Hello,
I was trying to apply what discussed in this topic How to link custom plugin library for Radar in CGF to my LIDAR, by using a custom plugin lib which has been previously and succesfully tested with the lidar_sample_replay and linking to the minipepeline example provvided by the SDK.

However i did notice that minipeline example was implementing Camera, Imu and Radar Node but no Lidar (or PointCloud) was mentioned at all.
I then implemnted the Lidar Graphlet as shown in picture below:

with dwLidarBatchNode taken from usr/local/driveworks-5.14/src/dwframework/dwnodes/sensors/dwlidarnode folder.

I added it at my minipepeline as in picture:


and properly modified the app.json as:

                    ]
                }
            }

Once generated both yaml and stm, i tried to lunch it on Orin board but i got the following messages in the launcher.log file.

The error in bold made me think the .so library which lidar node was recalling, has no implementation for the passes that are described in the json.

Hence the questions:

  • Is there an example of minipepeline which is currently working with LIDAR devices?

  • Is there anything missing in the recalling of the decoder path of the lidar, as shown above?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Most of the details look good. However, as per the error log, it seems that you should re-generate the STM scheduling table?

You would need to use descriptionScheduleYamlGenerator.py to generate a new MiniPipeline__standardSchedule.yaml, and then use stmcompiler to generate a new MiniPipeline__standardSchedule.stm based on your changes.

It’s a MUST step, if you haven’t re-generated the STM binary, the application won’t work.

Hi, thanks for this suggestion.
Apparently the yaml generated was not over-written correctly but i made sure to have it fixed now.

I run the example again but i got a new error in the launcher.log:

Recalling that such library is already been proved to work correctly with the lidar_sample_replay.

Do you have any clue about what could be the problem?

Could you review why the dip (Destination IP Address) issue did not occur when running sample_lidar_replay?

Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?

Dear @kayccc
can you please track this issue in Interface between Custom Lidar.so and Drive Orin failed

these are same.

Best regards,
Sushant
