Updates the GMSL camera driver on a ZED Box, or the ZED Link card driver on a Jetson AGX Orin, to the Stereolabs release that matches the ZED SDK.
The ZED SDK needs a matching driver. A unit may ship from the factory with an older driver, and with a newer SDK that driver restarts the camera service during capture, which stops the camera stream mid-session. zed.driver removes the factory package and installs the pinned one, following Stereolabs’ procedure. provision runs this for you, so you rarely need to run it yourself.

​
When it does nothing

  • No stereolabs-zed* package is installed.
  • The installed driver is already at the pinned version or newer.
  • The Jetson’s L4T release doesn’t match the one the pinned driver was built for.
If a Stereolabs driver package is installed that isn’t in the table, zed.driver logs a warning and leaves it alone. The downloaded package must match a pinned SHA-256 checksum. If Stereolabs changes the file, zed.driver rejects it.
The new driver loads only at boot, so you must reboot after the update. Run by itself, zed.driver only prints a notice. axol provision, the installer and the axol serve updater reboot for you at a safe time. The updater waits until no operation is running.
