Entron F008A030BM0A camera

Hi!
Guys, i want to use this camera with new release of driveworks
Entron F008A030BM0A
What is camera-type for it?
Thanks!

Hi mikelb2k0,
the Driveworks 2.2 SAL supported camaera-type strings are mentioned here:
https://docs.nvidia.com/driveworks/camera_mainsection.html

although the Entron F008A030BM0A camera is supported camea hw following here:

Hi!
Frankly, i am confused.
If NVIDIA documentation said that specific Sensor (Camera in that case) is supported, my expectation is that it has SAL for it. But what you are saying is that i have to implement it by myself. What does “support” means in that case?
Also, i was digging in binary files and i have found that some cameras with AR0820 sensor are supported, for example this driver exists: ar0820-rccb-bae-f008a030bm0a.
So, i think, documentation you sent is not up-to-date https://docs.nvidia.com/driveworks/camera_mainsection.html because it is not mentioned there.
Thanks!

Hi mikelb2k0,

you are right, this section of camera is not up-to-date:
https://docs.nvidia.com/driveworks/camera_mainsection.html

the string “ar0820-rccb-bae-f008a030bm0a” as you wrote is the camera-type one to use for your camera.

can you confirm that now you are able to communicate with your camera?

Hi!
Thanks for timely responses, you, guys, do good job.

No, it does not work
Here are experiments i did so far:

Here, it seems that DW creates a new string from parameters but cannot find that string in driver list

Camera params:
“output-format=yuv,fifo-size=3,camera-type=ar0820-rccb-bae-f008a030bm0a,
camera-mask=0001,camera-group=a,slave=0,required-framerate=30,camera-count=1”

Another aspect that i was trying to understand is if this camera is enabled thru SIPL?
If it is correct, than protocol should be defined with camera.gmsl.master & camera.gmsl.slave
And if it is true, where can i find an example for such configuration?
So, i tried SIPL configuration but still failed

Hi Mikelb2k0,

we are investigating is internally and will update soon.

Hi!
Very well, i will really appreciate quick response in the next couple of days.
Thanks!

Hi mikelb2k0,

The string “ar0820-rccb-bae-f008a030bm0a” you found in the binaries is not enabled in the public release.

Can you please file a bug on this request so we can help support you.

We are working on revising DRIVE Ecosystem - Hardware and Software | NVIDIA Developer to be more accurate. It will be clear what is supported in the general availability releases versus what is supported under special support.
We would expect an update to the website in January.

Hi mikelb2k0,

Were you able to open a bug on this issue? Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

Hi!
Sorry, guys, was very busy. How do i file such a bug?
Thanks!

Please submit the bug via https://developer.nvidia.com/ → “My account” (My Profile | NVIDIA Developer) → “My Bugs” → “Submit a New Bug” (https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia_bug/add). Thanks!

Hey,

January went by a while ago, I am still not sure how to tell if the camera driver is enabled. We struggle with the same issue here, same camera.

Hi @andre.a.bauer,

You can refer to “contact” column in the tables at DRIVE Ecosystem - Hardware and Software | NVIDIA Developer to know from whom to get the associated software/drivers for the supported releases. Thanks!
