Version and driver notes
Some IMX519 releases use the low-speed driver. They share the same support symbol; check the package documentation for supported modes and frame rates.
Match the camera variant, carrier board, L4T release, and kernel build. Check the system with head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release and uname -r.
JetPack names follow the NVIDIA archive. Asterisks identify BSP security updates: L4T 36.4.7 (JetPack 6.x) and L4T 32.5.2 (JetPack 4.5.x). DP means Developer Preview.
On Orin NX / Orin Nano with L4T 39.2.1, Jetvariety and arducam_4lane are test builds. IMX219 uses NVIDIA's built-in driver; IMX477 and IMX708 have released Arducam packages.
Packages for stereo, GMSL, and V3Link are separate variants. A blank cell means unconfirmed support. Package availability does not establish ongoing maintenance. Release assets were checked on October 28, 2026.

Native NVIDIA Jetson Cameras – IMX219/IMX477¶
Arducam provides IMX219 and IMX477 camera modules for NVIDIA Jetson. Its native camera series also includes IMX519 and IMX708 models. Driver installation and camera configuration depend on the sensor, Jetson platform, and L4T release; check the compatibility tables before choosing a package.
IMX219 uses the driver included with NVIDIA Jetson Linux. IMX477, IMX519, and IMX708 require the driver and device-tree configuration specified in their quick start guides.
Focus control also depends on the camera module. Fixed-focus modules may require manual lens adjustment. Supported motorized-focus IMX219 modules provide software control through the IMX219 examples.
See the native camera quick start for installation and capture instructions. The IMX477 driver directory and platform release links above provide additional driver resources.
Jetvariety Cameras¶
Jetvariety is Arducam's V4L2 camera-driver framework for supported Arducam MIPI camera modules. It lets compatible camera modules share a driver framework, reducing the need for separate sensor-driver development.
Use the camera module and adapter specified in its product guide. Image formats, ISP processing, trigger support, and lane requirements vary by camera. RAW modules may require processing in the application, while modules with an onboard ISP provide the formats documented for that module.
Start with the Jetvariety introduction and quick start guide. Cameras that specify arducam_4lane, GMSL, or V3Link require their corresponding driver entry.
Multi-Camera Solution¶
Arducam's multiplexing adapter can connect up to four compatible cameras to one CSI connector. Only one camera on that adapter is active at a time; software selects the camera through GPIO control. On a supported two-port setup, two adapters can provide connections for up to eight cameras.
For synchronized capture, use a camera kit designed for simultaneous operation and follow its connection and driver requirements. See the multi-camera guide for the available configurations.
PTZ Camera¶
PTZ stands for pan, tilt, and zoom. Compatible Arducam PTZ hardware adds motorized positioning and optical zoom/focus control to supported Jetson camera setups. Use the PTZ examples with the hardware specified in the PTZ guide.
