Finish Camera Driver Installation.
You should reboot the device to enable AFE-R750 cameras.
Do you want to reboot now?[Y/n] Y
Rebooting...
You should reboot the device after installation.
Bring up Camera
TechNexion VizionViewer
Gstreamer
If you successfully initialize the camera, you can follow the steps to open the camera.

Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the CPU:
$ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! xvimagesink sync=false -
Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the GPU:
$ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 nvv4l2camerasrc device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! \
nvvidconv ! nv3dsink sync=false
Troubleshooting
Cannot find cameras
If you cannot bring up the cameras, you can check if the video device does exist.
$ ls /dev/video* # List all video devices
/dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video2 /dev/video3
If you cannot see the devices, you should check if the drivers have been probed.
Occur Error: Could not get EGL display connection
If you encounter the error nvbufsurftransform: Could not get EGL display connection by running the Gstreamer command, you can modify the parameter DISPLAY by the command:
# Check and Set environment parameter for 'DISPLAY'
$ export DISPLAY=$(w| tr -s ' '| cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep :)
# Run Gstreamer pipeline
$ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! xvimagesink sync=false
no element "nvv4l2camerasrc"
If you encounter the following error:
WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "nvv4l2camerasrc"
This means your system is missing some NVIDIA GPU-related plug-in tools. You have to install some NVIDIA plug-in tools for Gstreamer.
