v4l2-ctl succeed! gst-launch-1.0 fail !

dear,

i complete config ar0231 & 954 driver and dts

And succeed to get raw data through v4l2-ctl(v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 -w --verbose --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=BA12 --stream-mmap --stream-count=1 --set-ctrl bypass_mode=0 --stream-to=/tmp/stream.raw)

but fail to get data through gst-launch-1.0

(gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc num-buffers=200 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1, format=NV12’ ! omxh264enc ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4 -e)

@ShaneCCC

Same configuration (same BA12)I succeed to grab data on Xavier;

but fail get data in myself board (Modified hardware)

Please enable the pcl log to check.

sudo su

@ShaneCCC

@ShaneCCC

what‘s your mean?

how to operate??

I didn’t see you run the nvargus_daemon by sudo console and launch the camera from another console(terminal)

  1. You didn’t follow the step to enable the log from nvargus_daemon.
  2. Did you remove the camera plugin manager for your sensor? Have a check the sensor programing guide.
    [url]Welcome — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation

@ShaneCCC

I didn’t remove the camera plugin manager for your sensor

  1. on Xavier, i succeed to get data through gst-launch-1.0;
    dts is ok

  2. on myself board, i fail to get data through gst-launch-1.0

    dts only modify two point
    (1)remove tca9546, Hang directly on i2c
    (2)change I2C2 (3180000) to I2C1(C240000)

What do you mean on your board? Please list the configure show be help.

@ShaneCCC

The configuration has been posted on it. Please look at it

What’s “myself board”?
Have a check the context is as your dt define at /proc/device-tree/tegra-camera-platform/modules/*

@ShaneCCC

The base plate is designed according to the core plate    ---- myself board

check my dts at /proc/device-tree/tegra-camera-platform/modules/ is correct , as follow

isp_bw_margin_pct        min_bits_per_pixel  vi_bw_margin_pct
isp_peak_byte_per_pixel  modules             vi_peak_byte_per_pixel

Still need the log from nvargus_daemon.
open another console
sudo su
ps aux | grep -i nvargus_daemon
kill the process of nvargus_daemon
ps aux| grep -i nvargus_daemon
export enableCamPclLogs=5
/usr/sbin/nvargus_daemon
You should be able see messages out while you launch camera from another console.

@ShaneCCC

nvargus_daemon hasn’t started at all ; how to kill???
