GMSL Camera cannot be found when USB camera is connected to Jetson (using ZED SDK 5.0)

I have a setup where a USB ZED2i camera and 2 ZEDX Mini GMSL cameras are connected to the jetson. When I open ZED_Explorer to view these cameras. One of the GMSL camera says “Cannot find a valid camera”, but the other two cameras can be seen on the ZED_Explorer. As soon I disconnect the USB camera, I am able to view the two GMSL cameras on the ZED_Explorer.

Note: This setup worked fine and I was able to see all cameras in the explorer when using ZED SDK 4.2.5. But there seems to be something going on in the ZED_Explorer when updated to ZED SDK 5.0

Once you open the ZED_Explorer and try to toggle between different cameras using the drop down menu that is when I have issues opening one of the GMSL cameras.

Hi @abhishekpavani
I verified, and this seems to be a bug in ZED Explorer with ZED SDK v5.0 EA.

I reported the problem to the team and it will be fixed with the next release version
