Description

Stack 1/3 — host/container setup. Follow-ups: #1078 (CUDA IPC), then #998 (SIPL plugin).

Provision the SENSING SG8A carrier with two SHW5G cameras on Jetson AGX Orin (JetPack 7.2.1 / L4T R39.2.1). scripts/setup.sh fetches the vendor driver package; configs/shw5g.json supplies the two-camera platform configuration missing from that package.

scripts/run_docker_example.sh builds and launches the example container, discovers host device groups, and mounts vendor drivers and NITOs omitted by NVIDIA's runtime. It also exports run flags or JSON argument elements for other containers.

src/plugins/sensing/README.md provides an overview and source map. Operating instructions live in docs/source/device/camera/sensing.rst, without a second setup guide in Markdown.

📝 Walkthrough

Added a SENSING SG8A provisioning workflow for Jetson AGX Orin. Shared shell helpers manage configuration, downloads, prerequisite discovery, permissions, and prompts. Host setup installs and validates vendor drivers, overlays, permissions, performance settings, and optional camera streaming. Container setup validates runtime dependencies and retrieves SDK artifacts. A dispatcher selects host or container execution. A read-only verification script reports rig readiness. The README documents installation, container use, diagnostics, display setup, and smoke testing.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3e306

Provisioning can install incompatible SDK headers, prevent device-access repair on installed rigs, provide an unusable overlay command, and report healthy host rigs as unready. Resolve these setup-path defects before merging.

- Line 77: Update the Jetson setup command in the README to use
/opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py, matching the path invoked by setup_host.sh
and available in JetPack 7.2.

In `@src/plugins/sensing/setup_container.sh`:
- Line 187: Update the fallback archive URL filter in the setup logic around
find_sipl_api to match only Jetson_SIPL_API_R${rel}_aarch64.tbz2 for the
detected L4T release, rather than any SIPL_API archive; preserve the existing
unique sorting and final URL selection before fetch_cached and extraction.

In `@src/plugins/sensing/setup_host.sh`:
- Around line 61-62: Update setup_host.sh so PKG_DIR discovery and install.sh
validation run only when --install-drivers or --smoke-test is requested. Keep
artifact checks and --groups access repair independent of vendor package
availability, and rely on verify.sh to require the package for the vendor
smoke-test path.

In `@src/plugins/sensing/verify.sh`:
- Around line 109-112: Update the multimedia API and SIPL API checks around
find_mmapi and find_sipl_api so missing SDKs set FAIL only during container
verification; on host verification, report them informationally without marking
the host unready. Preserve the existing success messages and container failure
behavior.

LGTM, maybe have top level "what is this plugin and what does it do" readme in sensing folder? See agent review below.

🤖 Agent-generated (Claude Code · claude-sonnet-5-5)

Summary

Stack 1/3 of the SENSING GMSL rig support (host/container setup scripts + docs only — nothing builds or links yet). Overall solid: the shared shell helpers (scripts/common.sh) show real care around atomic cache downloads, pipefail-safe ldconfig checks, and sudo/NOPASSWD handling. Four issues below should be fixed before merge — one functional bug, one doc/CLI mismatch, one dead line, and a likely REUSE/SPDX gap — but nothing here needs architectural rework.

Legend: 🚫 Blocker · 💡 Suggestion · 🔍 Nit

Finding
🚫 src/plugins/sensing/docker/setup_container.sh:248 — "$SCRIPT_DIR/verify.sh" || true looks for verify.sh in docker/ (this script's own dir), but it actually lives in ../scripts/verify.sh (docker/ only contains Dockerfile.example, image_setup.sh, setup_container.sh). The || true silently swallows the failure, so the advertised final "Verifying" health-check step never actually runs.
🚫 src/plugins/sensing/.gitignore and src/plugins/sensing/configs/shw5g.json — the .gitignore has no SPDX header (sibling plugins' .gitignores, e.g. haptikos/manus/wuji_glove, all carry one), and the vendored shw5g.json has no .license sidecar despite the repo's own convention for JSON files (src/plugins/manus/CMakePresets.json.license). Likely fails the REUSE pre-commit hook.
💡 docs/source/device/sensing.rst:326-327 documents a --with-groups flag for run_docker_example.sh ("adds --group-add for an image built without image_setup.sh"), but the script implements no such flag — only --build-only, --no-build, --print-args, --json, --print-gids, --tag, -h/--help (run_docker_example.sh:43-55). A reader following the doc hits "unknown argument."
🔍 src/plugins/sensing/scripts/run_docker_example.sh:77 and :79 — mapfile -t GIDS < <(node_gids) runs twice back-to-back; harmless (idempotent) but reads like a copy-paste leftover, one line should go.

Minor, not blocking: src/plugins/sensing/configs/README.md:38 references a --platform-config flag not implemented anywhere in this stack — plausibly intentional (follow-up #1078/#998), but a one-line "not yet implemented, see #1078" note would avoid confusion.

Actionables (for bots — copy-paste-ready for AI)

Agent-generated suggestions, not human-vetted obligations. Skip anything wrong, already addressed, or not worth the churn.

  • src/plugins/sensing/docker/setup_container.sh:248 — fix the path to "$SCRIPT_DIR/../scripts/verify.sh" (matching how this same script sources ../scripts/common.sh at line 25), and consider not swallowing its exit code with || true if a failing final check should be visible.
  • src/plugins/sensing/.gitignore — add the repo's standard SPDX HTML/#-comment header, matching sibling plugin .gitignore files.
  • src/plugins/sensing/configs/shw5g.json — add a shw5g.json.license sidecar following the CMakePresets.json.license pattern used elsewhere in the repo.
  • docs/source/device/sensing.rst:326-327 — either implement --with-groups in run_docker_example.sh or remove/correct the doc reference to match the script's actual flags.
  • src/plugins/sensing/scripts/run_docker_example.sh:77,79 — delete the duplicate mapfile -t GIDS < <(node_gids) call.

Provisioning for the SENSING SG8A-AGON-G2Y-A1 carrier with two Astra SHW5G
modules on JetPack 7.2.1 / L4T R39.2.1. setup.sh dispatches to a host half
(fetch and install the vendor package, overlay, groups) and a container half
(device access, build SDKs); verify.sh reports on either side.

SENSING publishes driver packages as directories in a git repo with no releases,
so the host half takes a blobless, shallow, sparse clone of just this board's
tree -- 3.6 MB of a ~700 MB repo -- into a gitignored .cache/. That package is
what puts nvsipl_camera on PATH. It defines no SHW5G_2 platform config, only
mixed populations, so configs/shw5g.json vendors the one SENSING ships for a
2x SHW5G rig and setup drops it in.

Two container facts the scripts exist to make discoverable, since SIPL reports
both as a bare "SetPlatformConfig ... status: 10":

- Access needs groups, not root: every node SIPL opens is 0660 root:<group>, so
  --group-add AND the matching gids in the image are both required -- docker
  exec reads the container's own /etc/group and ignores HostConfig.GroupAdd.
- The NVIDIA container runtime mounts a fixed CSV file list, so files the vendor
  installer adds stay invisible until their directories are bind-mounted.

docker/ carries both halves, importable by another Dockerfile.
