E-con Systems DepthVista_MIPI_IRD_940 doesn't work wiht AGX Orin Develeoper kit 64gb as LT4 35.1.0 / JP 5.0.2 can't be flashed

[fguerrero]

Hi,

I recently purchased a AGX Orin Develeoper kit 64gb, as well as an e-con Systems DepthVista_MIPI_IRD_940 camera.

I assumed compatibility as the camera website (3D ToF MIPI Camera for NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin / AGX Xavier) claims that it has been “designed for NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™” and e-con Systems is included as an Elite Jetson ecosystem partner by Nvidia (Jetson Ecosystem | NVIDIA Developer).

However, I can’t get the camera to work with L4T 35.3.1 and JP 5.1.1, and while the camera instructions mention that L4T 35.1.0 and JP 5.0.2 are required, the don’t support AGX Orin 64gb and therefore can’t be flashed.

Is there a way to get it to work that I am missing?

Thank you.

hello fguerrero,

that’s correct, AGX Orin 64GB start to support with l4t-r35.3.1
you may ping sensor vendor for the updated version sensor driver.

I would not have bought it if I had known. Right now its useful as a brick.
I contacted them last week by email and through the support site but no answer yet.

hello fguerrero,

AGX Orin 64GB are not list in support table with R35.2.1 and R35.1 release versions. and, it’s mentioned in R35.3.1 developer guide.

may I know what’s the real use-case?
how about running MMAPI sample applications with plug-n-play cameras, such as USB cameras to get familiar with the system before vendor get ready for the updated sensor driver.

Well this is the answer I received… I will have to wait or try to send it back it looks like.

Not sure how complex it would be adapting JP 5.0.2 for the 64GB version of the Jetson AGX Orin, but would be much easier as most of the cameras produced by NVIDIA partners are based on a previous version of JP.
Looking at the SDKmanager logs, the error seems to be that it is looking for a kernel file while installing JP 5.0.2 which is named in line on the board number (p3701-0005 vs. p3701-0000).

However, when installing JP 5.1.1 it looks like it is simply taking the file from the 32gb board, and looking in the folder ~\nvidia\nvidia_sdk\JetPack_5.1.1_Linux_JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS\Linux_for_Tegra\kernel\dtb (equivalent to the folder mentioned in the 5.0.2 flash error error) there is no file with 0005 in it.

Error code in log —17:02:40.231 - info: NV_L4T_FLASH_JETSON_LINUX_COMP@JETSON_AGX_ORIN_TARGETS: [ 2.6890 ] Kernel DTB used: kernel_tegra234-p3701-0000-p3737-0000.dtb

Could the solution be as simple as adjusting the code installing JP 5.0.2 so the kernel file is not named after the board being flashed but after the 32gb version as in the JP 5.1.1 installation script?

Sorry for the late response, have you managed to get issue resolved or still need the support? Thanks

[fguerrero]

They told me they will have the drivers for the latest JP this week, so should be close.

What would be useful beyond the use of this camera would be being able to flash the AGX Orin 64GB as if it was the 32GB version as in Emulation Flash Configurations — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation which apparently only works for the older AGX Orin 32GB Dev Kit.
