Hi John,

I have verified that once I increase usbfs_memory_mb from the default of 16 up to 1000 then I can allocate a large number of buffers for USB cameras in ADSpinnaker. I have closed the ticket with FLIR. Sorry I forgot about that setting, even though I documented it in ADGenICam!

Hi John,

This problem is mentioned in the release notes for ADSpinnaker R3-5:

There is a known problem on CentOS 9. The maximum number of driver buffers that Spinnaker will allow is 3. This is not a problem on Ubuntu 22 where a value over 200 is allowed on my system. Even with the limit of 3 I am able to stream the full 163 frame/s on a GS3-U3-23S6M camera. FLIR is aware of the issue.

I reported the problem to FLIR in February, with the last update and demonstration of the problem in the attached message. I was promised that they would try to reproduce it, but I have not heard anything. I sent them a reminder today.

After configuring USB-FS memory I now have the camera running.

Aha! Thanks for finding that. Did you configure it as described here?

https://areadetector.github.io/areaDetector/ADGenICam/ADGenICam.html#linux-usb-and-gige-system-settings

Can you tell me the command you used so I can check and update that documentation? I want to make sure it works on CentOS 9 as well.

I probably neglected to do that, which is why I thought there was a bug.

Thanks,

Mark

Subject: ADSpinnaker, BlackfkyS 161S7M Not enough available memory to allocate buffers for streaming

I have built, base-7.0.6, areaDetectorR3-13 with ADSpinnaker master on Alma 9. I am using a FLIR BlackflyS 161S7M USB camera. This is large, 5320x3032 pixels.

The camera is detected but I get a "Not enough available memory to allocate buffers for streaming" error.

In ADSpinnakerConfig I have set numSPBuffer to minimum = 10 (?)

# ADSpinnakerConfig(const char *portName, const char *cameraId, int numSPBuffers,

# size_t maxMemory, int priority, int stackSize)

ADSpinnakerConfig("SP1", 22671882, 10, 0, 0,0)

The host computer has 16G, 13.7 G free,

Ideas?
