Hi everyone,
I’m having problems with getting our TIS USB3 cameras to work properly with the TX2. The problem is that after compiling and installing the drivers https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tiscamera/ only the first seven UVC controls are properly mapped out of more than 30. What’s puzzling is that the cameras work fine in just one out of four Jetson dev kits we have in house, but I have not been able to find a way to make them work on the other three. All four have been set up the same way: flash the latest Jetpack and apply the drivers. I’ve tested the cameras on other PCs and other ARM-based boards. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated.
You might want to save a copy of the verbose lsusb for one case of the camera working and one case of the camera not working…then do a diff and see how the USB information differs. If it is the same, then you know it is a consumer of data and not the base drivers at fault.
If you run “lsusb” you will see an ID. One example: 093a:2510 (it’s a cheap mouse). You could get a verbose listing for that ID:
# Working host:
sudo lsusb -d 093a:2510 -vvv > tree_works.txt
# Failing host:
sudo lsusb -d 093a:2510 -vvv > tree_fails.txt
# diff:
diff tree_fails.txt tree_works.txt
Incidentally, this is not likely to be a standard UVC camera. You don’t need extra drivers for a standard class. Many USB devices actually have more than one interface, and thus part of it could be UVC and another part custom, but having that driver tends to say you are going to see “Vendor Specific Class” in there somewhere (and this isn’t UVC). If it turns out that the lsusb listing matches between the working and non-working Jetson, then it tends to say either the custom driver or the end software using the driver differs.
I only have remote access to one of the “bad” units at the moment, so I can’t do a direct comparison, but I would assume that the “good” one would have the missing bmControls. Here is the output:

You may also try use an externally powered USB hub for ruling out power issues.
Yeah, I’ve already tried that to no avail…
We’ll probably need to see the working version when that is available. If we know the working and failed units have the same verbose lsusb output, then we know the issue isn’t within the standard USB classes, and thus it would be an issue of the custom driver you had to compile (or the software using the camera).
One more question…you mentioned “apply drivers”. I assume this is the “apply_binaries.sh” step, but can you confirm? I want to be sure there wasn’t something extra, e.g., adding a kernel module.
Something else you might check: Often cameras have firmware. Perhaps some cameras have different firmware versions than others. Make sure you check with the camera vendor to see if such a thing exists for your particular case. Maybe also test swapping a camera from a working unit to a non-working unit to see if the issue follows the Jetson or the camera.
Sure, I will get that diff tomorrow.
Perhaps “drivers” was poor wording to describe what gets installed. Sifting through the source code (git repo in the OP), these are mrely camera libraries, udev rules, and uvc extension provisions https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tiscamera/wiki/UVC-Extension-Units mapped via uvcdynctrl.
Camera has the latest firmware applied and works fine on PCs as well as other ARM-based SoMs.
Edit: I stumbled across this thread which seems relevant: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1038107/?offset=13#5280632
Seems likely that my “good” Jetson is running the stock version, while the “bad” one is on the Developer OS.
That thread does remind me of a relevant question: Are all of the systems using the same user login as the ones which work? The GPU requires group “video” to access and users nvidia and ubuntu have this…other users will not have this unless manually added. Root of course (sudo) has all group memberships.
