Cannot verify installation in Jetson AGX Orin

[tunahanertekin]

Hi,

I'm trying to run DFK 37AUR0234 camera on my NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin (arm64 / Ubuntu 22.04) using the directives in README. However I couldn't verify installation using tcam-capture or gstreamer.

I completed the steps in README successfully. When I run tcam-capture and enable "Auto Select", a window pops up saying:

Unable to open device. Please check gstreamer log 'tcam*:5' for more information.

Here are the screenshots:

When I try to verify installation using gstreamer, the logs say:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstTcamBin:tcambin0/GstTcamSrc:tcambin-source: Failed to find any device to open.
Additional debug info:
/home/robolaunch/Desktop/dev/tiscamera/src/gstreamer-1.0/tcamsrc/gsttcamsrc.cpp(249): open_source_element (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstTcamBin:tcambin0/GstTcamSrc:tcambin-source
ERROR: pipeline doesn't want to preroll.
Failed to set pipeline to PAUSED.
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...

I should state that I only followed the steps available in README for reproducing the issue. I can start installation from scratch if you need installation logs and share them if you require. Thanks in advance.

FYI, I tested the camera with same installation steps in x86 desktop, Ubuntu 22.04 and I was able to verify the installation using tcam-capture, but still cannot make it work in NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin.

Dear tunahanertekin, in the first image you sent is no camera shown. Please make sure the camera is connected via USB 3. Do not use USB Type C cable which is used for charging Smartphones. These cables often have Data lanes disabled or work seriously bad.

Is any USB Port damaged / disabled on your Hardware? Make sure and try other USB Ports.

Best Regards, Kevin

I updated the camera model, it's DFK 37AUR0234.

Hi @TIS-Kevin,

Thanks for your response.

The cable I use for connection is the original cable provided by TIS, and it worked w/ x86 Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows. I think the cable case is eliminated.

I checked the USB ports in my Jetson AGX Orin and found out that the ports I tried are the type "USB 3.2 Gen 2". The ports are working when I plug another device, so I assume they are not damaged or disabled. I have tried all 4 USB ports in Jetson.

Do you have any other idea why it fails to work with Jetson AGX Orin? Are there any other steps necessary to execute for Jetpack 6 or arm64 architecture maybe?

[tunahanertekin]

FYI, I discovered that there are no ports such as /dev/videoX after I plug the USB in to Jetson AGX Orin. The same camera's port was available in x86 Ubuntu 22.04 as /dev/videoX.

Dear tunahanertekin, the camera should be listed by following command: sudo dmesg

another command for listing usb devices is lsusb -t

can you find the camera in both commands? You can also send the Output to us as textfile so we can check.

Hi @TIS-Kevin,

Here are the outputs of the commands you requested. (and v4l2 device list)

sudo dmesg

ps. Here's the summary of latest situation :

• Camera (TIS DFK 37AUR0234) can work on these platforms and has a video port (/dev/videoX)
  • amd64 / PC / Ubuntu 22.04
  • arm64 / Orange Pi / Ubuntu 22.04
  • PC / Windows 10/11
• In Jetson AGX Orin (Jetpack 6 / Ubuntu 22.04)
  • No video port (/dev/videoX) when plugging TIS DFK 37AUR0234
  • Other USB cameras can work
  • Intel Realsense D435i is available as /dev/video0
  • Intel Realsense D435i can function

Dear tunahanertekin, i tried a Jetson AGX Orin (Jetpack 5) and it worked like a charm. Since you confirmed the camera is not broken via the amd64 PC i suggest to try JetPack 5 or get in contact with Nvidia Support.
