Error using isaac_ros_argus_camera with e-CAM24_CUNX cameras

Hi, I have installed Jetpack 5.1.2 on a Xavier NX. I installed Isaac Ros and isaac_ros_argus_camera with the steps in ‘Install Isaac_ROS’:

Install Isaac_ROS.txt (5.3 KB)

I want to run isaac_ros_argus_camera with one e-CAM24_CUNX. I have successfully installed its drivers. I can run ecam_guvcview and access to both cameras.

Using this YAML (as .txt so i can upload it):

yaml.txt (712 Bytes)

With this launch file (as .txt so i can upload it):
isaac_ros_argus_camera_mono.launch.txt (1.6 KB)

When i run:
ros2 launch isaac_ros_argus_camera_mono.launch.py

I get:
Log.txt (32.4 KB)

I recently tested the same launch file with the same yaml file on an imx219 camera and it worked. What am I missing?

Thank you for your support.

Hi @joaofilfernandes

Thank you to write this post.

You are working with an old jetpack that is no longer maintained.
Please follow the documentation related: Getting Started — isaac_ros_docs documentation

Best,
Raffaello

Hi @Raffaello,

I can’t use a newer version because i’m using a Xavier NX board. In fact i’m using those instructions, but, because the binaries are no longer available, i’m building them from source.

Can you provide some guidance on how to get this working, given that i can’t use newer Jetpack versions.

Thank you for your support.

I’m running Jetpack 5.15 on our AGX Xavier systems. Checking the release notes for 5.15 says Xavier NX is supported:

NVIDIA JetPack 5.1.5 is a production quality release. It includes Jetson Linux 35.6.1 BSP with Linux Kernel 5.10, an Ubuntu 20.04–based root file system, a UEFI-based bootloader, and OP-TEE as Trusted Execution Environment.

This release supports all Jetson AGX Orin, Jetson Orin NX, Jetson Orin Nano, Jetson AGX Xavier and Jetson Xavier NX production modules as well as Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit, Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit, Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit, and Jetson Xavier NX Developer Kit.

Not sure if that will solve the argus camera issue but at least it’s more recent than 5.12

Also, if you let it update itself after the installation, it will further upgrade from Jetson Linux 35.6.1 to 35.6.2 automatically.
