Description
NOTE:
This camera is mainly designed for the Jetson Nano. It can also be used on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (like CM3, CM3+), but is not compatible with standard Raspberry Pi models (like Raspberry Pi 3/3B+/4).
Overview
Arducam just released this High Quality camera module for Jetson Nano/Xavier NX/Raspberry Pi Compute Module CM4, CM3, an IMX477 camera board with 3 hole pitches, a 6mm CS lens. The customers can use this camera module on Jetson Nano/Xavier NX natively with hardware ISP features, just install the driver and you are good to go. Learn More about Arducam IMX477 Jetson Cameras or other Arducam cameras for Jetson.
Currently, NVIDIA official has released the NVIDIA Jetson Orin series developer board. Based on it, we have also adapted the camera into NVIDIA Jetson Orin kernel.
⚠️ NOTE ON THE IMX477 MIPI LANES
Our IMX477 camera module support 4-lane in hardware, but the 4-lane camera driver requires extra customization. Here is why:
- Standard Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano/Xavier NX can’t physically support a 4-lane connection (both of them only have 2-lane CSI connectors). Only the Raspberry Pi Compute Module and some 3rd party Jetson Carrier Boards come with 4-lane hardware support. Therefore, it’s not a general need.
- Extra works, specifically camera drivers, are required for a 4-lane connection other than the 4-lane physical connector. And the drivers are limited by the performances of the platform itself. For example, 4-lane can’t unlock 4k video on Raspberry Pi because the VideoCore does not currently support it. Jetson Nano is also to some extent limited because of the encoding capabilities. You need to make sure you really need it.
⚠️ NOTE ON THE SUPPORTED PLATFORM
- This camera is released for official Jetson Nano/Xavier NX boards by default, and it does not support other third-party boards.
