cam does not seem to be alive issue

Everything looks correct. Is this the first time you are trying this configuration (and it has never worked)? Has this AR0144 camera worked before? And you also tried to put AR0144 camera on J7L and use sensormodule 2 for it? Do you have another AR0144 camera to try?
I will try this configuration today to double check.
@Alex-Kushleyev
I can confirm that the ar0144 module works.
it works if i switch to J7L and then the imx connected to J7L wont work when it is connected to J7U.
I know the setup works because i am currently running it with the same hardware on another voxl2@Vinny
thank you for the comment, I will bring an ESD mat. -

One more test would be connecting the whole flex to J6 and seeing if you can get J6U to work with either AR0144 or IMX412. If it works on J6U, then the issue may be on the voxl2 side of the hardware (in J7U connector path).

Thank you for the help, I have tried a different cable and it didn't work either, plus this flex is working when I am using it on a different voxl2@giladWDS , it seems that there is a HW issue on the VOXL2 side with J7U. Specifically, any camera connected to it is not detected, which could be either i2c or power issue.
Is it an option for you to connect the AR0144 camera to J8L ?
In order to figure the problem the board would most likely need to be sent back to us for inspection.

@giladWDS I did a quick test on my set up with IMX214 connected, and it has no issue with 5 or 10 fps with largest resolution 4208x3120 preview. I am pretty sure i tested slower (than 30) FPS on IMX412 before. Can you please try some other FPS (15, 20, 25) and see if you can find any pattern of cases that do not work? Also what if you disable one of the cameras. I am just trying to think what can cause this..
I will get a chance to test with two IMX412 tomorrow.

I have tested different layouts with different cameras disabled and it didn't work either.
for some reason, the voxl won't accept any other frame rate in the config file other than 30. -

/usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/imx412-fpv/com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_fpv_0.bin
/usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/imx412-fpv/com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_fpv_2.bininstead of com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_0.bin com.qti.sensormodule.imx412_2.bin (remove or rename these first).
please note that it is possible that the "fpv" version of the sensormodules may not have the full resolution in your older system image (latest ones do), which you can check using
voxl-camera-server -l, but i think it should..Edit: i also tried the modules you used, and works fine for me (i tested using a single camera)
One more thing to try is to lock camera server to faster cpu cores, which can be done in the following way from command line (you should stop the camera server service first):
taskset --cpu-list 4-7 voxl-camera-serverIf this still does not work, please provide output of dmesg and logcat saved to separate files, so i can potentially see the reason for the crash. Thanks! (well, even if one of the solutions works, i would still be curious what error you were getting before!)

@Alex-Kushleyev
It would take some time to do this since I found a workaround compiling the camera server from source with a small fix:
I changed the hal3_camera_mgr.cpp
from:
int32_t frame_rate_rate[] = {fps,fps};
into:
int32_t frame_rate_rate[] = {1,30};
I know this is hacky and will probably bite me if I try to put higher fps for low fps cameras like a tof or something but it works for now.
I will get back to it and update. -

I believe we had to use the following line in order to enable fps higher than 30 (or higher than 60, i forget), otherwise the high fps was not working.
int32_t frame_rate_rate[] = {fps,fps};We will keep this in mind, however I am not able to reproduce your issues, so we'll just keep this conversation open.

Regarding flight deck, is it voxl2 flight deck or voxl1?

Perhaps the solution will be to check if desired fps is less than 30, then use the different fps range, but I would like to reproduce first, since i am able to set the fps correctly below 30 as is.

@Alex-Kushleyev
the flight-deck is a voxl2 unit (qrb chip)
with voxl-camera-server 1.8.9 on 1.1.2 SDK
other than that one imx412 is enough for the server to crash but let me know if you want the full config and/or driver list -

There have been many fixes and updates since 1.1.2 and 1.2.0.
I just tested again on our latest camera server and no issue running 5 or 10hz preview at full resolution 4056x3040.

