Mech-Eye API: Camera Firmware Upgrade Tool

With this tool, you can upgrade the camera firmware on Ubuntu directly, simplifying the processing of camera firmware upgrade.

The camera firmware upgrade tool consists of two parts: the executable file firmware_update_tool and the firmware upgrade package mmind_eye_vx.x.x.zip.

Please follow these steps to upgrade the camera firmware:

  1. Download and install the latest version of Mech-Eye SDK.

  2. Execute the following command to give execute permission to firmware_update_tool.

    chmod 777 /opt/mech-mind/mech-eye-sdk/bin

  3. Execute the following command to upgrade the firmware. Make sure to replace x.x.x with the actual installed version of Mech-Eye SDK.

    sudo /opt/mech-mind/mech-eye-sdk/bin/firmware_update_tool /opt/mech-mind/mech-eye-sdk/resource/mmind_eye_vx.x.x.zip

    Hint

    • The two paths must be separated by a space. If not separated, the paths cannot be recognized, and the camera firmware upgrade tool cannot be executed.

    • Write the path of firmware_update_tool first and the path of mmind_eye_vx.x.x.zip second. If the order is incorrect, the camera firmware upgrade tool cannot be executed.

  4. Input the device index of the camera whose firmware needs to be upgraded according to the instruction, and press Enter to connect. If the following content is displayed, the firmware has been successfully upgraded.

    Firmware version: VX.X.X install completed.
