So I have a Jetson TX2 Developper Kit but I wasn’t able to use the onboard camera.
I tried :
gst-launch-1.0 nvcamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=640, height=480, framerate=30/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink -e
but there is an error message :
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Using winsys: x11
Socket read error. Camera Daemon stopped functioning.....
gst_nvcamera_open() failed ret=0
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
Got context from element 'eglglessink0': gst.egl.EGLDisplay=context, display=(GstEGLDisplay)NULL;

I tried running the
gdb gst-launch-1.0 7885
but :

I’ve tried :

but :

If this is on Jetpack 4.2, nvcamerasrc is deprecated in favor of nvarguscamerasrc.
You can use dmesg | grep cam (or other) to see if the driver / sensor probe is working or failing during boot.
I tried running the command with nvarguscamerasrc, a window named “gst-launch-1.0” appears but its content is froze with the background. It does not work. I’ve run dmesg | grep cam :

The drivers seems to be loaded…
I don’t know the issue here
The log you posted indicates that nvcamera-daemon has crashed. The presence of nvcamera-daemon indicates that you are not yet using R32.1. If possible I recommend updating to the R32.1 release.
In my experience with nvcamera-daemon on R28.2.1 it would segfault when devname and/or proc-device-tree was not set properly under tegra-camera-platform.
However, if /dev/video0 does not exist that implies that your camera driver has not successfully probed. You should solve this problem first as nothing else will work until the camera driver loads.

So I flashed the Jetson TX2 with JetPack 4.2 today but it hasn’t solved the problem.
As suggested by scott85rlu, I’ve used the nvarguscamerasrc command :
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=640, height=480, framerate=30/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink -e
but that dosn’t work :
Setting pipeline to PAUSED …
Using winsys: x11
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Got context from element 'eglglessink0': gst.egl.EGLDisplay=context, display=(GstEGLDisplay)NULL;
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, execute:521 No cameras available
And still there is no /dev/video0 so I guess that the problem I had before is still there. I have no idea on how to solve this, I would accept any documentation or tutorial. Thanks !
Maybe your camera is damaged. If you’re using the standard kernel and device tree from JetPack 4.2 it really should “just work” and /dev/video0 should be present when you boot.
You could try re-seating your camera. Do you have other cameras you could try?
I don’t have any other camera to try but I have other Jetson TX2 that I could flash and see if it works. But I intended to install and configure this camera beforehand to make sure the whole procedure is working.
I am using the standard kernel and device tree of JetPack 4.2.
I’ve been told that I could “just” add node in the device tree or build one from scratch but I have currently no idea how to do that.
You should not have to mess around with building a kernel or updating the device tree if you want to use the camera that comes with the devkit.
I haven’t touched the kernel nor the Device tree, yet. I’ve just been told by my Internship supervisor that to solve this problem I could had the camera node in the device tree.
It seems that the probing is correct, it is detecting the camera:
nvidia@nvidia:/boot/dtb$ dmesg | grep v4l2
[ 3.644930] ov5693 2-0036: probing v4l2 sensor.
and I have more detail about the sensor :
[ 3.644930] ov5693 2-0036: probing v4l2 sensor.
[ 3.645800] ov5693 2-0036: tegracam sensor driver:ov5693_v2.0.6
[ 3.667271] ov5693 2-0036: could not read otp bank

[ 3.669858] ov5693 2-0036: board setup failed
[ 3.670025] ov5693: probe of 2-0036 failed with error -5
What is error -5. If the driver crashes, how can I fix that.
Are you sure your camera is functional? Can your camera stream with other program like Cheese and Argus?
How do I test the camera with libargus ?
this command use gstreamer and libargus right ?
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=640, height=480, framerate=30/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! nvegltransform ! nveglglessink -e
Plus the file dev/video0 isn’t created…
This is a hardware problem, I’ve flashed another tx2 with the exact same settings and the built in camera works perfectly fine. Thank you everyone for your kind answers.
