3.3.2.

 

Shutdown sequence 

Once shutdown or reboot is initiated: 

1.

 

Static YELLOW during shut down sequence. If it’s a reboot, the startup sequence 
immediately follows the shutdown sequence.  

2.

 

LED OFF.  Device is off  

3.3.3.

 

Suspend/resume sequence 

Once suspend is initiated: 

1.

 

Flashing YELLOW at 0.2 Hz. In suspend mode  

2.

 

Flashing YELLOW at 2 Hz. Resuming operation 

3.

 

Static GREEN. System is operational. 

3.3.4.

 

Error indication 

There are two different types of error indications available from the status LED: 

 

Flashing RED – An occasional three RED blinks during startup indicates an internal error 
that is recoverable, i.e. the system can continue its execution and normal operation. The 
error code can be retrieved trough the CCAux API, since the status LED will follow its 
normal status indication scheme. 

 

Flashing BLUE – The device becomes non-operational, and seems to be dead, despite 
powered on. A number of BLUE LED blinks should be displayed. Record the number of 
blinks, as this can be useful in an eventual support contact. 

Reason for BLUE LED blinking could be voltage levels out of range, temperature related problems 
or internal hardware errors. First steps should be to let the device cool off, and verify it has correct 
power supply attached, before starting the device again.  

3.4.

 

Default start-up applications 

On the CCpilot versions, a default graphical application is started when the device is started. This 
application supports the user with a GUI for simple tasks and information until the startup 
application can be replaced with the proper user defined application. The replacement of this 
application is described in section 7.6. 

It’s also possible to connect to the device via a VNC Viewer application by default, it will however 
require a known IP address of the device. By default, it’s only the CCSettings application that’s 
accessible via the VNC protocol, but it can be replaced with any desired Qt application. Further 
information about that is found in section 7.11.
