IMX577 Driver support

[tirankas]

Hello guys,
Wondering if we have the IMX577 driver support for the Jetson Nano/Xavier.
I didn't find anything...

Thanks

Hey @tirankas
Linux-tegra version 4.9 doesn't include driver IMX577, maybe you have to ask the provider of the Camera.
In general when you buy a camera you can have the Linux driver with.

Thanks @ichergui
Well, this is usually the case but not here, camera vendor doesn't provide any driver in this case.I would probably end up taking the driver from the vanilla kernel and modify DT per the Jetson.

@tirankas You might want to consider working with one of the NVIDIA camera partners for this.

I know the partner approach and we were working with one previously using the ar1335 sensor...
However, given their price tag for a module and given the sensor price (160$ for a module whole sensor costs 10$ max), this is not an option...
Frankly, I don't understand where the price delta comes from, the module is so so simple, I don't understand where this comes from.
We are building on hundreds of thousands of sensors in our roadmap and the price difference is huge!
