How to record with the ar0144 gaze camera?

Hello,
I’m trying to use the GMSL camera AR0144 gaze on AGX Xavier with DRIVE 9.

I tried to access with the command :
./sample_camera_gmsl --camera-type=ar0144-cccc-none-gazet1
and
./sample_camera_gmsl_raw --camera-type=ar0144-cccc-none-gazet1

but I got errors :

./sample_camera_gmsl --camera-type=ar0144-cccc-none-gazet1

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

thanks,
Arnaud

Dear @delmotte,
Could you share camera module details? Please see the supported list in DRIVE Ecosystem - Hardware and Software | NVIDIA Developer

Also, Can we know why you are on DRIVE SW 9.0? is it possible to upgrade to DRIVE SW 10.0?

Hello,
The camera model is ON Semiconductor AR0144ATSM-GEVK(GazeT-144).

We are on Drive SW 9 because most of the code developed by my company has been developed for this version and we did not upgraded yet. I can not update the machine I’m using because it is shared with other people. However, the seller of the module said it’s usable under drive 9.

After flashing tegra-b to put back a fresh install of drive 9, I could use sample_camera_gmsl_raw successfully but still not sample_camera_gmsl.
Is there any information on how to read the raw recorder files?
Is it directly the data from the sensor or is there any header?

Any idea how to make the processed mode work to record in h264?

I join here the new logs with a fresh tegra-b flash :

Dear @delmotte,
The camera support only RAW format. So only sample_camera_gmsl_raw works.
RAW data corresponds to data coming from sensor.
You can check sample_camera_replay code to know more details on reading raw video.

Thanks for the support, I succeeded to visualize the recorded video using sample_camera_replay.

If I want to record it in h264, is there a way to process it using dwSoftISP and stream the result to the h264 serializer of driveworks?
Or should I stream the rgba data to the cpu and then use NvMedia API for the encoding like for USB cameras?

thanks,
Arnaud

Dear @delmotte,
