Jetson Orin Nano Cameras Issue : Error from gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp

Hello,

I have a Jetson Orin Nano with dual RPI cameras connected “Camera IMX219 Dual”.

I have OpenCV and Jetson jetpack libraries, jetson-utils etc. installed.
OpenCV was installed from here: Install-OpenCV-Jetson-Nano/OpenCV-4-10-0.sh at main · Qengineering/Install-OpenCV-Jetson-Nano · GitHub

Whenever I try to run any application that uses the cameras I get the below errors, in this case I was running simple_camera.py from here

GST_ARGUS: Running with following settings:
   Camera index = 0 
   Camera mode  = 4 
   Output Stream W = 1280 H = 720 
   seconds to Run    = 0 
   Frame Rate = 59.999999 
GST_ARGUS: Setup Complete, Starting captures for 0 seconds
GST_ARGUS: Starting repeat capture requests.
CONSUMER: Producer has connected; continuing.
nvbuf_utils: dmabuf_fd -1 mapped entry NOT found
Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, threadExecute:734 NvBufSurfaceFromFd Failed.
Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, threadFunction:245 (propagating)

I know the cameras are connected properly so it’s not a hardware issue.

Not quite sure how to track this one down.

Appreciate any comments or help.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please use jetson-io.py to enable the two RPi camera v2 modules. Single camera is enabled in default Jetpack 6 release.

Hello, thanks for the reply. Yes I have reconfigured the connector pins with jetson-io.py before following these instructions: Configuring the Jetson Expansion Headers — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide
But I ran it again to be sure, and the error still persists.

This is after running nvgstcapture-1.0

Today I noticed a popup error messages in Ubuntu that shows the following… this is likely the problem, although am not sure what the solution is

hello awoznea1,

let’s narrow down the issue,
please follow Applications Using V4L2 IOCTL Directly to use V4L2 IOCTL to verify basic functionality.
for instance,
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=RG10 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=100

if above works,
please further to test with preview disabled, and shows frame-rate only.
for instance,
$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 sensor-mode=0 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1, format=NV12' ! nvvidconv ! fpsdisplaysink text-overlay=0 name=sink_0 video-sink=fakesink sync=0 -v
