Unable to play camera stream from any of the camera, when 3 camera's are added in single devicetree

omkarm · January 3, 2022, 3:22pm

Hi,

I’m facing an issue during playback of a camera stream on Jetson Nano when all 3 camera’s are added in single devicetree. All three cameras are of the same make and are connected on CSI-A(i.e I2C Chip Address: 0x33), CSI-C(i.e I2C Chip Address: 0x32) and CSI-E(i.e I2C Chip Address: 0x31) of Jetson Nano.
Just an FYI, I’m using baseboard(Antmicro · Open Source Jetson Baseboard) with Jetson Nano 4GB SOM.
When I make a separate devicetree’s for individual camera(i.e add only one camera configuration in devicetree), I’m able to view camera stream using the following GStreamer pipeline,
gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 num-buffers=10000 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! nvoverlaysink
GStreamer console output:

Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...

I’ve attached devicetree(32-tegra210-camera-omcam-b00.dtsi & 32-tegra210-porg-camera-omcam-b00.dtsi) files and driver(omcam.c) source file for reference

Now this is the part where playback doesn’t work
If I add all 3 cameras in single devicetree, I’m able to list all 3 cameras
i.e /dev/video0, /dev/video1, /dev/video2 which is good,
But I’m unable to play camera stream using the following gstreamer pipeline using sensor-id 0, 1 or 2,
gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 num-buffers=10000 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! nvoverlaysink

I’ve also attached devicetree(all-tegra210-camera-omcam-b00.dtsi & all-tegra210-porg-camera-omcam-b00.dtsi) for reference.
Note: I noticed in dmesg, when I try to play camera stream or capture frame, all 3 cameras are iterated at 1st and then finally the expected camera is again intiailized and frame is captured.
Don’t know the reason why initially all 3 camera’s are initialized.

Could you please provide me some pointers on where I’m going wrong in this, as I’m in bit confused on why I’m unable to play camera stream, but I’m able capture frame.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thanks

Modify the position to bottom, top, and center for three cameras use case.

position = "middle";

It worked ! !
@ShaneCCC you are the savior.
Thanks a lot.

I need one more help from you.
I’m trying to render all 3 cameras at once using the following command, but I am able to view only one in the display.

Looking at the console output, the other two camera’s have this error

nvbuf_utils: dmabuf_fd -1 mapped entry NOT found
nvbuf_utils: Can not get HW buffer from FD… Exiting…

Any idea if there is any specific change I need to do in devicetree, driver or GStreamer pipeline?

Do you need composite them to one window?
How about have xvimagesink to preview them in three windows.

I tried playing 2 cameras with following command,

gst-launch-1.0 -v \
nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! xvimagesink \
nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=1 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! xvimagesink

I got the same error

nvbuf_utils: dmabuf_fd -1 mapped entry NOT found
nvbuf_utils: Can not get HW buffer from FD… Exiting…

But if I run them separately it works
gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=0 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! xvimagesink
gst-launch-1.0 -v nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=1 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)800, height=(int)800, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)60/1’ ! nvvidconv ! queue ! xvimagesink

Could you try framerate=(fraction)30/1 for each pipeline.

omkarm · January 6, 2022, 1:31pm

Tried it, but getting the same error

ShaneCCC · January 6, 2022, 1:40pm

What’s the version?

cat /etc/nv_tegra_release

Could you try argus_camera multiple session.

argus_camera --module=3

omkarm · January 24, 2022, 9:51am

I’m unable to find argus_camera binary.
Could you please let me know where can i find or install it from?

Download MMAPI to build it.

sudo apt list -a nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api
sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api=32.x.xxxxx

omkarm · January 24, 2022, 10:58am

I think it is installed, got this message when I ran 1st command

nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api/stable 32.6.1-20210916211029 arm64 [upgradable from: 32.6.1-20210726122000]
nvidia-l4t-jetson-multimedia-api/stable,now 32.6.1-20210726122000 arm64 [installed,upgradable to: 32.6.1-20210916211029]

Just did a quick search and found this

Is this what i need to build?

Check the ReadMe to build it.
The location is /usr/src/jetson_multimedia_api/argus
