RE: aravisGigE jumbo frame support

[<tom.cobb@diamond.ac.uk>]

Hi,

That is a bit odd, I would have expected setting the packet size with the generic parameter set to work. I'm not sure if it needs to be done before the arvStream is created though. I haven't tested the driver with jumbo frames, but I did leave some commented out code in there that sets it up.

in aravisGigE/aravisGigEApp/src/araviscamera.cpp:

    391     // Make standard size packets
    392     arv_gv_device_set_packet_size(ARV_GV_DEVICE(this->device), ARV_GV_DEVICE_GVSP_PACKET_SIZE_DEFAULT);
    393     // Uncomment this line to set jumbo packets
    394 //    arv_gv_device_set_packet_size(ARV_GV_DEVICE(this->device), 9000);

Comment out line 392 and uncomment line 394 and see if that helps...

Thanks,
Tom Cobb
