Isaac ROS Nova on Jetson Orin NX - failed to open the device /dev/nvpps0 errno = 2

  • Device: Jetson Orin NX
  • JetPack Version: JetPack 6.1
  • Isaac ROS Version: 3.2

Issue Description

I am running Isaac ROS Nova on my Jetson Orin NX, but I encountered the following error:
ERROR extensions/timestamp_correlator/correlated_timestamp_driver.cpp@74: failed to open the device /dev/nvpps0 errno = 2

Questions

  • Does Isaac ROS Nova require /dev/nvpps0, and which module or driver is responsible for it?
  • How can I enable or ensure that /dev/nvpps0 is properly created?
  • Do I need to manually load specific kernel modules for Isaac ROS Nova?

Hi @winton.hsu

Thanks for your post.

Isaac ROS Nova is designed to interface with Nova sensor suite. The package is only tested to work on the Isaac Nova Orin platform based on Jetson AGX Orin.

Best,
