This repository contains was adapted from usb_cam to run Arducam AR0234 camera's on a Jetson Xavier NX. The AR0234 camera supports mono and Bayer 10-bit output in this layout. The driver applies debayering and conversion to RGB8 and outputs the raw image as a ros topic.
In order to run the cameras on the Jetson Xavier NX, the Arducam quickstart guide needs to be followed. Mainly the following steps:
1. wget https://github.com/ArduCAM/MIPI_Camera/releases/download/v0.0.3/install_full.sh
2. chmod +x install_full.sh
3. ./install_full.sh -m arducam
4. apt-get install v4l-utils
TODO: Is the spi group actually needed? Or gpio?
OpenCV >=4.9.0 is required in order to run the debayering process. An installation scripts inside .devcontainer is provided as help on how to compile it from source.
