Timeout error with IMX477

While streaming, I am getting this error:

Hi @Shine.d,

Just to rule out some possibilites, is this issue happening with a minimal gstreamer pipeline? Perhaps something like this:

gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=1280, height=720, framerate=30/1' ! nvvidconv ! nvvideosink

Have you ruled out any hardware issues? Perhaps by repositioning the camera ribbon?

sending pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1’ ! nvvidconv ! nvv4l2h264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink host=192.168.55.100 port=4000 sync=false
receiving pipeline:
gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=4000 ! application/x-rtp, media=video, clock-rate=90000, encoding-name=H264, payload=96 ! rtpjitterbuffer latency=100 ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! autovideoconvert ! autovideosink sync=false

I actually checked by repositioning the camera ribbon, but still same issue is there.

Hi @Shine.d,

My initial thoughts on seeing the timeout error is that there is some communication issue with the IMX477 sensor.

However to be sure I properly understand the issue I have some follow up questions:

  • Does the nvarguscamerasrc debug log show some other error that might help understand what the issue is? Try running the your sending pipeline with GST_DEBUG=*argus*:DEBUG gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ...
  • Are you able to stream at all before seeing this error? Or does it occur right when you start running the pipeline and before any streaming has happened?

Sometimes I am able to take stream and sometimes this issue happens.

When I see log using journalctl, it shows SCF timeout error

Hi @Shine.d,

Thanks for the info, I find it interesting that the stream sometimes works.

I am still interested in whether you see this issue with a minimal pipeline (one that does not involve rtpsink/rtpsrc). This is mostly to rule out that it is argus directly that is causing the issue, and not something that involves other gstreamer elements.

Could you please test this pipeline and share the output?

GST_DEBUG=*argus*:DEBUG gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1' ! nvvidconv ! nvvideosink

In case you don’t see the timeout issue with this minimal pipeline, you can maybe test your original pipelines, but perhaps using host=127.0.0.1 and running both pipelines on the Jetson.

I can see this after running the minimal pipeline:

$ GST_DEBUG=*argus*:DEBUG gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1' ! nvvidconv ! nvvideosink

Here is the journalctl log of nvargus-daemon.service for my previous pipelines:
sending pipeline:

In that log, there were some erros related to nvphs service, this is the status of it:

Add event-wait and acquire-wait to try.

gst-launch-1.0 -v -e nvarguscamerasrc event-wait=5000000000 acquire-wait=6000000000 ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM)' ! nvvidconv ! ...
