Notes and version constraints

• Exact command behavior may vary by Jetson Nano firmware version; verify the version before deployment.
• If the test screen shows a reddish image, the camera_overrides.isp profile must be installed; this requires sudo rights and a connected HDMI/DP monitor.
• The combination of analog and digital gain depends on the ISP; consult driver documentation for unusual values.
• Use with Raspberry Pi 5 requires the supplied 22-pin cable; compatibility with other boards is not fully documented in the source.
• The '77° FOV' in the product name differs slightly from the parameter sheet (79.3°); confirm which value is authoritative with the manufacturer.
