Raspberry Pi Camera 2 - Failed to create CameraProvider

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano
1

I have connected a Raspberry Pi camera v2 (IMX 219) to my brand new Jetson Nano.

After finding guides how to get it to work, I unfortunally seem to not be able to get it up and running.

For example I used this guide. Jetson Nano + Raspberry Pi Camera - JetsonHacks

I get the following error code:

I run the latest firmware as I have just gotten the Jetson Nano yesterday. How do I proceed?

Hi denderuiter,

Instead of running gstreamer pipeline , you can see camera streaming directly by running the default gstreamer application “nvgstcapture-1.0”.

Command to stream camera is given below.
$ nvgstcapture-1.0

For information about the application , please refer to “NVGSTCAPTURE-1.0 OPTION REFERENCE” section in Accelerated_GStreamer_User_Guide available in the following link [url]https://developer.download.nvidia.com/embedded/L4T/r32-2_Release_v1.0/Accelerated_GStreamer_User_Guide.pdf?nDC_LrIdYeIUMrHxk3dS6B9eYMKuBFCtoFenIOlZWxSYBss5KGdSea704MoA3MU67fIB_t5OSV5v4JC8xVwfLjovOq77ND3aV5dr-M7PxFCmHCDWD8tkDooNW6ukhNZHN7Cifb1bBiM9qxYOzumGoJmbTOz0UG42n9wA9qeGxsiPc9E[/url]

Hello Radhika, thank you for the reply. When I try it using nvgstcapture-1.0, it seems to get stuck at:

GST_ARGUS: Running with following settings:
   Camera index = 0 
   Camera mode  = 4 
   Output Stream W = 1280 H = 720 
   seconds to Run    = 0 
   Frame Rate = 120.000005 
GST_ARGUS: PowerService: requested_clock_Hz=2016000
GST_ARGUS: Setup Complete, Starting captures for 0 seconds
GST_ARGUS: Starting repeat capture requests.
CONSUMER: Producer has connected; continuing.

After this, nothing happens anymore. The full log:

I think it does detect my camera??

Hi denderuiter,

Yes , your camera is detected successfully. It is clarified from the logs shared by you.

Try to use v4l2-ctl command to confirm camera streaming in ISP bypass mode by running below commands,

  1. Install v4l2-ctl command by running below command.(Ignore this step if this command is already installed)
    $$ sudo apt-get update
    $$ sudo apt-get install v4l-utils

  2. Run below command to see camera streaming.
    $$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-ctrl=bypass_mode=0 --stream-mmap

    This command will represent output stream using arrow “>>” symbol along with FPS.

If you still face streaming issue after trying the above suggestion , please share dmesg log.
