Error starting camera: tof

[Anubhav]

@Alex-Gardner
Hi,

I am getting an error while running voxl-camera-server it's not getting connected to TOF camera, the output is shown below.

voxl:/$ voxl-camera-server  
WARNING Failed to set priority, errno = 1
This may be because the FIFO scheduler is not available when running in a console.
It should work properly when run as a systemd background process on boot.
WARNING: failed to set scheduler
------ voxl-camera-server: Starting camera server
	Started Camera: tracking
	Started Camera: stereo
ERROR: Invalid Preview Format!
Encountered error starting camera: tof, exiting
	Stopped Camera: tracking
	Stopped Camera: stereo

can you tell me how to resolve this issue. below I have also attached voxl-camera-server.conf file.

voxl:/$ cat /etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.conf

Hi,

It looks like you're running a version of camera server that doesn't yet support tof. We did a major refactor of camera server a few months ago and are finally merging tof support back into the mainline. How did you install this version? The complied versions shouldn't be available on any of our non-beta repos.

Hi @Alex-Gardner,

The problem is solved and TOF camera is working fine now, previously I have flashed voxl system image 3.8 and now I have again re-flashed it with 3.3 system image.

Thanks for your input!
