    @TomP , ok no problem. I can add rotated sensormodules to our release and send you a copy. One more question - can you please provide me exact sensormodule name for imx412 that you have in /usr/lib/camera ?

    @Alex-Kushleyev The most current file name in the list in the directory is com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_flip_2.bin.

    We have ordered and installed this camera:

    Image Sensor 4k High-resolution, Low-light Sensor for VOXL® (Starvis IMX412 w/ micro-coax & M12-style Lens) (MSU-M0161)

      @TomP , actually there is already non-flip version in /etc/modalai/chi-cdk/imx412 . You can just use the sensormodule from that location with the same slot id (index at the end of sensormodule). Back up the current sensormodule (move it out of /usr/lib/camera/ or rename to .bak) and put the new one in the same location.

              @Alex-Kushleyev hey ,I had the same issue, I tried following the steps mentioned above, still the video stream rotation was not successful.
              When i tried to replace the file in usr/lib/camera with the file in chi-cdk, it gave the error of hires not starting and no video. The default file in usr/lib/camera was for fpv. I tried to change it with normal imx412 file, it gave error i mentioned above.
              Also the hires ID is 1.

                @Jetson-Nano ,

                What was the error that you saw when you tried the rotated non-FPV driver for IMX412?

                  These are the files available
                  Screenshot from 2025-09-22 10-18-41.png

                  IMX412 has four options IMX412 , IMX412-flip , IMX412-fpv, IMX412-fpv-flip

                  IMX412-fpv is the only folder which contained option for camera 1 , other folders there was no option for camera number 1, so i created it by copy a file from that folder and renaming it for camera 1, I would like to know whether it was the right approach.
                  The highlighted option in the following images are the files I created.

                  While running with with file form any of the three other options other than the imx412-fpv the camera was not detected .

                  Screenshot from 2025-09-22 10-26-45.png

                  I copied the file from the /usr/share/chi-cdk/imx412 *** to the /usr/lib/camera/ folder, after while I try to run the camera server, only the tracking and TOF is recognised, I don't know what is the error.
                  I am using the configuration 27 for camera setup, but I am only using 1 tracking, 1 hires and 1 TOF.
                  Hires is the camera 1

                    @Jetson-Nano , I just posted the latest drivers for IMX412 in the following location, which includes the normal and rotated drivers : https://storage.googleapis.com/modalai_public/temp/imx412_test_bins/20250919/imx412_fpv_eis_20250919_drivers.zip

                    Please note that if you are using MISP, the rotated drivers will have the reversed bayer order (BGGR and not RGGB), so you will need to let MISP know about that by using the following parameter in voxl-camera-server.conf (otherwise your red and blue colors will be flipped):

                    "bayer_type" : "bggr"
                    

                    If the bayer type parameter does not fix the color order, then you will need to update voxl-camera-server, so that it includes the following commit : https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-camera-server/-/commit/a58128d3da61c3aea19d6db6c22e7176a04ae1db

                    If you are using the ISP output, then it will know the bayer pattern type directly from the sensormodule file, so you do not need to add the bayer_type parameter.

                    To answer your question about renaming sensormodules - changing the name does not change its functionality. The slot IDs are part of the sensormodule, not the name, so you cannot create a new sensormodule by just renaming the file to switch the camera slot ID.

                    Please try the new drivers and if you are still having issues, please do the following:

                    • disable all the cameras except for your imx412 (in camera config)
                    • share your camera config section for the IMX412 camera
                    • share the output of the camera server when you run it

                        @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for sharing the files and the support, I was able to flip the video by using the flip file for camera 1. Now it is working fine.
