About i-pro camera SoC
The i-pro camera uses SoC provided by ambarella. Hereafter, ambarella's CV2X (generic term for chip types such as CV2, CV22, CV25, etc.) SoC will be abbreviated as ambaCV2X. There are SoCs such as CV52 with higher performance, in which case it is called ambaCV5X. Please see below for compatibility between the camera and the SoC used.

How to install AdamAppSDK
Installing AdamAppSDK
Unzip iPRO_CAMERA_SDK_Vx_xx.zip(get here) in any directory on your Development PC as indicated below. (iPRO_CAMERA_SDK file name’s Vx_xx is a value of the AdamAppSDK version).
| Code Block |
|---|
$ cd <The directory in which a developer is going to install AdamAppSDK> $ unzip iPRO_CAMERA_SDK_Vx_xx.zip $ ls –CF iPRO_CAMERA_SDK_Vx_xx/ |
| Note |
|---|
Be sure to copy the SDK zip file into Ubuntu before extracting the zip file. If you extract it on another OS such as Windows and then move it to Ubuntu, it will not work properly. |
The installation is completed.
| Note |
|---|
In the environment on VirtualBox, creation of symbolic links and compilation may fail on shared directories. Install it in a directory on Ubuntu. |
Getting the Development License
In principle, only encrypted AdamApp can be installed into i-PRO cameras sold in general. A development license is embedded in SDK so that AdamApp that has not been encrypted can be installed into i-PRO camera with specified MAC address. Please obtain a development license file from i-PRO Co., Ltd. then save the file as shown below.
<AdamAppSDK’s Installation Directry>/conf/development.key
Build the sample app
Build the sample application "additional_info_sample_app" and install it on the camera. If sample application works, the construction of the SDK development environment is completed.
Only the minimum necessary steps are described. Please see here for details on how to develop.
Generate and place source files
Source files of the AdamApp must be placed in the following directory.
...
| Info |
|---|
By copying the skeleton_sample_app directory and creating a new directory, the set of files necessary to create a new AdamApp will also be copied. It’s recommended that you copy and modify skeleton_sample_app directory to generate new application for ease. |
Build the sample app
setup_env.sh is provided as a setup file for the building environment. You can set up building
environment by reading setup_env.sh using ‘source’ command with parameter depending on execution
environment of AdamApp.
...
| Code Block |
|---|
$ cd <directory of installed AdamAppSDK> $ source setup_env.sh ipro-ambaCV2X ***** /usr/local/linaro-aarch64-2018.08-gcc8.2/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc found. ***** PF_BASEDIR = /home/user/adamappsdk BUILD_TARGET = ipro-ambaCV2X TARGET_FOR_ADAM = ambaCV2X TARGET_ARCH = aarch64-linux-gnu VERBOSE = 0 PATH = /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games |
Execute make (build and generate package of AdamApp)
You will need to execute make to build and generate an AdamApp package. AdamApp package will be build and generated automatically. When it is successful, the following three files are generated within skelton_sample_app directory.
AdditionalInfoSampleApp : The execution program of additional_info_sample_app
AdditionalInfoSampleApp.zip ：The package of additional_info_sample_app
AdditionalInfoSampleApp.ext ：Encoded file by BASE64
...
| Info |
|---|
The following error may occur during make. In that case, please set the permissions of adamapp_configurator as shown below and make again. |
Operation check of the sample application
Install the created "AdditionalInfoSampleApp.ext" to the camera and check the operation.
