# voxl-camera-server not finding IMX678 Source: https://forum.modalai.com/topic/3223/voxl-camera-server-not-finding-imx678 Category: General Questions (https://forum.modalai.com/category/2/general-questions) Posted: 2024-03-15 17:56:20 UTC by wetherbeej Replies: 4 · Views: 1295 ## wetherbeej · 2024-03-15 17:56:20 UTC I have a new VOXL2 with voxl-suite 1.1.3-1: ``` -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- system-image: 1.7.4-M0054-14.1a-perf kernel: #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 9 22:38:25 UTC 2024 4.19.125 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hw platform: M0054 mach.var: 1.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- voxl-suite: 1.1.3-1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- no current network connection -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ``` I have an MDK-M0061-2-06 IMX678 hires camera connected via M0084 Dual Camera Adapter JU to VOXL2 Camera Group 1 J7. When I first have voxl-camera-server list connected cameras it of course doesn't find the camera until I copy over the .bin for that camera. Once I copy the .bin to `/usr/lib/camera` then it seems to find the camera, but yet it also thinks it doesn't find it. Excerpt: ``` DEBUG: Cam idx: 0, Cam slot: 3, Slave Address: 0x0034, Sensor Id: 0xA602 DEBUG: Number of cameras: 0 ``` I have also used the configuration file helper script: ` camera-server-config-helper hires:imx678:0` Rebooting doesn't help. What step am I missing to get the IMX678 to be used by voxl-camera-server? ### Reference: Showing no camera, then copying the .bin file, then pseudo-finding the camera: ``` voxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server -l DEBUG: Attempting to open the hal module DEBUG: SUCCESS: Camera module opened on attempt 0 DEBUG: ----------- Number of cameras: 0 DEBUG: Note: This list comes from the HAL module and may not be indicative DEBUG: of configurations that have full pipelines DEBUG: Number of cameras: 0 voxl2:/$ cp /usr/share/modalai/chi-cdk/imx678/com.qti.sensormodule.imx678_3.bin /usr/lib/camera/ voxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server -l DEBUG: Attempting to open the hal module DEBUG: SUCCESS: Camera module opened on attempt 0 DEBUG: ----------- Number of cameras: 0 DEBUG: Cam idx: 0, Cam slot: 3, Slave Address: 0x0034, Sensor Id: 0xA602 DEBUG: Note: This list comes from the HAL module and may not be indicative DEBUG: of configurations that have full pipelines DEBUG: Number of cameras: 0 ``` I configured the camera as: ``` voxl2:/$ camera-server-config-helper hires:imx678:0 successfully wrote this camera config to disk: ================================================================= configuration for 1 cameras: cam #0 name: hires sensor type: imx678 isEnabled: 1 camId: 0 camId2: -1 fps: 30 en_rotate: 0 en_rotate2: 0 en_preview: 0 pre_width: 640 pre_height: 480 en_raw_preview: 0 en_small_video: 1 small_video_width: 1024 small_video_height: 768 en_large_video: 1 large_video_width: 2048 large_video_height: 1536 en_snapshot: 1 snap_width: 3840 snap_height: 2160 ae_mode: isp standby_enabled: 0 decimator: 1 independent_exposure:0 ================================================================= camera_server_config_helper is done ``` Trying to just run the camera-server: ``` voxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server ================================================================= configuration for 1 cameras: cam #0 name: hires sensor type: imx678 isEnabled: 1 camId: 0 camId2: -1 fps: 30 en_rotate: 0 en_rotate2: 0 en_preview: 0 pre_width: 640 pre_height: 480 en_raw_preview: 0 en_small_video: 1 small_video_width: 1024 small_video_height: 768 en_large_video: 1 large_video_width: 2048 large_video_height: 1536 en_snapshot: 1 snap_width: 3840 snap_height: 2160 ae_mode: isp standby_enabled: 0 decimator: 1 independent_exposure:0 ================================================================= ERROR: Found zero cameras connected, need at least one. ``` ## Reply by Alex Kushleyev (ModalAI staff) · 2024-03-15 20:37:32 UTC @wetherbeej , can you please run `voxl-camera-server -d 0` (in debug mode) ## Reply by wetherbeej · 2024-03-15 20:39:10 UTC (in reply to Alex Kushleyev) @Alex-Kushleyev ``` voxl2:/$ voxl-camera-server -d 0 ================================================================= configuration for 1 cameras: cam #0 name: hires sensor type: imx678 isEnabled: 1 camId: 0 camId2: -1 fps: 30 en_rotate: 0 en_rotate2: 0 en_preview: 0 pre_width: 640 pre_height: 480 en_raw_preview: 0 en_small_video: 1 small_video_width: 1024 small_video_height: 768 en_large_video: 1 large_video_width: 2048 large_video_height: 1536 en_snapshot: 1 snap_width: 3840 snap_height: 2160 ae_mode: isp standby_enabled: 0 decimator: 1 independent_exposure:0 ================================================================= DEBUG: Attempting to open the hal module DEBUG: SUCCESS: Camera module opened on attempt 0 DEBUG: ----------- Number of cameras: 0 DEBUG: Cam idx: 0, Cam slot: 3, Slave Address: 0x0034, Sensor Id: 0xA602 ERROR: Found zero cameras connected, need at least one. ``` ## Reply by wetherbeej · 2024-03-15 20:42:53 UTC (in reply to Alex Kushleyev) @Alex-Kushleyev Turns out I was missing: `/usr/lib/camera/com.qti.tuned.default.bin` It appears to be working now. ## Reply by Alex Kushleyev (ModalAI staff) · 2024-03-15 20:46:30 UTC (in reply to wetherbeej) @wetherbeej oh, yes.. that would do it. I was just going to ask about that. By the way we are working on some camera-specific tuning tuning files, should be coming soon. The default may result in image colors appearing a bit off. However, we don't have a tuning file ready for IMX678 just yet. If the current image quality is of a big concern, please let me know.
