Driver works when manually load kernel module, but not when compiled in kernel image

[mattcarp12]

I followed the instructions here to compile and update the kernel image and device tree to work with the IMX477. I also compiled the 477 driver as a kernel module.

When I use the kernel image with the driver compiled in the camera does not work. I get the "camera not found" error when running nvgstcapture.

However when I use the original kernel image, patched DTB, and kernel module, the camera works perfectly.

I would prefer to have the kernel image with the driver included so I don't need to load the module. Any tips on how to troubleshoot this?

@mattcarp12 we are using the driver built in in the kernel and not as module, so we have confirmed it works. Please try to follow the instructions one more time to see if you have missed a step. You can even try the debians method which is more straightforward and uses the driver built in the kernel
