TLDR: I cam0 doesn’t seem to work with an imx477 on the J401, any help before I just return them all for a refund would be appreciated.
I have a Jetson Orin Nano 4GB, Seeed J401 carrier board, and two Raspberry Pi HQ cameras. Both the cameras have been modified to remove R8 and they both work when connected to CAM1, but not CAM0.
Image installed is the Jetpack 6.2 release from the J401 installation guide.
Install info:

I have used the jetson-io tool to configure the CSI ports, and the following is the listing from dmesg which looks like it’s loading both cameras fine when they are both connected.

I had dmesg --follow in a serparate window and no errors were thrown either.
If anyone can help with this I’d greatly appreciate it, I’m ready to can the whole project at this point as it’s been nothing but problems and the switch to jetson has only made things worse.
