Can we use Basler cam on WSL platform?

[nicolexi]

Hi I tried tp attached the Basler camera to the WSL platform but it failed and saying: usbip: error: Attach Request for 1-23 failed - Device in error state

usbipd: error: Failed to attach device with busid '1-23'.

Never tried to get this running ... But as WSL is using USP/IP to transfer the data into the Linux domain ... This is might not be efficient enough to operate a high performance machine vision camera

[thiesmoeller]

From your list of devices ... There is no Basler camera visible.

yes, I have tested only a GigE camera, which is working.

[SMA2016a]

did you install pylon SDK on your Windows machine?

I can confirm that USB camera is working in WSL2 a2A1920-160ucBAS at full speed.

I run into the same problem, I have the SDK installed. @SMA2016a , what are the commands you use to attach the camera to WSL?

hello! trying to use a Basler a2A4504-18ucBAS USB3.0 using a script that runs on WSL in windows. I managed to attach the camera

PS C:\Windows\system32> usbipd wsl list
BUSID  VID:PID    DEVICE                                                        STATE
2-3    0403:6001  USB Serial Converter                                          Attached - WSL

2-17   2676:ba05  Basler ace 2 USB3 Vision Camera                               Not attached

In the Ubuntu terminal I see:

$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 2676:ba05 Basler AG Vision Camera
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

However, when I try this in the python code, I get an error:

camera = pylon.InstantCamera(pylon.TlFactory.GetInstance().CreateFirstDevice())

I installed pylon viewer in the Windows side, and the camera is working all fine. Maybe I need to install drivers on the WSL side?

thank you!

[SMA2016a]

yes, you need usb driver also in WSL

and also installed following packages.

apt install linux-tools-5.x.xx-xx-generic linux-tools-virtual hwdata usbutils

Contact your Basler support team, they have a full instruction for you.
