Appendix E Vision MINI Diagnostic Boot Mode Diagnostic Boot Mode The Vision MINI 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 Vision MINI. 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 Vision MINI. The [SAFE-KERNEL] prompt is displayed. 2. This method requires a serial connection between the host PC running a terminal emulator and Vision MINI 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”) E-2 Vision MINI Smart Camera Guide
