IMX219 on CAM1 needs the Camera IMX219-C overlay
A CSI camera that shows up as nothing on JetPack 6.1 is usually a missing device-tree overlay, not dead hardware.
Plugged an IMX219 into CAM1 (port C) on the Orin Nano dev kit. No /dev/video0, no errors that pointed anywhere useful.
The fix: the Camera IMX219-C device-tree overlay wasn't selected. Enable it via jetson-io, reboot, and the node appears.
Worth checking before you assume the ribbon cable is in backwards.
