CSI-MIPI Cam Module for direct connection with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX available?

Hello @all,

I am searching for an embedded camera module from Luxonis which can be directly connected to a NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Carrier Board with support for Linux (L4T) - is there anything available there?

Thanks in advance

If you have a custom board, then you will probably need to do some kernel modifications and recompile it to be compatible with your camera.

My team was trying to do this with Auvidea JNX42, but we ended up with oak-ffc-3p because the makers of the camera must provide their camera drivers for you to customize.

That's what I know for now 🙁

Thanks a lot, we also want to go with a JNX42 but I am not yet familiar with kernel modifications and as you already mentioned it is important to get support from the manufacturer of camera/imager.

Luxonis camera modules made by Arducam can be connected directly to the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano/NX as they have same 22-pin interface.

About the drivers, you can take a look at their repository.

Drivers from Arducam works only with original dev boards, and for Orin NX there is not available.
Because if you want to have original dev board from Nvidia you need to buy Jetson Orin Nano with dev board and swap Orin Nano with NX.

If you set up NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX with JNX42-M2 in NVIDIA SDKManager (select Orin NX Devkit), the Arducam driver can be installed. But I do not know if there are disadvamtages with JNX42 using this kind of setup…
