BIOS set up

[idata]

Hi, I am new to this chat,

So i just got the intel aero and have been working on setting up the board.

So far, I have botted the board with a usb image and are stuck on updating the bios step.

These are the steps on the git hub get started page,

BIOS firmware updates for the Intel Aero Compute Board, called "capsules" are distributed as "rpm" packages. The procedure to update the BIOS is given below.

Prerequisites:

The Intel Aero Compute Board should already have a firmware flashed in itOS is provisioned and boots to shell

Flash Capsule:

Before you proceed, ensure md5sum of downloaded capsule is same as listed on https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26335/Intel-Aero-Platform-for-UAV-installation-files Download Center. If md5sum differs, then DO NOT proceed to next step, as it may brick your board. Try downloading the capsule again or contact us to /community/tech/intel-aero get help style="margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px"Install rpm:root@intel-aero:~# mkdir temproot@intel-aero:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 ~/temproot@intel-aero:~# rpm -ivh

Where I am confused and can't get through is, what do i have to replace with? Also, do i have to but the capsule rpm. file that I downloaded from the intel download center on the same usb that I flashed the image to the emmc? Also Whenever I put the code,

root@intel-aero:~# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 ~/temp

I get an error message saying

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error, In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so.

Just to be clear, I do not really have a background in coding or computers, I just saw the aero board as something really cool to use in my drone with the r200 camera so if you could please explain ever step very simply, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello kal1022,

Thanks for reaching out!What you should use to replace in the line rpm -ivh is the name of the Capsule/BIOS file. In this case the command should look like the following:rpm -ivh capsule-01.00.11-r0.core2_64.rpmThis might be due to your flash device not having a vfat partition. If that is the case, you'll either have to repartition your flash drive or pass the file the Capsule/BIOS file through another mean like sftp.I hope this information is of help.-Peter.

Thank you.

I just tried to follow your directions,

the usb disk mounted however when i put the command

rpm -ivh capsule-01.00.09-r0.core2_64.rpm ,

i get an error message saying no such file or directory. I am not to sure why this is. Would you have any idea?

[idata]

Actually I just tried to enter this command instead,

rpm -ivh temp/capsule-01.00.09-r0.core2_64.rpm

and the command works, i get a message saying preparing.. capsule like it says on the get started guide, however i then get an error message saying, unpacking of achieve failed on file /boot/BIOSUPDATE.fv;58309db3: clio read failed - Bad file descriptor.

Any ideas whats happening?

[idata]

It worked, all I had to do was reload the file on my usb. Now i am trying to to use the R200 camera accessory but when I run the command,

/usr/share/librealsense/examples/cpp-capture

I get an error message saying

RealSense error calling rs_create_contex(api_version:10904):

uvcvideo kernel module is not loaded,

is this talking about the kernel file on the intel download center, because I haven't seen anything to try and install that file on the wiki page.

Hi kal1022,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to update the BIOS! Regarding the issue when trying to run RealSense's examples, I'm not sure what might be happening. Let me try to investigate about this and if I'm able to find something useful I will make sure to post it here. -Peter.

Hi kal1022,

We need to ask you some information, please answer the following questions:Could you please confirm that you are using the latest Aero image (01.00.03)?What is the output of "ls /dev/video*"?What is the output of "dmesg | grep uvc"?What is the output of "cat /etc/version"?We will be waiting for your response.-Peter.

[JDill1]

I'm getting the exact same error "uvcvideo kernel module is not loaded".

This is the aero board, vision kit, and enclosure

ls /dev/video* returns video0 through video10

cat /etc/version returns 20161029003159

after running modprobe uvcvideo

dmesg | grep uvc returns "112.197835 usbcore registered new interface driver uvcvideo

[JDill1]

Also, after I run

modprobe uvcvideo

and run the example, I get

"No device detected. Is it plugged in?" (it is)

Hi PureRockets,

Thank you for letting me know. Could you please confirm that you are on the same conditions as kal1022? (Camera, BIOS version, etc.)kal1022,Do you have the same output as PureRockets?Please let me know.-Peter.

[JDill1]

Yes, I just received this, and updated everything to the latest image and Bios without issue. I actually have 2 identical vision kits, and none of the cameras are recognized. I believe the R200 should show as video13. I only have video0 through video10. Even when I physically unplug the R200, I still only see video0 through video10.

[idata]

I understand, please let me check what might be happening.

-Peter.

Hey kal1022,

I just send you a private message.

Hi PureRockets, Kal1022,

Can you please confirm you have the latest BIOS installed? You can check the Bios version by doing the following:

1. Restart Board and press "Esc" when the boot splash image is displayed.
2. Select "Setup Utility"
3. What is the InsydeH20 Version?

The InsydeH20 Version should be Aero-0.1.00.11 which is the latest.

I can see that you guys get the following when running cat /etc/version, is that correct?

• 20161029003159

Also, it is not very clear to me how you are connecting the R200.

The http://click.intel.com/intel-aero-platform-for-uavs-vision-accessory-kit.html Intel Aero Vision Accessory Kit includes an R200 that connects to the interface labeled (5) according to the https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/25/d5/Intel-Aero-Compute-Board-Getting-Starte... Getting Started Document. Is this the setup that you have?

The output of the dmesg | grep uvc should be:

root@intel-aero:/# dmesg | grep uvc

[ 7.664728] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.10 device Intel RealSense 3D Camera R200 (8086:0a80)

[ 7.668099] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.10 device Intel RealSense 3D Camera R200 (8086:0a80)

Yes, I have Aero-0.1.00.11. I get no output from dmesg | grep uvc. When you do "ls /dev/video*" what do you see? I only get video0 through video10. I believe the R200 is supposed to show as video13?

I connected the R200 per the instructions as you mentioned (how could it be connected any way else :-). Keep in mind, the R200 cable can be inserted/connected either side up, unlike the other two camera cables. I have a feeling I connected it incorrectly (if it makes a difference), and fried this board. Indeed, the first time I powered it up, it smoked badly and I quickly unplugged it. It apparently no longer recognizes the R200 camera. If that is the case, this could be a fire hazard also.

[JDill1]

Here is a video that shows that the R200 cable can connect either side up https://youtu.be/0QWeGo1KX4s Intel Aero Board and RealSense Camera - YouTube

Hi PureRockets,

Thank you for sharing the video, it is very helpful.Unfortunately, this issue means that either the board or the camera is damaged. In this case, my best suggestion is that you contact click.intel.com for a replacement. Also, we have uploaded a document that describes the correct connection of the camera cable to Aero. It can be found in https://communities.intel.com/thread/109004 https://communities.intel.com/thread/109004.kal1022, do you have any updates? Are you now able to use your board?Let me know.-Peter.
