MIPI CSI-2 Camera Driver Development for NVIDIA Jetson Platforms
We provide turnkey, production-grade Linux MIPI CSI-2 camera driver stacks tailored for NVIDIA Jetson (Orin, Xavier, Nano, TX series). Supporting any sensor vendor (Sony, OmniVision, etc.), we deliver the complete solution: V4L2 sub-device drivers, tegra-camera-platform registration, device-tree overlays, precise power sequencing, link-frequency tuning, virtual-channel handling, multi-camera synchronization, RAW8–16 capture, libArgus/NVCSI ISP bring-up, NVC/LSC/EEPROM calibration, and full JetPack flashing/production packages optimized for your exact carrier board. NVIDIA Jetson platforms use a unified MIPI CSI-2 camera architecture based on the Tegra CSI controller, jetson-io utility, and libargus/Argus camera stack.
- AGX Orin, Orin NX, AGX Xavier, Xavier NX – up to 16 lanes & 6+ cameras
- jetson-io, Argus tuning plugins, SDK Manager/nvflash deployment
- Sony FCB-EV series (EV9500L, EV9520L, etc.) native-to-MIPI conversion fully supported
- One driver package – tested on your hardware, delivered with build scripts and production flashing instructions.
The MIPI driver is the cornerstone that connects any external sensor to NVIDIA’s powerful ISP and deep-learning pipelines. It is implemented as a V4L2 sub-device in kernel/drivers/media/i2c, registered via the tegra-camera-platform module in the device tree, and paired with sensor-specific ISP tuning plugins (.so). Device-tree overlays precisely define CSI port indexing, data-lanes (1/2/4), clock-lane polarity, link-frequencies, cil-settle-time, and tegra-csi-pad configuration. Power sequencing, calibration binaries (NVC/LSC/EEPROM), and flashing are all tied to the driver package built with JetPack/L4T and deployed via SDK Manager or nvme/nvflash.
