Jetson Multimedia API package not upgraded after upgrading from JetPack 4.3 to JetPack 4.4

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

I’ve been trying to get some information from the camera through ICameraProperties of CameraDevice. As documented in Jetson Linux Multimedia API Reference , I should be able to access getMinAeRegionSize(). However, I got this error when compiling my script:

error: ‘class Argus::ICameraProperties’ has no member named ‘getMinAeRegionSize’; did you mean ‘getMaxAeRegions’?

I can confirm that my Jetson Nano Developer Kit correctly upgraded from JetPack 4.3 to JetPack 4.4 release following the Upgrade JetPack Guide. Also, the Jetson Linux Multimedia API is same with the Jetson Linux Multimedia API Reference, i.e. version 32.4.3 Release.

I’ve inspected the CameraDevice.h in /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/include/Argus/CameraDevice.h (or /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/argus/include/Argus/CameraDevice.h, they’re just symlink) in the device, it is pretty different with Jetson Linux API Reference: Argus/CameraDevice.h Source File | NVIDIA Docs . I confirmed that the header file in my installation is same with L4T Multimedia API Reference: Argus/CameraDevice.h Source File .

What is going on here?

Looking in /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/include/Argus/CameraDevice.h still the same with L4T Multimedia API Reference: Argus/CameraDevice.h Source File.

Hi,
Please apply the patch:
https://elinux.org/Jetson/L4T/r32.4.x_patches
[argus_camera] fix user compile argus_camera application from the release sources causes segmentation fault (SIGSEGV)

@DaneLLL is it safe if I just replace whole “CameraDevice.h” with Jetson Linux API Reference: Argus/CameraDevice.h Source File | NVIDIA Docs and “Settings.h” with Jetson Linux API Reference: Argus/Settings.h Source File | NVIDIA Docs instead of doing it line-by-line referencing L4T R32.4.3 Breaks argus_camera and causes segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) - #9 by JerryChang ?
Or will you post those patched header files? I afraid hand editing those files line-by-line by myself may not exactly match the patch as supposed to be.

hello yahya_qlue,

this segmentation fault errors only occurred if you compile binaries from the release sources.
it’s due to the inconsistent between release sources and pre-built binary.
so, you may check and replace with those header files, just to make sure the header files update were included.
thanks
