Basler daA4200 30mci CSI/MIPI camera cannot be opened using nvgstcapture-1.0 in Jetson Nano 2gb

vincenthmcheng · April 21, 2021, 2:34am

My board is Jetson Nano 2gb,

I buy a Basler daA4200 30mci CSI/MIPI camera
After installing the driver provided by basler(i.e. basler-dart-bcon-mipi-cep_1.0-for-nvidia-jetson-l4t-32.4)
I can successfully open the camera via basler pylon viewer.

However, when I would like to access the camera via the tools nvgstcapture-1.0, I got the follow error:

===========================================================

Is that basler camera cannot be access via Nvidia API?
Thank you for your help.

Below message tell the dts file have problem report the camera device to camera framework(Argus),
I would suggest consult with vendor to get the root cause.

For the dts file,
since in basler driver package, there is no proper dts for nano2gb, I change the one for nano, as follows:

Check the context under the tegra-camera-platform{}

vincenthmcheng · April 21, 2021, 9:30am

You mean I need to add something like this to the above dts file?

tegra-camera-platform {
    compatible = "nvidia, tegra-camera-platform";
    modules {
        module0 {
            badge = "imx185_bottom_liimx185";
            position = "bottom";
            orientation = "0";
            drivernode0 {
                pcl_id = "v4l2_sensor";
                devname = "imx185 30-001a";
                proc-device-tree =
      "/proc/device-tree/i2c@3180000/tca9546@70/i2c@0/imx185_a@1a";
            };
        };
    };
};

ShaneCCC · April 21, 2021, 10:14am

Yes, need add imx219 to it.
