Hi,
I recently setup a new Xavier NX, following the directions in the getting started guide. I’ve also attached a Raspberry Pi Camera V2, as outlined in several tutorials and Paul McWhorter’s YouTube series on the Xavier NX. However, no amount of research and troubleshooting has allowed me to get the camera functioning.
If I try to test the camera using gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! nvoverlaysink, I get the following output in the terminal, but nothing else -
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstSystemClock
GST_ARGUS: Creating output stream
CONSUMER: Waiting until producer is connected...

GST_ARGUS: Running with following settings:
Camera index = 0
Camera mode = 2

Frame Rate = 29.999999
GST_ARGUS: Setup Complete, Starting captures for 0 seconds
GST_ARGUS: Starting repeat capture requests.
CONSUMER: Producer has connected; continuing.
The YouTube series offers this code example:
import cv2
print(f'The cv2 library version is {cv2.__version__}')
stream = cv2.VideoCapture('/dev/video0')
while True:
_, frame = stream.read()
cv2.imshow('Xavier NX Camera', frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) == ord('q'):
break
stream.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
However, when I run it from the terminal, the result is rather frustrating -
$ python3 open_cv_1.py
The cv2 library version is 4.1.1
I’ve flashed the SD card for my unit twice now - attempting once with the latest JetPack v4.5 and now on the previous release version v4.4.1. I’m not able to get any of the examples to work. There seems to be very few resources available to help troubleshoot scenarios such as mine. I’d like to think I’m a fairly moderately developer, but this experience on the Xavier NX has been absolutely maddening.
On another note, I don’t know if it’s evidence of a faulty unit or setup, but I’m also experiencing a massive amount of keyboard lag on the device (I’m using a Das Keyboard that hasn’t presented any issues in either MacOs or Windows).
I’d really appreciate any help.
