Device Setup

Network Setup

  1. Using a text editor, create a wpa_supplicant.conf file and enter the following information:
    1. ssid – Name of the Wi-Fi network
    2. psk – Wi-Fi password
    network={
      ssid="<your Wi-Fi network>"
      proto=WPA2
      key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
      pairwise=TKIP CCMP
      group=TKIP CCMP
      psk="<your Wi-Fi password>"
    }
  2. Push the file into the development kit.
    c:\adb shell mount -o remount,rw /
    c:\adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/
    c:\adb shell sync
  3. Reboot the device to redo the WiFi provisioning.
    c:\>adb reboot && adb wait-for-device && adb shell
  4. After a few moments, check if wlan0 is up.
    c:\adb shell
    #ifconfig

    ...

If the device has not connected to the network and assigned an IP address, please use the following command to manually connect.

# wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf -dddd &

The network should now be available. You should be able to ping the internet.

# ping www.qualcomm.com

Check HDMI

Connect your HDMI monitor to the HDMI port and the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports. Please follow the steps below after every reboot to enable HDMI display.

c:\>adb shell
sh-4.4# mkdir -p /usr/bin/weston_socket
sh-4.4# export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/usr/bin/weston_socket
sh-4.4# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/
sh-4.4# weston --tty=1 --connector=29 --idle-time=0

At this point your weston display is up. You can press the top left corner and open a terminal window.

Run Camera capture via camx-hal3

You can use the camx-hal3-test or the gstreamer applications to try it out. You can run the application from the terminal or you can use adb. Please note id=0 points to the main camera and id=1 points to tracking camera.

c:\>adb shell
sh-4.4# camx-hal3-test
>>A:id=0,psize=1920x1080,pformat=yuv420,ssize=1920x1080,sformat=jpeg,zsl=1
>>P:1
>>s:1
>>Q

The commands and response from the device is as seen below.

c:\>adb shell
sh-4.4# camx-hal3-test
