I tried to integrate the flair camera with jetson nano 2GB developer kit Ubuntu 18.04. I installed spinnaker SDK as instructed. Spinview is not detecting the camera. I have tested this with amd ubuntu processor on ubuntu 20.04 but I was able to sucessfully integrate the camera with computer with ubuntu 20.04. it does not show any error.

When I run lsusb command on computer :
For sucsessful detection of camera output is as follow:

With jetson nano, it detects USB port but not able interface camera: It seems library issue. But the problem is I don’t get any log.
output for lsusb

With successful integration of the camera, I got camera name with my amd computer. But I don’t get the camera name as shown as above with jetson nano. What am I missing? I have installed spinnaker arm sdk in jetson and amd on computer.

Is is the jetson nano issue with libraries installation or any other issue?

Hi,
By default USB cameras use kernel UVC driver. Please check if you can see infomation of the camera by executing

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext

If it requires additional kernel driver, probably certain kernel configs have to be enabled. This would need other users to share experience.

It was actually working when acquiring image using c++ code with sudo from opt folder where spinnaker was installed. But it was not showing with spine view software.

Thanks

Hi,
This would need other users to share experience. Or you may try to contact camera vendor to get help.
