Overview

The scripts in this project build and install the Allied Vision MIPI camera driver to the NVIDIA Jetson boards.

Compatible platforms with JetPack 5.0 DP (L4T 34.1.0) :

  • AGX Xavier NVIDIA developer kit (including optional use of Allied Vision's adapter for up to 6 cameras)
  • Xavier NX NVIDIA developer kit
  • Xavier NX on Auvidea JNX30-PD for Alvium cameras with FPD Link interface.

Install Alvium MIPI driver

Method A: Use precompiled binaries

Install the precompiled kernel, which includes the driver and an installation menu.

  1. Extract the tarball on a host PC.
    The tarball contains helper scripts and another tarball with the precompiled binaries named AlliedVision_NVidia_L4T_34.1.0_.tar.gz.

  2. Copy the tarball to the target board.

  3. On the target board, extract the tarball and run the included install script.

  4. Proceed with selecting options from the installation menu as described below.

Method B: Cross-compile binaries from source

The scripts require a host PC with Ubuntu (we recommend version 18.04).

Download sources and scripts from https://github.com/alliedvision/linux_nvidia_jetson to the host PC.

On the host PC:

  1. Execute ./build.py -b <xavier>
    Use "xavier" for AGX Xavier, NX Xavier, and AGX Orin.

  2. Copy the tarball to the target board.

On the target board:

Extract the tarball and run the included install script.
The script includes an installation menu, please use the option for your hardware:

  • Option none: The Allied Vision camera driver is not loaded during bootup. To load the driver, reboot the board.

  • For NX Xavier and AGX Orin, select option devkit.
    For Xavier AGX, select the option 2 cameras or 6 cameras.

Reboot the board. Now you can use the driver.

To change the configuration after the driver was installed, enter:

dpkg-reconfigure avt-nvidia-l4t-bootloader

Reboot the board to apply the changes.
