No cameras available in Xavier NX

I made a custom driver and tried to use in Xavier(NX) I made changes to the cam_i2c_mux device tree and used ov5693 camera driver but when i try to use
" gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! nvvidconv ! xvimagesink
", I get this error

"Setting pipeline to PAUSED …

I tried using “v4l2-ctl --device /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-to=frame.raw --stream-count=1 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0” and got this in dmesg

The camera driver was working properly in Xavier(AGX)
Is there any way to fix this issue ?

hello varun.p,

these messages shows it cannot communicate with the camera devices.
could you please probe the i2c signaling to ensure you’re having correct regulator supply.
thanks

Hi @JerryChang ,
I tried to probe the i2c lanes and found i2c signals are sent to the camera, I also verified that the camera is also sending MIPI signal.

hello varun.p,

could you please follow below steps to enable VI tracing logs.
for example,

   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
   echo 30720 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tegra_rtcpu/enable
   echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/freertos/enable
   echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/camrtc/log-level
   echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Hi @JerryChang ,
I have attached the results of trace log here.

vi_tracing_logs.txt (4.5 KB)

hello varun.p,

I don’t see any sensor signaling coming to VI engine.
there should be FS (frame-start), FE (frame-end), SOF (start-of-frame), EOF (end-of-frame)…etc from the tracing logs.
may I know what’s THS settle time of the MIPI lane you’ve configured?
please check Sensor Software Driver Programming and refer to cil_settletime. it’s by default using zero for auto-calibrated.

Hi @JerryChang ,
The cil_settletime is zero.
Kindly check my configurations please let me know if I am missing anything

Hi @JerryChang ,
The camera is streaming when using " gst-launch-1.0 nvv4l2camerasrc ! nvvidconv ! xvimagesink"
but still i am getting no cameras available when trying “gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! nvvidconv ! xvimagesink”
How to fix no cameras available when using nvarguscamerasrc ?

hello varun.p,

it’s nvarguscamerasrc to parse the content and register camera nodes to system.
please update above to adapt to your sensor driver. especially, the devname, and proc-device-tree property.
you’ll also need to update the badge, otherwise it’ll load the ov5693’s ISP configuration.
thanks

Hi @JerryChang ,
What changes should I make ?
I used the same device-tree properties in Xavier AGX and it worked for my camera but not working in Xavier NX.

hello varun.p,

I’ve point-out three things in comment #10,
please have a try to update them and share the test results.
