1.3.5. Camera Driver Installation#
This process should be performed on the RQX-59G.
Step 1: Download the Driver
Open a terminal on the RQX-59G and run the following command to download the driver package.
wget https://github.com/tier4/tier4_automotive_hdr_camera/releases/download/v2.2.0/tier4-camera-gmsl_2.2.0_arm64.deb
Step 2: Install the Driver
Execute the following command in the directory where the downloaded .deb file is located to install the package.
sudo apt install ./tier4-camera-gmsl_*.deb
Step 3: Configure the Device Tree
Note
For advanced configurations, including how to connect a combination of different camera types, please refer to the camera driver’s GitHub page.
After installing the driver, you need to generate a custom .dtb file to define the assignment of cameras for each GMSL port. Run the command corresponding to your camera type:
C1
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/config-by-hardware.py -n 2="TIERIV GMSL2 Camera Device Tree Overlay: C1x8"
C2
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/config-by-hardware.py -n 2="TIERIV GMSL2 Camera Device Tree Overlay: C2x8"
C3
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/config-by-hardware.py -n 2="TIERIV GMSL2 Camera Device Tree Overlay: C3x8"
C1-MP
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/config-by-hardware.py -n 2="TIERIV GMSL2 Camera Device Tree Overlay: C1MPx8"
C2-MP
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/config-by-hardware.py -n 2="TIERIV GMSL2 Camera Device Tree Overlay: C2MPx8"
Step 4: Restart the System
To apply the device tree changes, power off the system and turn it back on.
sudo shutdown -h now
(After the RQX-59G has completely shut down, press the power button to restart it.)
1.3.6. Verify Camera Recognition#
Open a terminal and run the following command to verify that the cameras are recognized as V4L2 devices. If the number of video devices matches the number of connected cameras, the camera recognition check is complete.
ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0
/dev/video1
