B0573 GMSL2 Stereo Camera — No video output on Jetson Orin Nano 8GB / JetPack 6.2.1 (L4T R36.4.4) #217

Description

@lmtdcrew

Hardware:
• Camera: Arducam B0573 Sync Stereo GMSL2 Bundle
• Deserializer: UC-C44 Rev.E
• Jetson: Orin Nano 8GB Developer Kit
• JetPack: 6.2.1 / L4T R36.4.4
• Kernel: 5.15.148-tegra-36.4.4-20250616085344

What I tried:

  1. install_full.sh -m arducam_gmsl
    arducam_gmsl_links.txt contains no entries for Orin Nano — only AGX Orin. Script fails with “Cannot find the corresponding deb package.”
  2. install_full.sh -m imx219_gmsl

    Driver installs but fails at boot: (Errors below)
    imx219 9-0010: imx219_board_setup: error during i2c read probe (-121)
    imx219 9-0010: board setup failed
    imx219 10-0010: board setup failed

    No /dev/video0 created.
  3. install_full.sh -m arducam_4lane
    Driver installs, /dev/video0 created. v4l2-ctl reports UYVY and NV16 formats at 3840x1200, 2560x720, 1280x480 — but no framerates listed. GStreamer reports “No input source was detected - video frames invalid.” Solid green screen output.
    I2C scan on bus 9:
    • 0x42 — MAX9296A deserializer (present)
    • 0x4c — camera sensor (present)

Hardware connections confirmed: CSI flex cable into CAM1, GPIO connector into pins 1-6 on 40-pin header, FAKRA coax into RXA.

Question:
What is the correct driver module for the B0573 on Jetson Orin Nano 8GB with L4T R36.4.4? The box explicitly states “GMSL for NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano/NX” — is there a working deb package for this kernel, or is a device tree overlay required?
