Stereolabs Embedded Computers Drivers

Latest Release : v1.4.2

May 11th 2026

The latest Stereolabs Driver package allows you to support a wide range of ZED X camera configurations, all from a single, unified installer. Easy to install, plug-and-play while still highly adaptable, the ZED X Drivers gets you up and running in minutes.

What's new in v1.4.2 ?

Bug fixes

Fix IMU stalling for |delta| seconds after a backward clock_settime() on CLOCK_REALTIME (NTP/PTP step or manual date change): the bmi_spsc hrtimer was bound to CLOCK_REALTIME while its absolute deadline was computed from ktime_get_ns() (monotonic); rebind the timer to CLOCK_MONOTONIC so the two domains match and the sample cadence is immune to wall-clock jumps.

New Features & Improvements :

ZED X Nano Support
Add new v4l2 control for offline calibration
Add bandwidth error flag to sysfs
