Hi,

this is a follow up of this thread.

Meanwhile I tried to use enableCamInfiniteTimeout=1 with L4T 36.2. It seems that it is still not working:

Is there a patch or anything else to support infinite cam timeout with l4t 36.2?

hello MarkusHess,

please apply the pre-built update manually, Topic293579_May22_libnvscf.7z (1.6 MB)

although the fixes to support infinite cam timeout did not catch JP-6 GA release date, the change had check-in to rel-36 code-line.

Hi JerryChang,

when using the patched libnvscf.so, it crashes on start:

The old lib is working, besides the issue with the enableCamInfiniteTimeout. So may there is a version conflict? I am on L4T r36.2.

@JerryChang I noticed, l4t 36.3 was released. May the libs you provided are for that version? Should I update?

hello MarkusHess,

please note that r36.2 is a Developer Preview version,
you may use below pre-built update with r36.3, which is a production quality release version.
for instance, Topic293579_May29_r363.7z (1.6 MB)

Hi JerryChang,

with r36.3 and the updated libnvscf.so, enableCamInfiniteTimeout=1 is working again. Unfortunately there is still the issue, that the waitForEvents function of CaptureSession’s EventProvider waits forever even when a timeout value was provided. Therefore, my application gets stuck on exit if no event occures. See here a reduced example:

Argus::IEventProvider *iEventProvider = captureSession->eventProvider();
uint64_t eventTimeout = 2000000000; // 2 seconds as nanoseconds

std::vector<Argus::EventType> eventTypes;
eventTypes.push_back(Argus::EVENT_TYPE_CAPTURE_COMPLETE);
eventTypes.push_back(Argus::EVENT_TYPE_ERROR);
Argus::UniqueObj<Argus::EventQueue> eventQueue(iEventProvider->createEventQueue(eventTypes));

while(m_run) {
    std::cout << "wait for events" << std::endl;

    // This call should abort after 2 seconds (eventTimeout) if no event occures
    // but unfortunately it waits forever when enableCamInfiniteTimeout=1
    iEventProvider->waitForEvents(eventQueue.get(), eventTimeout);

    std::cout << "wait for events done" << std::endl;
}

I hoped this would be fixed in the new version. Do you have another solution/idea to exit the event reading loop if no event occures?

hello MarkusHess,

FYI, the status on rel-36 remain the same as mentioned here… Topic 284939, comment #5.
so far, it’ll be waiting continuously only when SOF signal received.

anyways, let me arrange resources to have some internal discussion and investigation.

11

Perfect, thanks a lot. Please let me know when there are any news from the discussion.

Also, will the patched libnvscf.so provided by you be part of the next release? For production use, we would prefer to use an official release.

12

hello MarkusHess,

as you may know… we need some time for getting code reviewed, tested, and check-in to main code-line.
even though such fix did not catch JP-6.0 GA release date, you may still use pre-built update (i.e. Topic293579_May29_r363.7z) for your use-case.

yes, the change to support infinite camera timeout setting has already merged into rel-36 code-line.
please expect next Jetpack-6 public release (i.e. Jetpack-6.1/ l4t-r36.4) will include this fix as well.

13

hello MarkusHess,

I’ve went through the code regarding to the issue you’ve reported in comment #8.
it looks waitForEvents() still treat timeout values in the scope. however, it needs to wait until at least one event is available.

here’s a pre-built binary file, Topic293579_Jun11.zip (453.2 KB) which has some debug messages for checking waitForEvents(),
I’ve also try to revise the code for exit the reading loop if no event occures.
please give it a try, thanks

Hi JerryChang,

I am getting Illegal instruction (core dumped) if I use this library. May this is for a different device?

15

hello MarkusHess,

I was shared the pre-built based-on r36.3 release version.
anyways, let’s have a new thread for following-up waitForEvents() issues.
