Hi, I am testing a carrier board for Xavier NX. The carrier board can support 4 MIPI cameras. I am using IMX-219 sensor for this test. I can capture raw image with the following v4l2-ctl command. The raw image can be re-played with GIMP in grey scale. The command, its output and syslog are listed below:

$ v4l2-ctl --verbose -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10, --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --stream-to=v4l2-test.raw

However, when I use gst-lunch-1.0 for video streaming, I hit error:

I also tried nvargus library with gst-lunch-1.0, also encountered error:

This problem has blocked me for about 3 weeks. I think I may miss some parameters in device tree. But I don’t have the source code of the libraries and debugging tool. I have compared many device tree and tried everything, But no lucky. Can anyone provide a help for the problem? Thanks for your attention.
I upload the device tree files here.

Hi,
So you are bringing up imx219 on your custom board? By default Raspverry Pi camera v2 works with Xavier developer kit. If you use developer kit, you can consider to get the camera and try.

Yes I am bring up IMX219 on my custom board. But I am not using the develop kit, though the camera works on the develop kit. Can you provide a specific tip based on the error message in the syslog?

Does the camera connect to the same i2c bus?
Dump the device tree by dtc to confirm the context of tegra-camera-platform{}
Also may need v4l2-ctl --all to confirm the I2C bus

sudo dtc -I fs -O dts -o extracted_proc.dts /proc/device-tree

@ShaneCCC thanks for the tip. We fixed the problem today. The problem was the lens_ node under tegra_camera_platform misconfigured.
