Hello,
I am having an issue where it cannot find my camera. It gives an error

Error generated. /dvs/git/dirty/git-master_linux/multimedia/nvgstreamer/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp, execute:751 No cameras available

I ran v4l2-ctl --list-devices and it outputs

NVIDIA Tegra Video Input Device (platform:tegra-camrtc-ca):
        /dev/media0

Cannot open device /dev/video0, exiting.

When I run dmesg | grep -i imx219 it outputs

Something wrong with the driver but not sure the fix. thanks

hello, This problem should be due to I2C communication failure. You can check if the camera hardware is functioning properly, if there are any changes in the reset-gpio, and if mclk is outputting correctly.

hello joyce,

may I know which camera module you’re working with?
is it Raspberry pi v2 imx219? if yes, please try running Jetson-IO to configure the CSI connector.

I have the imx219

I tried and it didn’t work. Also, it says in the CSI connector section that it only works for the Jetson Xavier NX series only. I have the Jetson Orin NX

Edit: its an error unrelated to nvidia. thanks
