code>cp /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf  / boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.back</code>
-Then, edit the ''/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf''  file and add the following line.
-<code>FDT /boot/veyecam/<DTB file name></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.
-Effective after restart.
-====Upgrade Jetson Board using Host PC====
-This section provides the second method of upgrading the system.
-This method has the same goal as the method in the previous section, and one of the two can be chosen.
-This method is complicated and not recommended for Nano, Xavier, Orin.
-Specifically, for TX2 systems, only the methods in this section can be taken to upgrade.
-=====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>.
-<code>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/></code>
-<code>export L4T_DIR=$TOP_DIR/Linux_for_Tegra</code>
-*Build default image, flashing to Jetson Board, prepare L4T environment
-<code>cd $L4T_DIR</code>
-<code>sudo ./apply_binaries.sh</code>
-- Nano
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-devkit mmcblk0p1</code>
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-nano-2gb-devkit mmcblk0p1</code>
-''- TX2''
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-tx2 mmcblk0p1</code>
-''- TX2 NX(p3509-0000 carrier board)''
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-xavier-nx-devkit-tx2-nx mmcblk0p1</code>
-''- AGX Xavier''
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-xavier mmcblk0p1</code>
-''- Xavier NX Devkit''<code><nowiki/></code>
-<code>sudo ./flash.sh jetson-xavier-nx-devkit mmcblk0p1</code>
-=====Download our bsp package for Jetson=====
-<code>cd $L4T_DIR</code>
-<code>wget <nowiki>https://github.com/veyeimaging/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp/releases/latest/download/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz</nowiki></code>
-<code>tar -xzvf nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz</code>
-<code>export RELEASE_PACK_DIR=$L4T_DIR/nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp</code>
-=====Upgrade Image and DTB=====
-Extract the downloaded `nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp.tar.gz`, and locate the Image corresponding to the specific version.
-*Installing the Kernel
-Whether you use a prebuild kernel or you build it yourself
-''- Nano and TX2''
-copy Image to /boot/ dir on the Jetson Nano or TX2 board:
-<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image  /boot/Image -f</code>
-''- AGX Xavier and 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:
-<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image  /boot/Image -f</code>
-<code>sudo cp <path to your Image dir>/Image.sig  /boot/Image -f</code>
-<s>on the Host PC:</s>
-<code><s>cd $L4T_DIR</s></code>
-<code><s>sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel jetson-xavier mmcblk0p1</s></code>
-''<s>- Xavier NX</s>''
-<s>on the Host PC：</s>
-<code><s>cd $L4T_DIR</s></code>
-<code><s>sudo ./flash.sh -k kernel jetson-xavier-nx-devkit mmcblk0p1</s></code>
-*Flashing dtb file
-Enter the recovery mode，and on the Host PC:
-<code>cp <path to your dtb dir>/dtbfilename $L4T_DIR/kernel/dtb/ -f</code>
-<code>cd $L4T_DIR</code>
-- ''Nano''
-<code><s>sudo ./flash.sh -r -k DTB jetson-nano-qspi-sd mmcblk0p1</s></code>

 === FAQ and bug list ===
-==== Problem of system update not taking effect on a system with an SSD hard drive ====
-If an SSD hard drive is installed in a system and mounted on the / directory, it may cause regular system update operations (Image, ko, dtb) to be completely ineffective.
-The reason for this is that the board comes with an eMMC storage device, and the Image, ko, and dtb that take effect during the boot stage are stored in the eMMC.
-After the boot is completed, if the SSD hard drive is mounted on the / directory, it may cause the files stored on the eMMC to be inaccessible.
-The solution in this case is to manually mount the ''mmcblk0p1'' partition of the eMMC to a specific directory, and perform all system update operations based on this directory.
