13.2.1.1 Restarting the camera
When installing new applications or libraries or updating pre-installed software it is usually not necessary to
reboot the camera. Exceptions to this rule include:
Software that runs as a service daemon in the background (like sshd) •
New Linux kernel images and kernel modules •
New FPGA firmware •
If it is not clear whether a restart is needed then it is always a good idea to restart the camera in a controlled
way to be sure. If the update or install procedure (see above) appears to have succeeded then please type these
commands to restart the camera:
sync
1.
reboot
2.
