Iot edge module : Backoff state

Question

I have a simulatedcamera module which is an image classifier that is showing as a backoff state, rest of the modules are in running state

Target Device: Jetson Nano
Architecture : aarch64 (arm64v8)

The code can be found at https://github.com/timaddg/Jetsonnano_custom

The dockerfile.arm64v8 and dockerfile.arm64v8.debug is the one which is used here and the same changes can be seen in module.json of testclassifier and simulatedcamera , you can ignore the simulatedCamera1 module

The deployement.template.json is also according to the arm64v8 architecture

Let me know where I have gone wrong

Hello @Amit V ,

it seems your module is not behaving well on the edge.

First, check if the edge agent is capable to load and run the module

iotedge logs -f edgeAgent

If there are issues loading the module, you have to dig into the logging text of the EdgeAgent to find the reason.

If the edge agent is able to load the module, can you check the module log on the device?

iotedge logs -f simulatedcamera

Last but not least, does this module require some docker settings? Do you have to apply Container Create options?

docker run -p 127.0.0.1:80:80 -d <your image name>

Do you have to open port 80?
