UNSOLVED MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M compatibility with Jetson Xavier NX, Orin NX

STiwana

Hi,
I am considering using VEYE cameras in a product line. Before I buy, I just want to clarify few things:

Can you confirm that MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M camera is supported by Jetson Jetpack 5.1 and 6.2? I ask because this camera is not listed on the wiki page:
https://wiki.veye.cc/index.php/Mv_series_camera_appnotes_4_jetson
I would prefer to get the adapter with the 22 pin RPi interface, which I believe is the ADP-MV1-V2 board. However, I don't see a purchase link. On the Aliexpress page for MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M, it is not clear if it ships with the ADP-MV1-V2 or ADP-MV1 version adapter.
On the Aliexpress page for MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M camera ( https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008643965893.html? ) if I choose the GMAX4002M ADP-MV1 variant, does it ship with the ADP-MV1-V2 variant of the adapter board? Also, is the C mount adapter included or do I need to buy separately?
Is there any issue or limitation I need to be aware of when using the MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M with Jetson Xavier NX and Jetson Orin NX? My application requires use in Freerunning and triggered modes, with using ROIs, and my application requires high frame rate (~200fps or more).
To me, this camera seems the best in high low-light sensitivity (big pixel size!). Is this a correct assumption among the Machine Vision or Raw series cameras?
What is the main difference between the MV series and RAW series cameras? I couldn't figure out the differences.

Sorry for the very long questions...I just want to make sure the camera fits my needs before I do any purchase.

Thansk and Best Regards,
Saad

The MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M model was missing on this page and has now been added. Both Jetpack 5.1 and 6.2 are supported. However, we currently only provide the 4-lane mode DTB for Orin NX and Orin Nano under JP6.2 mode, as only these two boards have official baseboards that expose the 4-lane interface.
You're right. Just place the order using that link. We will ship ADP-MV1-V2.
For Jetson Xavier NX, since the official baseboard only exposes 2 lanes, the DTB in our provided driver remains configured for 2-lane mode, which limits the maximum frame rate.
As for Orin NX, there is no such restriction. You can refer to the 4 How to Use 4-Lane Modesection to enable 4-lane mode.
yes.
The MV series products feature ISP (Image Signal Processor) capabilities, including typical functions such as auto-exposure, LUT (Look-Up Table), and more.

I purchased the MV-MIPI-GMAX4002M with the ADP-MV1-V2 adapter. I installed the Jetpack6.2,L4T r36.4.3 on the Jetson Orin NX 8gb. However, unfortunately I cannot install it using the GitHub repository "nvidia_jetson_veye_bsp". How can I proceed with the installation? Thank you very much!

Please refer to this article, mainly part 6.6, part 6.8, and part 8.

Thank you very much for the reply, it really helped! I followed the recommendations faithfully and successfully completed the installation. However, I'm facing a problem:

The camera generates an image with errors and very low fps, as shown in the attached image:

# When testing a custom kernel, it is recommended that you create a backup of

# fallback to the original kernel. To do this:
#
# 1, Make a backup of the original kernel
#      sudo cp /boot/Image /boot/Image.backup
#
# 2, Copy your custom kernel into /boot/Image
#
# 3, Uncomment below menu setting lines for the original kernel
#
# 4, Reboot

I only have one camera.

I'd be very happy if it worked well! Thank you very much.

Thanks for all the help!

@veye_xumm Good news, it's working!

I changed the port to "CAM1" (i2c-9).

I believe the "v0.1.1_jetson" files were essential for proper operation.

Thank you for your efforts in helping.
