Diagnostic Boot Mode
The VS-05 supports a special boot mode used for diagnostics and
recovery. There are two ways in which the camera can be put into this mode:
1.
This method requires an Ethernet connection between the host PC
and VS-05. Power-on the unit and hold down the AutoVision button
until the green flash illuminates once. The unit is now configured for
IP address 192.168.188.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Establish a telnet connection between the host PC and VS-05. The
[SAFE-KERNEL] prompt is displayed.
2.
This method requires a serial connection between the host PC
running a terminal emulator and VS-05 camera. Power-on the unit
and hold down the Tab key for several seconds. The unit will boot to a
[SAFE-KERNEL] prompt with communication settings of 115200, N,
8, 1 (baud, parity, data bits, stop bits).
Once the unit is booted, there are many possible actions the user can
take. However, the most useful actions are listed below.
In rare situations, the boot job executed at camera startup can cause
unexpected behavior. If this is the suspected case, it is possible to disable
loading and running of the boot job at startup using the following
command.
[SAFE-KERNEL]
BP_UpdateStartupOptions(0, 0)
Note that the loading and running of the boot job is automatically re-
enabled the next time a job is saved to camera flash from AutoVision or
FrontRunner.
At boot time, the system configures itself using a set of information known
as boot parameters. To obtain a list of the current configuration’s boot
parameters, issue the following command.
[SAFE-KERNEL]
BP_Dump()
Should your device need to be configured with different IP information,
follow the example below and substitute the appropriate settings for IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address, respectively.
[SAFE-KERNEL]
BP_UpdateIP(“192.168.188.10”, “255.255.255.0”,
“192.168.188.1”)
