Hello,
I am trying to establish connection between my Basler a2A 1920 51gcBAS camera, and a Jetson AGX Orin devkit 64GB board (on Jetpack 6.0 rev1) using ethernet. I can connect the camera without issue to my laptop or other pcs, but when I connect it (using the same cable and network interface settings) to my Jetson, I experience heavy packetloss (>66%, measured by pinging the camera), and as such I cannot use the camera.
The camera is connected to the Jetson using an ethernet cable directly, and both are on the same subnet with different IP addresses. The Jetson is able to establish connection to other devices, such as my laptop, using the same cable. I cannot seem to figure out how this specific pairing is going wrong. I have tried using ethtool to test the connection, which fails the offline test, but I am not sure what exactly is going wrong there (PHYS loopback test fails with -110), as documentation is absent… Looking at frames using wireshark, the Jetson does keep asking which device has the assigned IP for the camera using ARP, to which it had previously gotten a reply. Camera also sends gratuitous ARP msgs from time to time. dmesg does repeatedly report that the interface must be stopped to change the MTU, which is potentially interesting, but MTU alone shouldn’t be the cause of packetloss this heavy I think. Kernel messages also report a “Failed to get PCS block lock”, if that’s of any significance here.
I also tried reflashing my Jetson, but to no avail, the issues persist. I have also tried the obvious by changes out cables, and restarting devices. Additionally I have tried another camera of the same model, which also gave the same issues.
