CSI camera pipeline failure on Xavier NX

I am trying to run a GStreamer pipeline to grab frames from an Arducam CSI camera module. Please see the pipeline below.

gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=1280, height=720" ! nvvidconv ! fakesink

Experiencing the below error

/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstNvArgusCameraSrc:nvarguscamerasrc0.GstPad:src: caps = video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1280, height=(int)720, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)21/1

Am I missing anything here.?

Do you confirm the sensor driver by v4l2-ctl?

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=RG10 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap

Hi Shane,
These are the camera details using v4l2-ctl. It is using ‘tegra-video’ driver

$ v4l2-ctl --info -d0

Your command is producing the following console output

ubuntu@gpucoder-hyd-xaviernx-1:~$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1280,height=720,pixelformat=RG10 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap

Try below command.

gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=1280, height=720, framerate=(fraction)21/1" ! nvvidconv ! fakesink
