I installed a new RPi V2 camera to my Jetson Nano 2gb Development Kit. ls -l /dev/video0 worked as it was supposed to do. Then I tried “gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor\_id=0 ! nvoverlaysink”, a very fast window border came up and went away. Now, even ls -l /dev/video0, does not work. I tried everything I could think of including re-installing OS on the SD card, tried it before the updates and again after. I think the camera blew up!

```auto

```

hello howdyrichard,

there’s erroneous in your pipeline, it’s `sensor-id` instead of underline to specify the index of camera sensor.  
you may check this with `$ gst-inspect-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc`  
for example,

```auto
  sensor-id : Set the id of camera sensor to use. Default 0.
                        flags: readable, writable
                        Integer. Range: 0 - 255 Defaul

```

please also refer to [Approaches for Validating and Testing the V4L2 Driver](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/l4t-archived/l4t-3243/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fjetson_xavier_camera_soft_archi.html%23wwpID0E0YB0HA) session, which show some sample commands for access your camera stream.

BTW,  
please gather logs for reference,  
for example, you may check kernel messages (`$ dmesg > klog.txt`),  
or, system level logs. (`$ cat /var/log/syslog > syslog.txt`) for more details.  
thanks

Jerry - Thank you for that info. I did prove the camera module is defective. I bought another one and it works just fine so far with RPi2, so it should work with Nano.
