Description
NOTE:
This camera is released for official Jetson Nano/Xavier NX boards. It can also be used on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (like CM3, CM3+) , but it does not support the standard Raspberry Pi models (like Raspberry Pi 3/3B+/4) and other third-party boards.
By default, the examples reset the focus as you quit the program or power off. To fix the focus, please alter the example code on your own.
Overview
This Arducam IMX219AF camera module is designed mainly for the NVIDIA Jetson Nano platform and also can be used on other hardware like ARM, DSP, FPGA, etc.
The highlight of this camera is that the lens focus is programmable by software, and the Arducam team provides an opensource code to implement software autofocus features on the Jetson Nano.
