arv-tool not finding USB-3 camera on Centos7

[MarkRivers]

I have a Point Grey Grasshopper3 USB-3 camera connected to my Centos7 system. arv-tool-0.6 (aravis 0.6.3) is not finding the camera.

This is the output of lsusb:

[epics@TahoeC7 ~]$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0bda:0328 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1e10:3300 Point Grey Research, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0424:5537 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:0411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 413c:2113 Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 413c:301a Dell Computer Corp.
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04d8:0b29 Microchip Technology, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:2137 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

So the camera is on bus 002 device 006.

This shows the permissions on that device.

[epics@TahoeC7 ~]$ ls -l /dev/bus/usb/002
total 0

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 189, 133 Jun 17 18:30 006

It has rw for everyone, which is how the udev aravis.rules configures it.

The problem is that arv-tool-0.6 does not find the camera:

[epics@TahoeC7 ~]$ arv-tool-0.6

Point Grey Research-Blackfly BFLY-PGE-20E4C-13481965 (164.54.160.114)

That Point Grey camera that it does find is a GigE Blackfly, it is not the USB Grasshopper3.

Is there something I need to do to get it to find the camera?

This is a triple-boot system: Ubuntu 18, Centos 7, Windows 10. The Grasshopper3 is working fine with aravis on Ubuntu 18, but it is not working on Centos 7.

I tried another Point Grey USB-3 camera in this same Centos7 system. This is a BlackflyS 16S2M.

It works fine with aravis on another Centos7 system.

On this Centos7 system both cameras show up in lsusb and in /dev/bus/usb, but are not found by arv-tool.

Hi Mark,

Did you check USB support is compiled on the system not finding you camera ?

The output of arv-tool-0.6 -d all should display USB related informations in its first line, like:

Found 1 USB3Vision device (among 18 USB devices)
[GvDiscoverSocket::new] Add interface 127.0.0.1
[GvDiscoverSocket::new] Add interface 192.168.0.4
...

I'm closing this issue for now. Please reopen if you have the requested informations.

Cheers.
