This wiki provides information about enabling the Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1 (IMX219) driver on the Jetson Orin NX developer kit. The information provided was tested on:
<pre>
* JetPack: 5.1.1
* Jetson Linux: 35.3.1
* One IMX219 Rapsberry Pi camera module V2.1
</pre>

The Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1 camera module (IMX219) is compatible with the Jetson Orin NX developer kit from NVIDIA. The camera module can be attached to the Orin NX developer kit using an adapter to convert the 15-pin MIPI CSI output of the camera module to the 22-pin MIPI CSI camera input of the Orin NX. The converter can look like the following images:

In order to enable the driver support, you need to run a Python script that comes with JetPack 5.1.1 under release L4T 35.3.1. The script can be executed with the following command: 
<pre>
sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py
</pre>

Then, a menu will appear. Follow the options below in order to enable the IMX219 support for two cameras:

<pre>
-> Configure Jetson 24pin CSI Connector 
-> Configure for compatible hardware 
-> Camera IMX219 Dual 
-> Save pin changes 
-> Save and reboot to reconfigure pins
</pre>

After the board is rebooted, you can try to run the following command:

<pre>
v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --stream-mmap --stream-count=300 -d /dev/video0
</pre>

This command will start streaming from camera port 0 (cam0). If you want to check the camera port 1 (cam1), change the video device to video1. After running the command you must see the next output in your terminal window:

<pre>
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
</pre>

At this point you should be able to capture successfully.
