Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 & driver features

The Raspberry Pi Camera V3 camera module (IMX708) is compatible with the Jetson Orin Nano developer kit from NVIDIA. The IMX708 is a cost-effective camera module capable of capturing a resolution higher than 4K. Table 1 shows a few interesting characteristics of the camera module. The driver developed by RidgeRun has the specifications shown in Table 2. If you need to extend the driver to meet your project needs, feel free to contact us.
