• DepthAI-v2

  • Illegal instruction (core dumped) when running depthai demo on jetson xavier nx

I'm running the depthai install and demo in a python virtualenv on a jetson xavier nx which yields a core dump. My other python virtualenv on the jetson that runs tensorflow runs with no core dump.

Any clue on resolving the core dump would be much appreciated.

Background
The jetson xavier nx is running Ubuntu 18.04.

I commented out the open3d==0.10.0.0 line in the requirement file to get the install_requirments.py to run successfully.

I installed opencv 4.5.1 using a script from https://github.com/mdegans/nano_build_opencv.

I followed the depthai install dependencies instructions before running the install_requirments.py.

Terminal Output showing depthai successful install and running demo (with core dump), and then import of depthai (loads successfully), cv2, numpy (both generate a core dump).

Seems like I at least partially found the solution, at least for the first error.

I realized that the architecture aarch64 is the key.

opencv-python has a download for aarch64 in 3.4.13.47, and then not again until 4.5.1.

I backed down to opencv to 3.4.13 and opencv-python to 3.4.13.47 and the core dump goes away.

I haven't figured why opencv 4.5.1 doesn't work.

However, now I'm getting an error when downloading the model (I get the same error when attempting to run calibrate):

Note: when I edit depthai/resources/nn/openpose/model.yml, I see references to "human_pose," but nothing for "openpose."

    rymd80 Sorry about the delay here.

    So as an update, there is a related PR here for the build for Jetson (Nano, at least, but I think Xavier should work as well).

    https://github.com/luxonis/depthai/pull/329

    On the model downloader failing, is the Xavier connected to the internet? And can it access http://luxonis.com:8080/ ?

    I'll ask Szabi if he has any ideas on the model downloader as well (he wrote it).

    Thanks,
    Brandon

      Hello.
      Can you try on a clean repo?
      I think you edited the model.yml. It shouldn't be edited, unless custom model is added.

      Openpose is the same as human-pose-estimation-0001, openpose folder is a symlink for backward compatibility.
      Just run: python3 depthai_demo.py -cnn openpose

          I didn't edit, but a git status shows:

          On branch main
          Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

          Changes not staged for commit:

          No idea how those deletes happened... I'm not normally into randomly editing or deleting files that aren't mine, but I've done stranger things...

          Then I did

          git reset --hard HEAD
          git fetch
          git checkout pi_zero_wheel
          python3 install_requirements.py
          python3 depthai_demo.py -rgbf 5

          and demo ran successfully.

          (Oh I had to comment out open3d in requirements-optional.txt)

          Thanks for the help.

              rymd80
              Good to know, thanks.
              The failure of open3d installation is not an error, since it's only optional. (Not supported on all platforms)

                a month later

                I know this is a late to the party, but I built OpenCV for my Jetson Xavier AGX, and I too got the error when I tried to use CV2. Here is the information that I found that worked really well to resolve that issue:

                CV2 Illegal Instructions Resolution:
                add export OPENBLAS_CORETYPE=ARMV8 to your .bashrc should fix it.

                  CactusJackFX thank you, your solution worked for me too on a Jetson Xavier NX!

                  @Brandon is the solution for the build on Jetson valid only for Gen 1 at the moment? Do you know if there is there a way to build DepthAI Gen 2 on a Jetson?

                      Letty So @themarpe actually knows on this. I risk being wrong on the Jetson build for Gen2. I've only personally built Gen1 on Jetson.

                      And I think @themarpe is actually adding Jetson (aarch64) series to our CI/CD next week so that these will be pre-built along with Ubuntu-AM64/Raspberry Pi OS/macOS/Windows. We had been meaning to do this earlier, but just a bit behind.

                      So potentially Martin may reply with build instructions and that it is now prebuilt. :-).

                      Best,
                      Brandon
