Supported CPUs

[godara__jitender]

Hey,

I just ordered my F200 RealSense SDK. Unfortunately after placing my order I noticed that in the R200 details page it says "Supported: Intel 4. Generation CPUs". I guess that applies to both F200 and R200, right?

However I run an AMD based system (Phenom II X4) which operates flawless with Windows 10 Pro.

Will I by unable to develop or even use the F200 and the SDK with my AMD based system? Or is it just an "unsupported" configuration?

Regards,
George

It's incompatible. You will issue usb trouble. I already tried with your same cpu and also with Intel 3rd Gen cpu unsuccessfully.

Hello everyone,

I received it today -- and it works perfectly!

First it got stuck sometimes with the Win10 onboard drivers for the ASMedia USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller. But when I switched to ASMedia XHCI 1.0 Controller 1.16.24.0 everything was absolutely fine: Standard CAMERA App, Skype, Windows Hello.

@stefano: Try those drivers and I think you might be successful, too.

Best,
Georg

Georg,

What about the Depth Driver of Cam?

Does it work? 

Have you got an AMD CPU?

Please let me know, because, with all AMD CPU I've got, the standard driver and virtual driver work without issues.

But when I've tried to ename Depth Drivers, then the system has problem like USB issues.

Hello,
I hope it is ok to add onto this post, since my question is mostly the same but concerns an older Intel processor instead.
I Currently have an Intel i7 990x, which I know is an older model, but still performs excellent for everything I throw at it.
Would the Realsense absolutely not work with that either? or just limited?

Many thanks in advance.
Regards, Eelco

I was able to get raw streams fine with a very limited Asus T100, which has an Intel Atom CPU, so you will probably be able to get that that as well, and maybe some basic methods of the SDK.

Some other areas of the SDK require special CPU instructions which may not be available in your CPU.

For the benefit of all those who want to understand what the CPU with which it works perfectly RealSense say exclusively by the fourth generation of Intel Core CPU and later. All others can, at best situation, ensure only partly functional. I tried the kits with very many and different CPUs, both Intel and AMD, and the most critical one is the absence of operation of the driver detects the depth, fundamental key to the proper functioning of the kit, otherwise the CAM F200 and R200 risk to be used the same way as other commercial products.

Are you sure about that stefano?, I'm pretty sure you can get the raw data with almost any CPU out there... the problems appear with specific methods of the SDK.

As long as you have a USB3.0 connection, you should be able to get depth, color, and infrared streams. I even used a 32bit OS.

@Stefano:  I'm quite confident the depth camera works. There are no errors in the device manager (Depth / RGB / Virtual) and Windows Hello works fine. As far as I know Windows Hello would not work if the cam wouldn't supply depth information.

However I have not tested everything, especially not yet the SDK and the IDE functionalities. But my feeling is that the main issue is the USB 3.0 drivers. I had issues with USB 3.0 on Win 8.1 and after I upgraded to Windows 10 I got those standard Windows rivers reinstalled without noticing it first.

Regarding HW config: I got an AMD Phenom II X4 950 on an ASRock 970 Extreme4, AMD Sockel AM3+, ATX, 4 x DDR3 DIMM, 5 x SATA3, USB 3.0. As I mentioned in my earlier post, the Windows 10 onboard drivers do *not* work flawless with the ASRock board. So I switched to the ASMedia drivers 1.16.24.0.

Just give it a try and let us know if that helped in any way.

George

So, it will be great if the camera can work, at least partially, with Qualcomm in smartphone having USB3.0, like Zuk Z1 with type C.  I'm waiting the Android SDK and can't wait to try. 

Thanks
