RDK-C Build Instruction for RPI-0

Image Flash Procedure

Code Block
languagebash
titleImage Flash step
$ sudo dd if="Image Name" of="Device Name" bs=4M

Example:
sudo dd if=rdk-generic-camera-image_default_20200130060729.rootfs.rpi-sdimg of=/dev/sdb bs=4M


Normal Thumbnail Validation Procedure

STEP 1:

Add require SSID and PSK in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file in below format

network={

ssid="username"

psk="password"

}

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1

network={
ssid="RDK"
psk="Comcast1"
}


STEP 2:

Reboot the Target

After Reboot don't do step 1 and 2.

Note : Step 1 & 2 is only applicable for fresh target boot-up with new image.


STEP 3:

WiFi connection is needed to copy captured JPEG Image from /tmp directory into your PC.

Check WiFi connection by using below command.

ifconfig

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output

STEP 4:

check loaded module by using below command

lsmod

Code Block
languagebash

STEP 5:

check camera device there or not by using below command

ls /dev/video0

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:~# ls /dev/video0 
/dev/video0


STEP 6:

check rdkcmediaserver( RMS ) binary is running or not.if it is running then we need to stop RMS binary running because we can't able to validate Normal Thumbnail while running RMS application.

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output : RMS application running status
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:~# ps -Af | grep rdkcmediaserver
root       659     1 22 10:24 ?        00:00:43 ./rdkcmediaserver ../config/config.lua
root      4911   381  0 10:28 ttyS0    00:00:00 grep rdkcmediaserver


if we get above status then need to do below step.

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output : Stop RMS application
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:~# systemctl stop rms-launcher


STEP 7:

Run normal_thumbnail binary by using below command

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:~# normal_thumbnail


STEP 8:

Get JPEG image from local /tmp directory.

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:~# cd /tmp/
root@raspberrypi0-rdk-camera:/tmp# ls thumbnail2020-06-28\:10\:33\:57..jpeg 
thumbnail2020-06-28:10:33:57..jpeg


STEP 9:

Copy JPEG image from your RPI /tmp directory into your local PC.

Code Block
languagebash
titleConsole output
xxxxxx@yyyyy-Lenovo-B480:~/THUMBNAIL$ scp root@RPI_DEVICE_WIFI_IP:/tmp/thumbnail* .

Example:
xxxxxx@yyyyy-Lenovo-B480:~/THUMBNAIL$ scp root@192.168.43.246:/tmp/thumbnail* .
thumbnail2020-06-28:10:33:57..jpeg                                                                           100%   16KB  16.4KB/s   00:00    
xxxxxx@yyyyy-Lenovo-B480:~/THUMBNAIL$ 


Limitations

Can't able to validate RMS( RDK Media Streamer ) and CVR( Continuous Video Recoding ) features while validating Normal Thumbnail feature.

Table of Contents

Introduction

Normal Thumbnail will get YUV data from RPI-0 camera device and it will convert YUV buffer into JPEG image based on openCV and then stored generated JPEG image in local /tmp directory . This page dedicated to bringing up and validation of Normal Thumbnail functionality in R-Pi Zero.
