I am running multiple ZED cameras in Isaac ROS using the zed_multi_camera launch file example provided in the ZED ROS 2 Examples repository on a Jetson AGX Orin equipped with a ZED Link Capture Card Quad. My setup uses GMSL Driver version 1.4.2 and ZED SDK version 5.2.2. The Jetson is running Jetson Linux 36.5 with JetPack 6.2.2.
I am using two different pairs of ZED X Mini cameras with the same launch configuration, changing only the camera serial numbers. One camera pair operates correctly, while the other pair intermittently fails to be detected or reports calibration errors.
To troubleshoot the issue, I have already:
-
Recalibrated the affected cameras
-
Downloaded and applied the factory calibration files from Stereolabs
-
Restarted the
zed_x_daemonservice -
Restarted the
nvargus-daemonservice -
Rebooted the Jetson system
Unfortunately, the problem persists.
I have attached the log containing the errors encountered during startup. Any assistance in diagnosing and resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