@Alex-Kushleyev
I will test it with the flight deck and let you know as soon as I can@giladWDS , I believe i was able to reproduce the issue. It seems you cannot set the fps lower than 15fps only when you have raw preview enabled and no other streams that use ISP are running. Can you please confirm that this is the case?
If you have non-raw preview or other streams enabled like small or large video, then what happens the pipeline will actually drop frames to achieve the desired fps. So it is not ideal, that is to say that the camera is still sending higher fps, but the frames are dropped. However, the overhead for receiving extra frames and dropping them at lowest level is not too big. I will investigate if we can actually set the camera to run at the desired lower fps.
I am pretty sure that i can fix it, perhaps using the fix you already found, but can you please confirm that this is your camera configuration, if possible just paste your hires camera config here. Thanks!

@Alex-Kushleyev
sorry for the delay,
this sounds about right.
I'm not sure about the 15 fps but we do use raw preview only for our application and no other stream
this is my camera conf file:cat /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf /** * voxl-camera-server Configuration File * * Each camera has configurations for up to 4 HAL3 streams: * - `preview` stream for raw unprocessed images from CV cameras * - `small_video` 720p (ish) h264/h265 compressed for fpv video streaming * - `large_video` 4k (ish) h264/h265 for onboard video recording to disk * - `snapshot` ISP-processed JPG snapshots that get saved to disk * * on QRB5165 platforms (VOXL2 and VOXL2 mini) you can only have 3 of the 4 enabled * * This file is generated from default values by voxl-configure-cameras. * Do not expect arbitrary resolutions to work, the ISP and video compression * pipelines only support very specific resolutions. * * The default video compression mode is cqp or Constant Quantization Parameter * * * */ { "version": 0.1, "cameras": [{ "type": "ov7251", "name": "stereo", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 0, "camera_id_second": 1, "independent_exposure": false, "fps": 30, "en_rotate": false, "en_rotate_second": false, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 640, "preview_height": 480, "en_raw_preview": true, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 60, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 54, "gain_max": 8000, "exposure_soft_min_us": 5000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.600000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 1 }, { "type": "imx412", "name": "hires2", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 2, "fps": 3, "en_rotate": true, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 4056, "preview_height": 3040, "en_raw_preview": false, "en_small_video": false, "small_video_width": 1024, "small_video_height": 768, "small_venc_mode": "h265", "small_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "small_venc_Qfixed": 30, "small_venc_Qmin": 15, "small_venc_Qmax": 40, "small_venc_nPframes": 9, "small_venc_mbps": 2, "en_large_video": false, "large_video_width": 2048, "large_video_height": 1536, "large_venc_mode": "h265", "large_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "large_venc_Qfixed": 38, "large_venc_Qmin": 15, "large_venc_Qmax": 50, "large_venc_nPframes": 29, "large_venc_mbps": 30, "en_snapshot": false, "en_snapshot_width": 4056, "en_snapshot_height": 3040, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 65, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 20, "gain_max": 250, "exposure_soft_min_us": 3000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.700000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 0.5 }, { "type": "imx412", "name": "hires", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 3, "fps": 3, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 4056, "preview_height": 3040, "en_raw_preview": false, "en_small_video": false, "small_video_width": 1024, "small_video_height": 768, "small_venc_mode": "h265", "small_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "small_venc_Qfixed": 30, "small_venc_Qmin": 15, "small_venc_Qmax": 40, "small_venc_nPframes": 9, "small_venc_mbps": 2, "en_large_video": false, "large_video_width": 4056, "large_video_height": 3040, "large_venc_mode": "h265", "large_venc_br_ctrl": "cqp", "large_venc_Qfixed": 38, "large_venc_Qmin": 15, "large_venc_Qmax": 50, "large_venc_nPframes": 29, "large_venc_mbps": 30, "en_snapshot": false, "en_snapshot_width": 4056, "en_snapshot_height": 3040, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 65, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 20, "gain_max": 250, "exposure_soft_min_us": 3000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.700000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 0.5 }, { "type": "ov7251", "name": "tracking", "enabled": true, "camera_id": 4, "fps": 30, "en_rotate": false, "en_preview": true, "preview_width": 640, "preview_height": 480, "en_raw_preview": true, "ae_mode": "lme_msv", "ae_desired_msv": 60, "exposure_min_us": 20, "exposure_max_us": 33000, "gain_min": 54, "gain_max": 8000, "exposure_soft_min_us": 5000, "ae_filter_alpha": 0.600000023841858, "ae_ignore_fraction": 0.20000000298023224, "ae_slope": 0.05000000074505806, "ae_exposure_period": 1, "ae_gain_period": 1 }] }hope this helps
