Inconsistent gStreamer with IMX219/477

Gorgo90 · October 28, 2022, 11:07am

Hi all!

Background:
I’m using a Seedstudio A203V2 carrier board with my NX, since L4T 35.1.0 drivers have been recently published on the producer’s webpage.
I also bought several arducam MIPI-CSI IMX477 and IMX219 cameras to test, but I’m facing inconsistent results with my capture script that uses openCV to show the stream.

Starting from the a fresh install, I usually start extending my storage, using rootOnTF script to load the SD card as rootfs; I then load CUDA 11.4 from the SDKManager, install NoMachine to remotely connect, Torch, Tensorrt, etc.

I usually have no particular problems with opening the script with a fresh system, but I eventually finish breaking something that is preventing me to show the camera.

Details:

nvidia@nvidia-a208:~$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release
R35 (release), REVISION: 1.0, GCID: 31346300, BOARD: t186ref, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Thu Aug 25 18:41:45 UTC 2022

Pipeline (from arducam.py):

def gstreamer_pipeline(
self,
capture_width=1280,
capture_height=720,
display_width=1280,
display_height=720,
framerate=60,
flip_method=0,
):
return (
"nvarguscamerasrc ! "
"video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), "
"width=(int)%d, height=(int)%d, "
"format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)%d/1 ! "
"nvvidconv flip-method=%d ! "
"video/x-raw, width=(int)%d, height=(int)%d, format=(string)BGRx ! "
"videoconvert ! "
“video/x-raw, format=(string)BGR ! appsink”
% (
capture_width,
capture_height,
framerate,
flip_method,
display_width,
display_height,
)
)

The camera is recognized by v4l2:

At the moment, when I run my script, I get “Failed to create FrameConsumer” from Argus.
I’m using an Arducam IMX219 for testing

This happens on both physical display (:0 with a LG monitor) but also with a virtual display I create with NoMachine (:1001 without any EDID nor physical HDMI).

This is a journal I took testing the script with a physical monitor:

In both cases I see video0 initialized:

nvidia@nvidia-a208:~$ sudo dmesg | grep imx

nvidia@nvidia-a208:~$ ls /dev/video0
/dev/video0

I also see fps with the current command:

nvidia@nvidia-a208:~$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=100
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 21.19 fps
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I’ll attach both dmesg and journalctl of a test with the physical monitor and one with the virtual NX.

I also tried with argus oneShot:

nvidia@nvidia-a208:~/argus/build/samples/oneShot$ ./argus_oneshot
Executing Argus Sample: argus_oneshot

In case you need this one is a log where I could see the videostream, so the camera is not broken.

I think I’m missing something here, but I got lost.

Maybe nvphs daemon failed to start or crashed…What gives:

sudo systemctl status nvphs.service

If it failed to start, you may try

sudo systemctl restart nvphs.service

# Or launch manually:
sudo /usr/sbin/nvphsd_setup.sh
sudo /usr/sbin/nvphsd

Hi,
It looks like the sesor driver is not ready. Please check if you can run this command:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! fakesink

It it fails , you would need to contact vendor for porting sensor driver to Jetpack 5.0.2(r35.1).

Hi @Honey_Patouceul and @DaneLLL , thank you for helping.

So, nvphs daemon is active even if I have a phs error in the log:

Today test comprises a IMX477 and apparently it’s working with the aforementioned python script:

@DaneLLL 's command doesn’t seem to work.

I don’t know if it’s related but I don’t why QT V4L2 is not working (I didn’t reboot it): I only see a green window.
It also detects NM12 instead of RG10, but I cannot edit it even when the window is closed.

Hi,
It looks one one camera works and the other does not work. The working one has two sensor modes: 3840x2160 p30 and 1920x1080p60. You may set sensor-id to distinguish which one works and which one does not work:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0(or 1) ! fakesink

And you may consider get one Raspberry Pi camera v2. The sensor driver is in release and it shall work by default.
