Hardware Requirements
---------------------
ARM board with ARMv8-compatible 64-bit processor
Allied Vision GigE cameras require a built-in Gigabit Ethernet network interface
or at least one Gigabit Ethernet network card.
Note for IP configuration:
By default, IP Configuration Mode is set to DHCP.
You can also select LLA (link-local address) if you connect just one camera.
If multiple cameras are connected at the same time, we recommend using
DHCP or Persistent IP Address to enable discovery of all cameras.
Allied Vision USB cameras require a built-in USB 3.0 controller for PCI Express bus.
------------------------
Tested Operating Systems
------------------------
Vimba was tested on NVIDIA Xavier NX with:
- JetPack 4.6 (L4T 32.6.1) - GigE and USB cameras
- JetPack 4.5.1 (L4T 32.5.1) - CSI-2 cameras
------------------------------------
Prerequisites for CSI-2 camera users
------------------------------------
The driver for Allied Vision CSI-2 is not included in the Linux kernel provided
by the manufacturer of the board.
Before installing Vimba, please install the driver, see:
https://github.com/alliedvision
--------------------------------------
Supported CSI-2 cameras and ARM boards
--------------------------------------
Supported CSI-2 camera models and ARM boards are listed in this document:
https://alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/software/software/embedded/Getting_started_with_GenICam_for_CSI.pdf
------------
Installation
------------
Allied Vision Vimba comes as a tarball. In order to set up Vimba, follow these steps:
- Uncompress the archive with the command tar -xf ./Vimba.tgz to a
directory you have writing privileges for like /opt. Under this directory
Vimba will be installed in its own folder. In the following, we will refer
to this path as [InstallDir].
- Go to [InstallDir]/VimbaGigETL and/or [InstallDir]/VimbaUSBTL and execute the shell
script Install.sh with super user privileges (e.g., sudo ./Install.sh). This
registers the GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH and/or the GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH environment
variable through a startup script in /etc/profile.d so that every GenICam GenTL
consumer (such as the examples that ship with Allied Vision Vimba) can access the
Allied Vision Gigabit Ethernet and USB Transport Layers. Please note that this is a
per-user setting. If transport layers are not found, follow the instructions in this document:
https://alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/software/software/Vimba/appnote/Vimba_installation_under_Linux.pdf
- Reboot computer
Vimba Viewer:
Vimba Viewer can be found in, for example, [InstallDir]/Tools/Viewer/Bin/x86_64bit/.
This program allows you to configure your Allied Vision cameras and capture images.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
- To build Vimba Viewer, install the libcanberra-gtk-module
apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module
Vimba includes many precompiled examples that can be found in
Vimba/VimbaC/Examples/Bin and Vimba/VimbaCPP/Examples/Bin.
If you want to compile these examples yourself, please refer to the user manual
for instructions and required packages.
For uninstalling Vimba, remove the startup scripts by running the shell scripts
Uninstall.sh as super user. This prevents any GenTL consumer from loading the
Vimba and USB Transport Layers. Then simply remove the
installation directory.
------------
Known Issues
------------
- When experiencing trouble with image acquisition, try to increase the priority
of your application with "sudo -E nice -n -20 <command>".
GigE Transport Layer:
- A change of the available camera access modes cannot be reported for cameras
in different subnets or with malconfigured IP addresses. These cameras can
be accessed in configuration mode from different hosts simultaneously.
- Not all ARM boards come with a GigE network interface. When acquiring images
with only 100 Mbit/s, make sure to set the "StreamBytesPerSecond" feature to
a reasonable small value (12 400 000). This adjustment is done automatically
when the camera is connected directly to a 100 Mbit/s interface.
Tranport layers not found (Error -16):
- Please follow the instructions in this document:
https://alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/software/software/Vimba/appnote/Vimba_installation_under_Linux.pdf
- Vimba Firmware Updater and FWUpdaterConsole.exe:
Mako-U cameras are not detected after updating the firmware.
To detect the camera, please reboot the board.
Camera detection:
- If multiple IP addresses are configured on one physical Ethernet adapter,
then Vimba sends GVCP discovery requests only to the last added IP address.
Therefore, the camera is detected only if its IP address was added last.
Vimba Viewer:
- If a GigE camera was opened and then closed with Vimba Viewer,
it is displayed as locked and Vimba Viewer does not open it again.
Workaround: Close and open Vimba Viewer.
- When multiple opened GigE cameras are disconnected at the same time
while no other camera stays connected to the very same NIC,
the Vimba Viewer's camera windows stay open.
- qt error: please install libpng12 if it is missing. See:
https://cdn.alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/software/software/Vimba/appnote/libpng-installation.pdf
- After streaming several hours, the displayed image is not updated.
Changing camera settings results in a black image. Stopping and starting image acquisition
updates the displayed image. The issue affects only the displayed image, not the image itself.
Vimba code examples
- qt error: please install libpng12 if it is missing. See:
https://cdn.alliedvision.com/fileadmin/content/documents/products/software/software/Vimba/appnote/libpng-installation.pdf
Vimba Documentation:
- Some apps and browsers currently don't support relative links from one
document to another document. We have successfully tested relative links
with Adobe Acrobat.
Vimba APIs:
- When API startup and shutdown is performed excessively within the same process,
camera initialization may fail sporadically, which may cause exceptions.
We recommend to have only one API session during one process.
CSI-2:
- Please use “alloc and announce” for best performance, see the AsynchrounousGrab example.
(C++: Program.Config.h, optional parameter /x, C: Program.c, optional parameter /x, Python:
optional parameter /x).
- Switching the camera from GenICam for CSI-2 to V4L2 or vice versa requires rebooting the board
- Exposure times greater than approx. 1 second: Stopping acquisition may cause an error. Please
close and open the camera to start streaming again.
- Executing the Device Reset GenICam command leads to camera communication failures.
- Not all ROIs work when Mono8 is applied.
- When a ROI or a different pixel format is applied and the camera is closed and opened again, image
acquisition doesn’t start in some cases. To enable image acquisition again, open the camera with
Vimba Viewer (even if you set the ROI with a third-party viewer). In some cases, rebooting
the board is necessary.
- Issues that may occur occasionally:
- AGX Xavier: Camera stays in locked state after camera handle is closed
