1 Prepare Micro SD Card
- Get a new Micro SD card (4GB is enough, bigger is fine as well, but the partitions are not yet automatically resized when a bigger SD card is detected)
- Acquire the latest automatically built firmware image from: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-beta-firmware/releases
- download, install and start Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/
- Flash the acquired image to a new Micro SD card with Etcher (we highly recommend not overwriting the Micro SD card you currently use in your AXIOM Beta)
- After flashing put the Micro SD card into the AXIOM Beta Microzed SD card slot and power up the Beta
2 Notes
This new firmware is still in development so expect issues and bugs.
This is the list of current issues/bugs: https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/axiom-beta-firmware/issues
If you find a new bug or have ideas for improvement please add it as github issue (please first check it has not been reported yet).
- default user is now “operator” with pw: “axiom”
- sudo is required to change system/camera settings (like running the various scripts)
- all camera related programs and scripts are now prefixed with
axiom-(for example to runset_gain.shuse runaxiom-set_gain.sh) kick_manual.shwas renamed tostart.shhalt_manual.shwas renamed tostop.sh- Image build log is located in each image under:
/var/build.log - devicetree source can be found at
/boot/devicetree.dts. To recompile it after any changes usedtc -O dtb -o /boot/devicetree.dtb /boot/devicetree.dts - to interrupt the autoboot from u-boot send
Ctrl-Cover serial quickly after a boot / reboot (try holding it down) axiom-file-check.shdoes an integrity check of /usr, /etc and /opt- binaries are linked in:
/usr/axiom/bin - scripts are linked in:
/usr/axiom/script /opt/axiom-firmwarecontains scripts and binaries- every beta currently has the same MAC address - a random one should be generated on the first boot, but this is not implemented yet.
