OAK-D lite keeps on crashing on RPi 4

tboive

After a fresh install on RPi 4 the demo program keeps on crashing with the below error message.

USB Connection speed: UsbSpeed.SUPER

[1844301061F5620E00] [1.1.2] [37.796] [system] [critical] Fatal error. Please report to developers. Log: 'Fatal error on MSS CPU: trap: 00, address: 00000000' '0'

I wonder if you have any advice?

Hi @tboive
Try updating the depthai version to the latest (2.24.0.0). Maybe try running some of the examples from depthai-python repo to see if they work as expected.

Thanks,

I tried to update to version 2.24.0.0 and run the command depthai_demo.py -gt cv as per instructions on https://github.com/luxonis/depthai?tab=readme-ov-file

It is running for about 15 seconds and then is crashes, see error below.

Hi @tboive
I'm thinking it could be a power issue. Could you try and run the examples from luxonis/depthai-pythontree/main/examples? Something like rgb_preview would not be as stressful to the device as the depthai demo. Also could you provide additional power to the rpi to see if it makes a difference?

Thanks,
Jaka

Hi Jaka,

Thank you for helping. I am running separate power supplies for the RPi and OAK. The RPi is running with it's original PS. I start to think the camera is defective. I can feel it is getting warmer quite quickly and then it is crashing in 15/20 seconds.

The rgb_preview is working, but I need the object detection function (that's why I bought the OAK).

I wonder if you have any further advice?

I have two threads running on this issue, one for RPi image you provided and one for using the installation instructions.

Probably is the case, just wanted to make sure. Some Oak-D-Lite units have a defect where they will overheat and crash when booted. It's a HW issue.
Please write to support@luxonis.com so we can replace the device.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
