Setup Orin NX for using with FRAMOS-IMX415-C

This guide aims to highlight the correct procedure to configure the setup for using the FRAMOS-IMX415 cameras with the Orin NX from Nvidia + Boson for FRAMOS carrier from ConnectTech.

Info

Be sure that the Jetpack installation procedure up to the BSP installation on the setup has been completed. At this point we are ready to flash the image.

Flash the image

In the host:

  1. Navigate into /nvidia/nvidia_sdk_JetPack_5.1.2_Linux_JETSON_ORIN_NX_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra
  2. Run the flash script (as root or sudo):
sudo ./cti-nvme-flash.sh cti/orin-nx/boson/fsm-imx415-2cam
  1. Once the flash has completed, the board will reboot.

Check out the ConnectTech tutorial explaining the complete procedure.

Complete the OEM installation

After booting into the OS, follow the OEM installation with the default options.

Set the user name to ergocub with the hostname ergocub-head. Allow login without password and let the installation process finish.

After rebooting into the graphical OS, run the following commands in a terminal to update the system:

sudo apt install -f
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
reboot

Switch profile on Orin NX

After the reboot process:

  1. Open a new terminal on the Orin NX and run sudo cti-orin-nx-nano-fdt.sh
  2. Follow the interactive procedure and select Orin NX, then Boson NGX007 and finally the profile for the FRAMOS IMX415 cameras, i.e. fsm-imx415-2cam

  3. Once the script exits, run sync and reboot to finalize the changes.

    post-flash

Post-flashing operations

Install FRAMOS drivers

From the FRAMOS Resource Center, download the proper software by selecting the following entries:

framos-sw

Unzip the file in the folder you prefer, then navigate into and run:

sudo apt install ./framos-libsv_*_arm64.deb

As soon as the installation procedure has finished, please power off the Orin NX. Then plug-in your cameras to the CAM1 and CAM2 connectors, and finally power on the board again.

Warning

During the flashing procedure, the profile fsm-imx415-2cam has been selected, which means that two cameras could be used with this configuration. For this reason, only CAM1 and CAM2 connectors are enabled to read the data from the FRAMOS-IMX415, while CAM3 and CAM4 are not. Please, be sure that they are properly connected.

Check if the cameras are detected running ls /dev/video* from the command line.
