  • "RuntimeError: No available devices" when getting started with OAK-FFC

I'm trying to get started with OAK-FFC-6P, using Windows 10. I connected it to my host with an USB3 cable and additionally connected it to the electricity socket. Then, I connect an OAK-FFC-IMX477-M12 to the rgb connector.

When i runpython3 cam_test.py --cameras rgb,c i get the error "RuntimeError: No available devices". I can connect my OAK-D, with the same cable, so the connection is working. Any ideas what I'm missing? Thanks!

(If I understood correctly, LED2 should be on if the device is connected, which it’s not.)

    Hi AntoniaSchroff ,
    As this is an "early access" device, the software isn't there yet.
    Did you SSH onto the device? If so, which branch of the depthai-python are you using? I believe the rvc3_support or rvc3_develop (for nightly builds) is needed to be able to communicate with the VPU (and install correct wheels by calling python3 examples/install_requirements.py).
    If you haven't SSHed into the device, please see getting started docs here.
    Thanks, Erik

        I downloaded the branch rvc3_support for depthai as well as depthai_python. Ssh led me to root@keembay. In a new terminal, I executed python3 depthai_demo.py (depthai) and also tried python3 cam_test.py --cameras rgb,c (depthai-python). Still, the device won't be detected. Any ideas what i'm doing wroing?

            Hi AntoniaSchroff ,
            as mentioned, software support is limited, please follow the steps in documentation on how to get system running / get frames / run opencv/gstreamer/etc.
            Thanks, Erik

              @AntoniaSchroff I had the same problem. The issue for me was that my usb-ethernet wasn't configured for the network used by the static ip of the device. The document linked by erik has the static ip for the device (it has changed for newer models) you may have to reconfigure your network interface to suit.

              Once I did that I was able to detect the device.
