Software

Initial setup

• Ensure that you have the following items ready:
• QCS605 Open Development Kit
• USB type C cable
• AC adaptor (12V/2A, 6.4mm, 2mm) or PoE
• PC with the latest Qualcomm USB driver (QUD.WIN.1.1 Installer)

Powering on & turning off the device

Power on 

• Insert AC adaptor to DC jack, device will boot-up automatically
• Insert USB (Type-C) into device and connect with PC check by “adb devices” to confirm if device is working
• One adb device should be detected by PC

Power off 

• Remove AC adaptor from device directly to power off

Connecting to WIFI

• Ensure WLAN drivers are available
• Ensure wlan0 interface is up
• Ensure the configured network is available
  adb root
  adb remount
  adb shell
  iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
  (you can see the configured network details in the scan result.)
• Ensure the required network details are configured in /data/misc/WIFI/WifiConfigStore.xml
• If not available in /data/misc/WIFI/WifiConfigStore.xml, follow below instructions to add a network:
  -> Edit WifiConfigStore.xml
  adb root
  adb mount
  adb push WifiConfigStore.xml /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml
  adb reboot

Device functionality

LENS Control

• Input the following instructions 1 minute after boot-up
  adb shell
  adb root
  adb remount
  adb shell
  driver_len
  5 –> 4 –> 5 –> 4

Ethernet 

• Input the following instructions 1 minute after boot-up
• Connect the device to one router.
• For example, router’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1
• Power on device and wait for 1 minute
  adb shell “ifconfig | grep eth0” to confirm Ethernet is listed
  adb shell “ping 192.168.0.1” to check if device can get response from the
  router

Perform recording

Steps to test: 

• Set the device in root privileges
  adb root
  adb remount
• Using qmmf_recorder_test Menu Options
  adb shell
  qmmf_recorder_test
  1 : Connect
  3. Start Camera
  6. Create 4K AVC Session
  A. Start Session <recording in progress> To stop recording:
  B –> D –> 4 –> 2 –> X
• Once completed, output files are generated in /data/misc/qmmf folder

Troubleshooting

Problem & Debug instructions

Device restore & recover

Using fastboot to flash all images

1. Flat build SW packages are available for download. Please contact our support team for download SW packages
2. Load adb command “adb reboot bootloader”
3. Load fastboot command “fastboot devices” to confirm if the device is in fastboot mode
   • If it is in fastboot mode, run upgrade.bat to flash all images
   • If not, unplug/plug-in the USB cable several times until the device is in fastboot mode then run upgrade.bat to flash all images
   • If it still is not in fastboot mode, use QFIL to re-flash the images
4. Load fastboot command “fastboot reboot” to re-boot the device

Entering emergency download mode (EDL) by using a re-worked USB cable

1. Short the D+ (green cable) and GND (black cable) of the USB cable
2. Connect the device to a PC using this cable and then the device can enter 9008 mode
3. Swap in a normal USB cable then connect the device to a PC again to flash the images using the QFIL mode.
