VOXL2 Mini flip camera orientation

@Moderator
At some point the camera orientation for the voxl2 mini flipped from:
To:
Is there any way to go back to the original orientation? It makes camera mounting much easier.
Thanks!

it looks like now you are using M0135 adapter to connect the cameras to J7. Currently OV7251 is connected to J7L (camera slot 2) and IMX214 hires camera is connected to J7U (camera slot 3). If you look in
/usr/lib/camera, you will probably find there:com.qti.sensormodule.ov7251_2.bincom.qti.sensormodule.imx214_3.bin- (2 and 3 correspond to slot numbers).
So, to switch it back (move OV7251 to J7U / camera slot 3 and IMX214 to J7L / camera slot 2), you need to do the following:
- with VOXL2 mini powered off, connect the cameras into new configuration
- power on the board
- remove the two sensormodule files from
/usr/lib/camera - copy the sensormodule files with correct slot IDs from
/usr/share/modalai/chi-cdkto/usr/lib/cameracp /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/ov7251/com.qti.sensormodule.ov7251_3.bin /usr/lib/camera/cp /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/imx214/com.qti.sensormodule.imx214_2.bin /usr/lib/camera/
- do a quick test using
voxl-camera-server -lto make sure which cameras are detected and which camera ID they have - you may need to update the camera IDs in
/etc/modalai/voxl-camera-server.confsince you just swapped the cameras - the camera with lowest slot ID should have camera ID 0
I think that's all - please try and let me know if you have any issues

@Alex-Kushleyev Hey Alex, that worked for that fix. Additionally I attempted to put the same cameras on J6 in the orientation with the OV7251 on the M0135 Upper and the IMX214 on the M0135 Lower.
My understanding is that I should put the com.qti.sensormodule.ov7251_1.bin and com.qti.sensormodule.imx214_0.bin into the /usr/lib/camera folder (and delete the non-used ones).
When I run voxl-camera-server -l this only shows the tracking camera. Plugging the board back into J7 again shows both cameras when switching back to imx214_2 and ov7251_3 drivers.
Am I making a bad assumption here?
Additionally I notice that the IMX214 doesn't have drivers for _1 and _5, but does have a driver for _3. Why is this? We aren't quite sure what orientation will work best for our vehicle layout so we were hoping to be able to use all 4 configurations of double camera mounted on m0135 boards with J6 and J7.
Thanks,
Luca

If I force kill i with kill -9 proccess_num then run voxl-camera-server -l it now shows 1 camera until I reboot.
Any ideas?

If I run voxl-camera-server and then kill it voxl-camera-server -l will still show 2 cameras, but if I instead run voxl-camera-server and then in another window run voxl-inspect-cam -a the original window will no longer respond to ctrl-C. If I force kill i with kill -9 proccess_num then run voxl-camera-server -l it now shows 1 camera until I reboot.
Any ideas?
@LucaVertiq , OK so if you use J7, you can stream the both cameras fine, but only the issue with hanging happens if you switch to J6?
The reason why not all sensormodules were built for IMX214 (like _1 and _5) is actually because currently on VOXL2 (not mini), the slots 1 and 5 do not support a hires camera (those camera ports are prioritized for a stereo pair use case). However, if you need to test IMX214 in slot 1, it is not an issue, i can build it for you.
Let me try out the ov7251 tracking and IMX214 configuration on J6 (both connection options) and I will let you know if I run into any stability issues.

@Alex-Kushleyev Thanks for taking a look. I think we won't need a driver for the imx214 on port 1, as I want the camera cables to extend outwards from the board instead of lying across the board regardless of whether we have them on J6 or J7. I've done some more testing and remain stuck with this error so if you find anything please let me know! I may try reflashing to 1.1.2 as a clean slate, but I want to make sure I have all of the settings I've changed and drivers I've built saved if they aren't in the /data/ directiory

@LucaVertiq , i was able to reproduce your issue. I am using sdk 1.1.1 - on voxl2 mini the imx214 camera only works in slot 3, does not work in slots 0,1,2. This is not expected, we will look into it.

@Alex-Kushleyev Oh! I'm glad I wasn't misunderstanding how it should work. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. I was actually able to get it to work in both slots 2 and 3, just not 0 (and of course not 1 because I don't have the driver).

@LucaVertiq , we were able to get IMX214 working on all for slots (0,1,2,3), it requires a kernel update. I will check if it is simply available in a newer SDK or otherwise we will share it. Additionally, I will provide the driver for slot 1.
Should have an update tomorrow..

@Alex-Kushleyev Glad that you were able to get that working. I think I tried updating to SDK 1.2.X and was having issues with getting the camera server working, but I think I may just need to wipe. All of these things would be super useful! I'll be out for the next week, so no rush, but it's very good to know that there's a fix.

Here is the latest VOXL2 mini nightly SDK : https://storage.cloud.google.com/platform-nightlies/voxl2-mini/voxl2-mini_SDK_nightly_20240415.tar.gz
I just tested by using SDK 1.1.1 as a base and booting using the kernel from the nightly:
adb reboot bootloader fastboot boot qti-ubuntu-robotics-image-m0104-1-boot.imgIMX214 works on all 4 ports. I think you have an option of using this approach or just installing the full nightly. I am not 100% that the latest kernel is fully compatible with everything in SDK 1.1.1, so that is a bit of a risk, so using nightly is a back up option if you wanted to try the SDK 1.1.1 and something did not work as expected with the latest kernel.
If you install the full nightly, use
M0054-1board variant for the voxl2 mini.Also here are links for the imx214 sensormodule for slot 1 (regular and flip):
