Hi there,

Recently, we have obtained SONY IMX390 sample camera units from automotive Tier1 supplier Ofilm. When we attached them to our Drive AGX board, we got the following error message:

Can you support us if there is anything that we can do in order to address this issue?

Thank you,

Is it one of the two imx390 modules listed in https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/ecosystem-hw-sw?

If it’s in the list, please check “DRIVE OS” column of the module in https://developer.nvidia.com/drive/ecosystem-hw-sw.

Hi @VickNV,

We have tried to run the camera unit with the DriveOS 5.2.6 and we are seeing the same issue. The camera unit we are using has a MAX96717F as a GMSL serializer instead of MAX96712. Would that be a problem?

Thanks,

B.

May I know the command and output of running the sample application on drive os 5.2.6?

Hi @VickNV,

We have tried four different command arguments. Here are the outputs:

It looks like the first one got quite further ahead of the rest.

Let us know if you need more input from our side.

Thanks,

Because our releases don’t support this camera module, I don’t really have any experience with it.
Have you checked with Ofilm if their camera module works on any drive os release?

8

Hi @VickNV,

We don’t have confirmation from Ofilm that Drive OS is supported from their side. Do you happen to know if MAX96717F GMSL serializer (used in the Ofilm sample) is supported by Drive AGX platoform.

Thanks,

B.

I don’t see MAX96717F in the below table in Understanding NvMedia SIPL Framework of DRIVE OS 5.2.0.
Maybe you should try DRIVE OS 5.2.6. But you better ask Ofile about the readiness of the camera module on DRIVE OS.

Hi @VickNV

MAX96717F is mentioned in the 5.2.6 documentation:

Screenshot from 2021-10-05 08-12-53
Screenshot from 2021-10-05 08-12-531660×360 42.2 KB

We tried that Drive OS release, but with no luck. Do you know why there is no Deserinfo Database Object for MAX96717F in the list (similar to MAX96712 which is used in our other camera unit which works).

Thanks,

B.

11

Isn’t the deserializer part of CIM (Camera Input Module) in the system? How does your camera module use a different one? How is it connected to the system? Please get support from Ofilm. Thanks.

12

Hi @VickNV,

Thanks for the quick follow up. The camera is connected via GMSL quad port as usual. We were able to get only this camera sample of IMX390 with MAX96717F serializer from Ofilm.

So you think there is nothing that can be done from Nvidia side in order to fix the issue that we are seeing?

Thanks for your help,

B.

13

Why did you ask about MAX96727F “deserializer”?

What’s command you tried on DRIVE OS 5.2.6? What’s the complete log?

14

Hi @VickNV,

Why did you ask about MAX96727F “deserializer”?

My understanding is that we have MAX96727F in Ofilm camera sample and potentially compatible deserializer on Drive AGX board. In this follow up answer, I’ve pointed out that there’s a deserializer for another model but not for MAX96727F and I was wondering if that could be the problem why our Ofilm camera is not working properly.

What’s command you tried on DRIVE OS 5.2.6? What’s the complete log?

I’ve already shared the commands and the output in this thread.

Thanks,

B.

15

We support only those camera modules listed on our page. Especially we don’t even have the Ofilm module. Why don’t you use the imx390 modules listed there?

16

Hi @VickNV,

We are using the camera units from the page that you are mentioning but we are facing a unit shortage and cannot get additional cameras atm that we need. Therefore, we are exploring alternative suppliers.

17

May I know which camera module you’re using has the shortage problem? Thanks.

18

The shortage problem had been discussed offline.
