Cannot use gstreamer with CSI camera. V4L works fine

alexander.soklev · December 2, 2023, 8:07pm

We bring up a camera for an AGX Xavier system and we encountered a strange issue.
The camera is working and we can stream with it using v4l-ctl. Tried to capture RAW and visualized it - all seems good.

However when I try to open a stream with Gstreamer, I get error and the stream wont start.

These are the messages I get in syslog:

Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am using Jetson AGX Xavier with L4T 35.4.1

How have you connected your camera to the jetson device?
What is the interface frame grabber card you have used on the carrier board?

alexander.soklev · December 3, 2023, 7:32am

I am using Leopard Imaging carrier board with GMSL link.
It’s based on this system, but using a different camera module:

nagesh_accord · December 3, 2023, 3:55pm

Have you installed the drivers successfully for this card?

alexander.soklev · December 3, 2023, 5:02pm

Yes, as far as I am concerned.

Running this command:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=240 --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1944

I get the sensor to stream

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 29.83 fps

I can grab a raw frame like this:

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=test.raw --verbose --set-fmt-video=width=2592,height=1944

And this reads a valid frame (example below of cropped part of the frame):

So I am a bit puzzled why gst-launch fails in this situation.

hello alexander.soklev,

is your device tree settings has identical settings with your physical camera connections?
please also check tegra-camera-platform{}, you may review Module Properties settings.
