RE: ADProsilica crashing on RHEL7 3.10.0-1127

[Mark Rivers via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Mike,

 

Ø  Not sure if I want to go for ADVimba just yet...we have some really old cameras and I'm worried that they might not be compatible.

 

I don’t think that will be a problem.  I also have a number of very old Prosilica cameras.  I installed the latest firmware on them, and they are all working fine with ADVimba.

 

The ADGenICam/GenICamApp/Db directory has a list of all of the AVT cameras that I or someone in the collaboration are using successfully:

Yep, we just started seeing that too.  

For us it only happens with a single camera (so far), and a power cycle of the camera seems to fix it.  If I don't power cycle the camera, the IOC will continually crash with that same stack trace.

We're running the same kernel as you, but I think the problem appeared a few kernels ago for us, possibly with 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64.

We're using ADProsilica 2-2, ADCore 3-1, asyn 4-31.  I have plans to upgrade to more recent versions of these modules over the next few weeks.  Not sure if I want to go for ADVimba just yet...we have some really old cameras and I'm worried that they might not be compatible.

Hi,

 

We’ve been using ADProsilica to control our AVT Manta cameras for many years. This uses the legacy PvApi library from AVT. It seems to be failing under our latest RHEL7 update (3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64).

 

I’ve pasted the stack trace below. The problem seems to be deep inside libPvAPI.a, which is linked into libprosilica.so. libPvAPI.a was provided by AVT, but the last build was in 2015.

 

Anyone else seen this issue?

 

I know there is a newer areaDetector driver for AVT cameras, so it may be the case that we just have to switch to using that.

 

Cheers,

Matt
