I am using the Arducam IMX219 camera (has native support) on Jetson Nano 32.7.1. The only way that I can access the nvargus-daemon (so gstreamer can use nvarguscamerasrc) is by a volume bind mount (/tmp/argus\_socket:/tmp/argus\_socket). I can’t figure out how to use this camera with balena as I can’t use these bindings, any suggestions or workarounds? Thank you!
