The default image is set up to run the ADAS example application and demonstrates how
a system boots to immediately show a video stream from a single camera and sensor data.
These are referred to as file cameras and file data, respectively.
Before you boot the reference image on the Beebox, you must configure it from the BIOS
and connect the required hardware. For information about setting up the Beebox, see
Setting up the Beebox to use the reference image in this chapter. After
you set up the Beebox, see Booting the reference image to
understand how to boot the Beebox.
If you want to connect physical cameras or sensors to the Beebox, you must change the
reference image configuration settings. For more information, see Connect cameras and sensors and Configure sensors and cameras on the reference image in this chapter.
Setting up the Beebox to use the reference image
Before you use the Beebox to boot the reference image,
you must configure it to boot from a USB storage media (USB stick) using
the following steps:
- If you haven't done so already, connect your Beebox to:
- a Lilliput 10" display, using the HDMI port on the Beebox that is
closest to the USB ports on the back. (If you use the other port, you
don't see the demo after you boot.)
- a USB keyboard to the USB port on the Beebox (you'll require this to
give you console-like access), which is necessary the first time you
boot the Beebox
- the power supply that came from the hardware vendor
Press the power button to start the Beebox. When it starts to boot, press the
F2 key to enter the BIOS setup.
Use the arrow keys on your
keyboard to navigate the menus for the remaining steps.
- To disable the third-party USB 3.1 controller:
- navigate to Advanced
- select the USB Configuration folder and press
Enter
- navigate to Disable Third Party USB 3.1
Controller, press Enter, select
Disabled, press the
Enter key, and then press the
Escape key.
- Disable booting the Beebox from the LAN using these steps:
- navigate to the Boot settings.
- select the Board From Onboard LAN
option
- press the Enter key, select
Disabled, and then press the
Enter key.
After you disable this option, the box boots from the connected USB
flash drive.
- Navigate to Exit, press the
Enter key, and when prompted, select
Yes to save your configuration changes and exit.
Booting the reference image
After you have configured the Beebox to boot from the USB storage, you can boot the board with
the image.
There are two IFS images on the USB image. You can select one of these IFS
images to boot:
If you let the system boot automatically, it defaults to using the
qnx-ifs and runs the ADAS example application. The demo is
non-interactive because it starts in the background. If you want to interact with
the demo, run different applications, or change the configuration, see the
Use the Reference Image chapter.
If you need to determine the IP address of the Beebox because you want to
connect to it, see Determine the IP Address in
this chapter.
