Hi, I’ve run into an issue with the JetPack 6.2 on Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit. I need to use DRM output to a display connected with DP. jetson@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/nv_tegra_release # R36 (release), REVISION: 4.3, GCID: 38968081, BOARD: generic, EABI: aarch64, DATE: Wed Jan 8 01:49:37 UT…

Hi, And please try text-overlay=0: ... ! fpsdisplaysink text-overlay=0 video-sink=fakesink sync=0 -v

Hi, Continually starting and terminating gdm is not validated. Please stop display manager and load DRM driver in the beginning, and use nvdrmvideosink. Please refer to Accelerated GStreamer — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide

Hi @DaneLLL , thanks for the support! That start and stop was just for issue demonstration purposes. Problem persists even after reboot. I use nvdrmvideosink, but the issue is that nvargus framerate drops even as is. The dependency looks clear: gdm should be running for a proper framerate, but I’…

@DaneLLL To be more precise, I mean that I cannot use drm with running gdm (it’s OK) Once gdm is stopped, nvarguscamerasrc provides 2-3fps only straight after the source. (Issue) Once gdm is stopped, drm output is working fine itself (OK)

Hi @DaneLLL , Thanks for the test. JetPack is on the same page. Could you please confirm that Orin Nano dev kit you’ve tested is Orin Nano Super dev kit? Is there a way to downgrade Super to a regular one so I could retest? I could provide ssh access to the device in case it’s helpful.

Hi, Yes, the Orin Nano developer kit is flashed with super mode. Not sure if you can re-flash your developer kit and check again. Please try Flash Jetpack 6.2 Set up user and password in first boot Enable the camera through jetson-io.py and reboot Install nvarguscamerasrc $ sudo apt update $ sud…

Hi, You don’t execute $ sudo modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1

I did. Actually I did 2 tests: The test exactly you’ve asked with drm output The test with fakesink output. My point is that after stopping of gdm service nvarguscamerasrc framerate drops regardless of drm in use or not.

Hi,
We don’t observe the issue on Jetpack 6.2/Orin Nano developer kit + RPi HiQ camera(imx477). We run the command and framerate is 30fps:

$ sudo systemctl stop gdm
$ sudo loginctl terminate-seat seat0
$ sudo modprobe nvidia-drm modeset=1
$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! fpsdisplaysink text-overlay=0 video-sink=nvdrmvideosink sync=0 -v
