Hi ,

we have an API which grabs images from two cameras. This runs fine for several hours until somehow argus seems to crash with following error:

nvargus-daemon[31084]: SCF: Error Timeout:  (propagating from src/components/amr/Snapshot.cpp, function waitForNewerSample(), line 91)

We are running JP5.1.2 and have already a patched argus, fusacap and scf lib. those githashes are:

## Libraries
 LIBARGUS hash            : b6f55f6cb2de004bcb4a5238f9ed3938  /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra/libnvargus.so

What can we do to prevent this error?

Hi, @PS1234 ,
What hardware configuration are you using?
We had issues with unstable serdes links, where from time to time the signal drops and we get similar errors as you. Maybe check either if using normal csi-2/mipi cams, the cable is too long and/or subjected to outside interference, or if using serdes, try and check the quality of the link via crc error checks or link status registers.
