**Board** : AMB82-Mini, stock kit (Realtek RTL8735BDM), Arduino board package `realtek:AmebaPro2` version `4.1.1-build20260417`. **Camera module** : the board’s own stock JXF37 module (confirmed against the official product listing). Physical module printed `PA-FP0171-A-01 XCF`. Camera Options `JXF37`, FCS Mode `Disable` — both defaults, confirmed via `arduino-cli board details`. **Symptom** : RTSP server works completely normally (connects, `DESCRIBE`/`PLAY` succeed) but zero video frames ever flow. Boot log: ```auto [video_pre_init_procedure] START hal_voe_send2voe too long 51439 cmd 0x00000206 p1 0x00000000 p2 0x00000000 VOE command 0x206 fail ret 0xff ``` And at boot-loader stage, before any sketch code runs: ```auto FCS KM_status 0x00002081 err 0x0000200a It don't do the sensor initial process RAM TM_STATUS 0x00bf1208 err 0x00001208 ``` **Troubleshooting done** — seven independent full-boot-log captures, all byte-for-byte identical: - Ribbon cable reseated 3× (one with close visual inspection under bright light) — no change; timing stayed within ~170us across attempts (51439, 51448, 51433, 51278us), arguing against an intermittent connector fault. - USB cable **and** port swapped (COM14→COM13 confirmed) — ruling out marginal power delivery. - Confirmed physical module matches the documented stock JXF37 sensor and Camera Options/FCS Mode are already correct — not a sensor-selection mismatch (unlike some similar reports on this forum). Noted one nuance: a separate thread quotes Realtek staff saying the board actually ships with **JXF37P** and needs manual `sensor.h` editing — but that thread’s own resolution is unconfirmed, and our installed SDK has no `SENSOR_F37P` constant to select in the first place. - **A second, completely different physical board** (different MAC/sensor unit) — identical failure (`51444`). - **Realtek’s own unmodified `StreamRTSP/VideoOnly.ino` example** (not our code) — identical failure (`51160`). - **The last stable `4.1.0-build20260213` release** (not just the `4.1.1` pre-release/QC build we started on) — identical failure (`51165`), confirmed genuinely rebuilt via the changed boot-loader timestamp and VOE library version string. All seven captures: `cmd 0x00000206` fails within ~290 microseconds of each other (51439, 51448, 51433, 51278, 51444, 51160, 51165), and the boot-loader FCS status codes are identical every time. **Question** : given this reproduces across 2 boards and 2 SDK versions including Realtek’s own unmodified example, is this a known issue, and does “It don’t do the sensor initial process” indicate something about how these units’ factory calibration data was provisioned? Happy to provide full logs or run any other diagnostic. ---

Hi @nkuecuek , Could you help to double check with the latest version for early release? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/ameba/original/2X/c/c309dfcb897bfd11417c143f80badc07f858e278.png) If possible could you also take a photo of camera and connection of the cable? I am wondering if it is an HW failure. I have checked with same camera it is worked with video only demo. BR ---

I don’t think it is a HW issue since we have 5 pieces of your module. And I don’t believe all of them are broken.
