LiDAR errors on Formula CarMaker

Hi Vishwam,

I ended up having another issue related to the “GPU sensor not being ready in time” after running updates on my system. If this is similar to what you have here are my steps on how I fixed it (and perhaps Bogomil can confirm):

Run the Product Example for the LidarRSI_Countryside

If you get the issue for GPU sensor not being ready, check

  1. Ensure X11 rather than Wayland

  2. Using NVIDIA drivers
    I have tested both Nvidia 565 and 570 and had working versions

  3. Using CUDA toolkit
    I have CUDA 12.1 set for the CUDA toolkit, but my NVIDIA driver was using 12.8

  4. Ensure that your system default is set as Nvidia:
    Run:

prime-select query

If it returns “on-demand”, explicitly tell Linux to use NVIDIA:

sudo prime-select nvidia
sudo reboot

On the restart if you check again, it should say nvidia on the query. Running the LidarRSI_Countryside demo afterwards worked for me

Hope this helps,
Isaac
