    I'm using a VOXL 2 flight controller with an M0173 Starling 2 Front End. The setup includes tracking camera, PMD TOF and a high-resolution (hires) IMX412 camera. While the tracking cameras and TOF are detected and functioning, I'm unable to get any response from the hires camera.

    I have tried reconnnecting camera again and reinstalled SDK. and downgraded to SDK 1.4.0.

    when I connected them first it worked properly and I havr disconnected the cable and connected again , it is not showing at all. I have checked reconnecting the cable properly multiple times. I even tried swapping Tracking cable to Hires but no use.

    Error I have got from voxl-camera-server

    please suggest me any fixes for this.

    My SKU is :

    this is my voxl-camera-server.config file

    cat /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf 
    /**

     *    - `large_video` 4k (ish) h264/h265 for onboard video recording to disk

    @voxl-phoenix , if you use VOXL2 with the M0173 camera front-end, when you install the VOXL2 SDK, you need to select the option 2, which enables M0173:

    PLEASE SELECT WHICH KERNEL TO FLASH

    1. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M, Starling (D0005), Sentinel (D0006), FPV (D0008), D0010, PX4 Dev Kit (D0011)
    2. M0054-1 -> QRB5165M w/ M0173 Camera Breakout Board, Starling 2 Max (D0012), Starling 2 (D0014)

    The reason for this is the M0173 has different mapping of various GPIO that controls camera functions (including on/off). The camera GPIO control is done from the Kernel, so that is why a different kernel needs to be loaded if you use M0173.

    If you don't want to re-install the whole SDK, you can update the kernel manually:

    Test the new kernel without overwriting (will not persist after reboot):

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot boot m0054-1-var00.1-kernel.img
    

    Then you can adb into the board and do a quick test to see if all cameras are detected : voxl-camera-server -l will print at the top all detected cameras (in your case should be 4 cameras).

    To permanently flash the new kernel:

    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot flash boot_a m0054-1-var00.1-kernel.img
    fastboot flash boot_b m0054-1-var00.1-kernel.img
    fastboot reboot
    

    (in order to flash the standard kernel, use m0054-1-var00.0-kernel.img)

    In order to check which kernel variant you are currently running:

    voxl2:/$ voxl-version | grep mach 
    mach.var:     1.0.0
    # this is the default kernel, not for use with M0173
    

    or

    voxl2:/$ voxl-version | grep mach
    mach.var:     1.0.1
    # this is the kernel for use with M0173
    

    If you are using M0154 (not M0054), It uses the same kernel as M0054, and will be detected as such.

    Hopefully this solves your issue.

      @Alex-Kushleyev Thank you for the advise , I have been using the kernal image which includes M0173 breakout board.

      I have TOF, tracking and Hires connected to the board it worked fine as soon as connected for first time than I can see no response from Hires but Tracking and TOF are working properly.

        I have TOF, tracking and Hires connected to the board it worked fine as soon as connected for first time than I can see no response from Hires but Tracking and TOF are working properly.

        @voxl-phoenix please make sure the cameras are connected as shown in C26 configuration https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-coax-camera-bundles/

          Yeah I did follow the exact camera connections given on C26 configuration except that I don't have a down tracking camera. everything else is same. It's weird that it worked at start and than no response at all.

              sorry for the trouble, but I can't get my head around why this is happening,

              voxl2:~$ ls /usr/lib/camera/*sensormodule*
              /usr/lib/camera/com.qti.sensormodule.ar0144_combo_0.bin

              /usr/lib/camera/com.qti.sensormodule.irs2975c_3.bin
              voxl2:~$
              

              is there any chance my SDK installation might be corrupt. I have tried using 1.4.1 and 1.4.0.

                @voxl-phoenix , can you please confirm something - did you mention that this exact hardware setup was previously working with 4 cameras and now two cameras are no longer detected?

                Regarding camera calibration, it seems the issue is that the calibrator is attempting to calibrate extrinsics (which is only done for a stereo camera setup), but you are only calibrating one camera. Let me look into that.

                  @Alex-Kushleyev I have only three cameras one TOF, Tracking, Hires each. TOF and Tracking are working properly.

                  for calibration I',m just calibrating Tracking camera with fish eye

                  voxl-calibrate-cameras -f -s 8x5 -l 0.029
                  

                  it is trying to calibrate extrinsics automatically.

                    @voxl-phoenix ,

                    Ohh, sorry for the confusion. I misread your original post and thought that you have 4 cameras connected, like C26 configuration.

                    Can you please disconnect your M0173 from VOXL2 and take a picture showing the connectors on M0173 and where each camera is connected? just to double check.

                    Alex

                        @voxl-phoenix , the connections look correct. Can you please clarify whether this setup was working (hires camera was working) and then suddenly stopped working? Or what changed between the time when it was working and now.

                          @Alex-Kushleyev I have got this camera two days back and I have connected it and tested them both they, worked fine. I had to unbrick my board so I unbricked it and installed new SDK 1.4.1.

                          It was working fine before and after installation. I have just disconnected the camera and conected it again, because I was installing it in the holder that I 3D printed, just before installing I have tested it once, it is not working since than. only once I have disconnected the cable and connected it again, it stopped working. I have checked there is no damage to cables or board. I have handled them properly.

                            @voxl-phoenix , I think you also mentioned that you tried swapping the cables between tracking and imx412 camera, right? If so, it seems something got damaged in the IMX412 camera during connecting / disconnecting. For disconnecting the cables, we suggest using a special tool, please see https://docs.modalai.com/micro-coax-user-guide/#-proper-cable-and-adapter-handling- .

                            Also, it is hard to say for sure where exactly the issue is - M0173 board or IMX412 camera. the only good way find the cause is to replace components one at a time.

                            Just to elaborate on the symptoms that you are seeing : voxl-camera-server -l command essentially probes all the cameras (based on the sensormodule files located in /usr/lib/camera). Probing involves turning the camera on via the reset GPIO and attempting to talk to the camera via I2c interface. If the camera responds, the probe is successful, otherwise failed. In your case, the probe of IMX412 failed, which means either the camera could not be turned on for various reasons or the i2c communication was not working.

                            If you have another tracking camera AR0144, you could connect it instead of the IMX412 and see if the probe succeeds. You would need to add /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/ar0144/com.qti.sensormodule.ar0144_1.bin file to /usr/lib/camera (which is the AR0144 sensormodule for the camera slot 1, where the IMX412 is currently connected). Then if you run voxl-camera-server -l and detect two AR0144 cameras (3 cameras total) then i2c communication and power should be working).
