Hi everyone, 1-2 months ago, I used nvarguscamerasrc in combination with gstreamer and OpenCV to read frames from a camera with 120FPS. It worked great. But the SD-Card died and I set up a new image with maybe a new Jetpack version, I sadly don’t know. With the new image the framerate maximums are not right, as the product page of my camera (Sony 8MP IMX219 Sensor) suggests Frame Rates of: 21fps@8MP, 60fps@1080P, 180fps@720P. The last image had one sensor mode more, which was 720P with 120FPS. I used this one, but now it is gone. Can you please help me find the problem? I use a Jetson Xavier NX (Developer Kit Version) - Jetpack 4.4.1 [L4T 32.4.4], OpenCV Version 4.5.0, gst-launch-1.0 version 1.14.5 GStreamer 1.14.5 I also tried to use the .so file from this post, but there was no difference: [\>120 fps with nvarguscamerasrc?

Could you roll back to J4.4(r32.4.3) to verify the problem. ---

The 120fps mode was disabled from the 32.4.4 and later release won’t support it due to some internal test failed. However you can enable it from the dts by yourself. ---

Hi, I have two more questions. The camera also supports 1080P at 60FPS, but this is not in the list of available sensor modes. Am I right with guessing, that this also needs to be enabled from the DTS? Is there even a 1080P 60FPS mode? If so can you give me a hint how to enable it in the DTS because I never succeeded to build the DTS before, but tried it several times. Which files do I have to change? The second question is, if you have an idea, why the 120FPS 720P mode in the 32.4.3 version shows up but only gives me 60FPS. Is that what you meant by the failed internal testing? ---

Have a reference to below link to build the kernel Image and dtb. [https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%20Linux%20Driver%20Package%20Development%20Guide/kernel\_custom.html#](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%20Linux%20Driver%20Package%20Development%20Guide/kernel_custom.html#) Yes, it could be the HW limitation to support 120fps with 2 lane configure. ---

Which files do I have to change in the DTS, and what changes are needed? If you could give me a hint I would be super pleased. And I also think, that the 120FPS is not a hardware limitation, as it worked before with the same hardware, or? ---
