Realsense R200 freezes with NVIDIA Tegra K1

JO_o — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 20:58:04 GMT

When we plug the Realsense R200 in to our TK1, running the "r200_nodelet_default" node, it freezes the TK1, does not show any further messages, and does not show any errors after this message:

[ INFO] [1474748112.582733021]: /camera - Starting camera

We have to always press the Reset button on the TK1 after this happens.

Any idea why the Realsense freezes the node/TK1?

Here's what we've tried:

To make sure Realsense gets enough power, we plugged it in to a USB hub, which has its own power adapter.
To make sure it's not a USB speed issue, we disconnected all other things to the USB hub, which is USB 3.0
We have the Grinch kernel installed on the TK1.
To make sure it's not an HDMI issue, we removed the cable and are SSHing into the TK1.
Power draw is ~10-15% before running ROS, and ~20% running ROS and the node, regardless of whether the camera is plugged in.

Update: Running "r200_nodelet_rgbd.launch" with the Realsense plugged in makes all cores go to 100% and freezing.

I have forwarded this information to the appropriate team. I will update this thread as soon as news become available.

Hello Mr. Roboroborobo,

The R200 camera is only validated to run on Intel processors. Please connect your camera to a supported system such as one with a 6th Gen Intel Core Processor running Windows 10, or if you prefer Linux or Android, a system with Atom Z8000 series processor, and see if it works for you.

Running the R200 on an Nvidia system will lead to indeterminate results.

Best regards,

Jesus Garcia
