Cameras do not stream video

Hi,

I’m having trouble getting two Stereolabs ZED XOne GS cameras working on a Jetson.

System:

  • Jetson Orin

  • JetPack 6.2.1

  • L4T 36.4.4

  • Linux kernel 5.15.148

  • CUDA 12.6

  • TensorRT 10.3.0

  • cuDNN 9.3.0.75

Cameras / ZED:

  • 2 × ZED XOne GS

  • GMSL via MAX96712

  • ZED SDK 5.5.0

  • ZEDLink Duo 1.4.3-LI-MAX96712-L4T36.4.0

The cameras are correctly detected by ZED Explorer, GMSL/I2C communication works, the kernel detects both sensors, and /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 are created.

However, the cameras cannot actually stream any frames. Even using v4l2-ctl directly on the host, no frames are received.

The ZED SDK then fails with:

CAMERA FAILED TO SETUP

and the process exits with code -11.

Im trying to launch them with ros2 wrapper in docker and it returns with a log:

component_container_isolated-1] [2026-10-06 18:33:24 UTC][ZED][ERROR] [ZED-Argus][Critical] Cannot create iQueue (produceSingleV5)

I have already:

  • upgraded ZED SDK from 5.2.2 to 5.5.0,

  • reinstalled the stereolabs-zedlink-duo package,

  • verified that the cameras are detected correctly,

  • tested the cameras directly through V4L2.

The problem seems to be somewhere between the ZED sensor/GMSL pipeline and the Jetson VI/CSI capture layer.

Has anyone successfully run ZED XOne GS + ZEDLink Duo MAX96712 on JetPack 6.2.1 / L4T 36.4.4? Thanks!

Hi @SirMichcik
Welcome to the StereoLabs community.

This is a generic information. What type of Jetson Orin are you using?

Please share the code that you are using.

Thanks for the reply.

I am using NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Engineering Reference Developer Kit

Im launching ros2 launch zed_wrapper zed_camera.launch.py camera_model:=zedxonegs camera_name:=zed_front on the 5.5.0 zed_ros2_wrapper pkg.

Who is the producer? This is not a device supported by the ZED X Driver.
You need a custom driver to use this board with our cameras.

You have two options:

  • contact the producer and ask to them to develop a custom driver
  • contact us at support@stereolabs.com to ask to be invited to the GitHub repository of the ZED X Driver to develop a compatible driver yourself

I understand that it may not be directly supported, although it was working on 5.2.2 before. Perfectly fine with 1 camera, problems with stability occured after adding 2nd camera and then upgrading to 5.5 results in errors above. Therefore i am quite certain that correct setup is possible on this hardware configuration.

Unfortunately, we cannot support you with this because this is not an officially supported configuration.

Could you at least point me in the right direction with component_container_isolated-1] [2026-10-06 18:33:24 UTC][ZED][ERROR] [ZED-Argus][Critical] Cannot create iQueue (produceSingleV5) error?

Also, i have just tested that camera is streaming with ZED_Explorer when the graphical interface is active.

Do you mean that with ZED Explorer and a connected screen it works as expected?
Is it the same with ZED Depth Viewer?

Exactly, after connecting a display i can see camera stream on ZED_Explorer.

No, here i get “waiting for camera” while ZED_Explorer is streaming the video at the same time.
