IN DEVELOPMENT, DO NOT USE

We would like to use a Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera with a Jetson Orin Nano running JetPack 6.1.

This project backports Laurent Pinchart's camera driver from Linux 6.6 to Linux 5.15, and adds a device tree blob for the Orin.

Status: the driver compiles and links, but does not successfully load on the Orin Nano. There are certainly bugs in the device tree blob, and quite possibly bugs in the driver itself.

Driver History

• Laurent Pinchart added a driver for the Sony IMX296 sensor to the Linux kernel on 5-Feb-2023. See commit. This was released in Linux kernel version 6.3.
• The driver is present in Raspbian Bookworm (Linux kernel 6.6) and supports the Raspberry Pi Global Shutter Camera.
• The driver is also present in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 22.04.5 LTS (HWE)

Build and Install

Use the framework and instructions in vc-jetson-driver-release to build and install the driver.

The CMakeLists.txt file is used by CLion to aid development. It is not sufficient to build the driver.
