Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">I am getting an error while running voxl-camera-server it's not getting connected to TOF camera, the output is shown below.</p>
<pre><code>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

<p dir="auto">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.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for your input!</p>

<p dir="auto">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.</p>
