Error when compiling Basler Camera Sample code on Jetson TX1

Hi all,

I installed Basler’s driver (http://www.baslerweb.com/en/support/downloads/software-downloads?type=28&series=0&model=0) for ARM (hardware float) according to the instructions in the INSTALL file.

Unfortunately when I try to run make in order to compile the samples in the ./Samples/C++ directory, I get the following error:

Any thoughts on what to do to properly compile everything?

Which L4T release are you using ?

head -1 /etc/nv_tegra_release

Not sure about this, but it looks you’ve installed a 32 bits armhf library while you are on a TX1. This is more targeted to TK1. Older versions of L4T for TX1 have been using 32 bits userland, but the linker message makes me thinking to 32bits library not suitable for 64bits system.

3

I’m running R24.2.1. Do you have a pointer to versions which run 32 bit? Is there any way to get it to compile on a 64 bit system?

4

If you can find a package pylon-5.x.x.x-aarch64 and install it it would probably be the easiest way.

I cannot tell how to run 32bits libraries on a 64bits system, albeit this might not be impossible.

If you cannot get the binary aarch64 version, you can try to get the sources of pylon and compile by yourself on TX1, this would produce 64bits libraries and you would be able to link your samples against these 64bits libraries.

5

In this case, what is the latest version of L4T which is 32 bit?

6

Not sure at all about this, I think that last 32bits version for TX1 was R23.2 (JetPack 2.1).
You can check: [url]https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack-archive[/url]

Be aware that this will not be a solution for future improvements, 32bits is no longer supported on TX1, and this would stick you to cuda7.

It works fine at my side with the following up2date versions:
