  4. Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)Quick Start Guide - Arducam Wiki for IMX477 camera module.

  5. Problems you were having?
    Installed 12MP multi-camera kit on Jetson agx orin devkit. Added one camera on slot 3.

The V4L2 shows:

$ v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
	Type: Video Capture

	[0]: 'RG10' (10-bit Bayer RGRG/GBGB)
		Size: Discrete 4032x3040
			Interval: Discrete 0.048s (21.000 fps)
		Size: Discrete 3840x2160
			Interval: Discrete 0.033s (30.000 fps)
		Size: Discrete 1920x1080
			Interval: Discrete 0.017s (60.000 fps)

Accessing the camera kit using this commands sequence:

SENSOR_ID=0
FRAMERATE=21
width=4032
height=3040
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=$SENSOR_ID ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=$width,height=$height,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1" ! nvvidconv ! nvoverlaysink

I got:

Why do I get Internal data stream error?

There is only one camera on slot 3, and it is detected by kernel.

  1. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?

  2. What help do you need?
    The root cause of Internal data stream error and make the camera operational.

@reza

Please reboot and then use the command below

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat='RG10' --stream-mmap --stream-count=-1 --set-ctrl=sensor_mode=2

Hi @Edward,
What is the expected output from above command? I get a bunch of these lines:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 60.00 fps

@reza

This is the expected output.

I think the camera is fine.
Could you please try a smaller resolution like 1920x1080 using Gstreamer?

SENSOR_ID=0
FRAMERATE=60
width=1902
height=1080
gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc sensor-id=$SENSOR_ID ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=$width,height=$height,framerate=$FRAMERATE/1" ! nvvidconv ! nvoverlaysink

By the way, whenever your run GStreamer failed, you need to reboot you system or use the command below:

sudo systemctl restart nvargus-daemon.service

Hi @Edward,
I got this after running the gst-launch command:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "nvoverlaysink"
