ZED X camera - Error CAMERA REBOOTING, (Argus) Error FileOperationFailed, InvalidState

Good afternoon,

Today I was scheduled to present an industrial robotics project to a client, and unfortunately, during the demonstration, errors appeared in the data reception from the ZED X camera. This situation was completely unexpected.

This problem had already occurred previously on other Jetson platforms using SDK 5.0. However, it is now recurring with SDK 5.1, which is particularly concerning. To reconnect the camera correctly, a complete Jetson reboot is required, which is impractical in an industrial environment and critical for the project’s continuity.

Because of this, this behavior calls into question the reliability of the ZED X camera for industrial applications, relegating it more to prototyping use.

My Jetson platform version and configuration are as follows:

Software part of jetson-stats 4.3.2 - (c) 2024, Raffaello Bonghi
Model: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Engineering Reference Developer Kit - Jetpack 6.2 [L4T 36.4.3]
NV Power Mode[0]: MAXN
Serial Number: [XXX Show with: jetson_release -s XXX]
Hardware:

  • P-Number: p3767-0000
  • Module: NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (16GB ram)
    Platform:
  • Distribution: Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish
  • Release: 5.15.148-tegra
    jtop:
  • Version: 4.3.2
  • Service: Active
    Libraries:
  • CUDA: 12.6.68
  • cuDNN: 9.3.0.75
  • TensorRT: 10.3.0.30
  • VPI: 3.2.4
  • Vulkan: 1.3.204
  • OpenCV: 4.8.0 - with CUDA: NO

I would appreciate it if you could inform me what is causing these errors and how they can be resolved.

I have attached the corresponding error logs and the dmesg.log file for your review.

I look forward to your comments.

Hi @daniel.mirs
Welcome to the Stereolabs community.

Normally, this is not required. The command sudo service zed_x_daemon restart should be enough to recover a camera.

If it’s not working, it means that something weird is happening.

What carrier board and GMSL2 capture card are you using?
