Arducam IMX219 Wide Angle Camera Module for Jetson Nano & Pi Compute Modules

No, this specific camera module is designed for the MIPI CSI-2 interface found on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module series (CM3, CM3+, CM4) and the NVIDIA Jetson Nano developer kit. It is not directly compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, which uses a different physical connector. You would need a compatible MIPI CSI-2 host board or adapter for use with the Pi 4.

First, connect the module's 15-pin FPC cable to the MIPI CSI-2 connector on the Jetson Nano carrier board. Ensure the connector latch is securely closed. Power on the system and access the terminal. You will need to configure the device tree to enable the IMX219 sensor. This typically involves modifying or creating a configuration file (like a .dtb overlay) for the camera, then rebooting. Refer to Arducam's or NVIDIA's official documentation for the exact commands and overlay file specific to the IMX219 on the Jetson platform.

Yes, the lens is mounted in a standard M12 (S-mount) thread. You can unscrew the provided 175-degree lens and replace it with another M12 lens of a different focal length or field of view, provided the new lens is designed for a 1/4-inch sensor format. This allows flexibility for applications requiring telephoto, standard, or macro perspectives without changing the core sensor module.
