SIPL Device Block Camera Device Drivers

Device Block Core uses Device Block Camera Device Drivers to program external devices. A Device Block Camera Device Driver is a shared library in the form libnvsipl_devblk_drv_*.so that is used to program a specific type of camera module. Device Block Core selects which Device Block Camera Device Driver(s) to use based on the names of the camera modules that are attached to each GMSL link of the deserializer.

At runtime, Device Block Core searches the paths defined in the environment variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the first directory named nvsipl_drv and opens all Device Block Camera Device Drivers in it. This allows you to add support for more devices by adding third-party Device Block Camera Device Drivers to the nvsipl_drv directory.
