Zedx cameras not detected

Hello,

Three of our ZEDx cameras are not functioning. While the Jetson board detects the I²C device and loads the ZEDx driver, it consistently fails to initialize the AR0234 sensor. Here’s a relevant dmesg excerpt:

zedx 14-0011: Driver Version : v1.3.0
zedx 14-0011: ZED-X detect error
zedx 14-0011: zedx_probe: ar0234 initialization failed
zedx: probe of 14-0011 failed with error -1
Other two ZEDx cameras work fine with the same cable and port. This specific unit never appears under /dev/video* and cannot be used by the ZED SDK.

Please advise on the next step on how to fix this.

Thanks,

Was this resolved ? @ThuanTerraForce . I am facing the same issue currently.

Hi @snknitheesh. Yes it was resolved, Walter from Stereolabs sent me a custom script. For my case, it was the corrupted EEPROM of the Zedx camera. To run the script, only connect the one bad camera to the GMSL capture card. Replace “{Serial Number}” with the actual serial number of the camera. Save the script and run it. Try it and let me know if you need further assistance.

Run in a terminal: sudo ./restore_eeprom_{Serial Number}.sh

if [[ -z $1 ]]
then
echo “Please connect only the Zed X with the wrong serial number (SN29), use the script as such: sudo ./restore_eeprom_support.sh {Serial Number}”
exit 1
fi

if [[ $1 -eq {Serial Number} ]]
then
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x00 0x58 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x01 0x27 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x02 0xC1 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x03 0x02 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x04 0x11 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x05 0x03 i
sudo i2cset -y -f 13 0x55 0x06 0x02 i
echo “SN restored to {Serial Number}”
else
echo “Wrong serial number entered, please try again”
exit 1
fi

Thanks @ThuanTerraForce for the detailed response. Looks like my case is a bit different. None of the cameras work for me. I have 3 ZED X One cameras and 2 ZED X mini attached on the Quad link. Not sure if this is gonna help. But I will try it for sure.
