OpenNI compatibility with CSI-2 connection?

[tdam2112]

I have a camera connected on a Jetson AGX Xavier via CSI-2 port, It is my understanding that it should be compatible with OpenNI but I'm not sure how to make it recognisable.
I'm running ROS Melodic on ubuntu 18.04 with OpenNI installed and all the drivers for the camera installed as well
I get the following error when running openni.launch:
[ INFO] [1583882602.306930315]: No devices connected.... waiting for devices to be connected

any idea of what could be done to establish the connection?
