Hi,

 

We are a company based in Berlin, Germany and bought recently the RB5 development kit. We were wondering if you could point us to the documentation/API for accessing the 4k camera installed there. It would be great if you have examples in C++/OpenCV for us. Another interesting aspect would be to get access to the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors.

 

We do have access to CreatePoint, but could not find any materials specific to RB5.

 

Looking forward to hear back from you. Thanks!

 

Best regards

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can find documentation for RB5 here:
Software Reference Manual: https://developer.qualcomm.com/qualcomm-robotics-rb5-kit/software-reference-manual

The Platform provides GStreamer plugins to call the underlying subsystems (camera, Display, DSP, ISP, AI, Sensors DSP etc)
More examples can be found here:
Camera and Video: https://developer.qualcomm.com/qualcomm-robotics-rb5-kit/software-reference-manual/camera-and-video
Machine Learning: https://developer.qualcomm.com/qualcomm-robotics-rb5-kit/software-reference-manual/machine-learning

Since you have access to CreatePoint, you can find more detailed documentation there. Look for the "QRB5165 IOT Ubuntu Robotics" Product kit.

We are working to publish sample applications on GitHub to get you started with your projects. 
I will post the links to the repository once it is online.

Hope this helps to get you started.
