IMX219-170 8 Megapixels Applicable for Jetson Nano Camera

IMX219 Camera, 800 megapixels and 170 FOV. Compatible with Jetson nano. You can also use it with CM3/CM3+ expansion boards like Raspberry Pi Compute Module IO board, Compute Module IO Board Plus, Compute Module POE Board of Waveshare and the StereoPi board.

Test with Jetson Nano

Hardware connection

Connect the camera to the CSI interface of Jetson Nano. Set the metal side of the FFC into Heat-sink
Connect an HDMI LCD to Jetson Nano

Software setting

Power on Jetson Nano and open the Terminal (Ctrl+ALT+T)
Test camera with the command:

DISPLAY=:0.0 gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3280, height=2464, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)20/1’ ! nvoverlaysink -e

Test dual-camera
IF you want to test dual cameras with the B01 Developer Kit. You can just add sensor-id=x to the pipeline. x can be 0 or 1.

test video0

DISPLAY=:0.0 gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3280, height=2464,
format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)20/1’ ! nvoverlaysink -e

test video1

DISPLAY=:0.0 gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=1 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3280, height=2464,
format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)20/1’ ! nvoverlaysink -e

If you find that the image captured is reddish. You can try to download .isp file and installed:

wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/e/eb/Camera_overrides.tar.gz
tar zxvf Camera_overrides.tar.gz
sudo cp camera_overrides.isp /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/
sudo chmod 664 /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/camera_overrides.isp
sudo chown root:root /var/nvidia/nvcam/settings/camera_overrides.isp

Test with Compute Module

The IMX219 series can be used with Compute Module series of Raspberry Pi with carriers. And the usage are same as other Raspberry Pi cameras

Becuase of the encropytoin, the IMX219 series cameras cannot be used with Raspberry Pi board like the Raspberry Pi 4B, please note it.

Connect the camera to Compute Module Carrier board ( like Compute Module 4 PoE Board), please take care of the direction.
Open a terminal and configure the camera

sudo raspi-config

Select Interfacing Options - > Camera -> Yes

Reboot
Test the camera with command:

sudo raspistill -t 0

For more information about commands for camera, please refer to this guides: Application guides of Raspberry Pi camera
