Software

Initial setup

Ensure that you have the following items ready:
QCS605 Open Development Kit
USB type C cable
AC adaptor (12V/2A, 6.4mm, 2mm) or PoE
PC with the latest Qualcomm USB driver (QUD.WIN.1.1 Installer)

Powering on & turning off the device

Power on

Insert AC adaptor to DC jack, device will boot-up automatically
Insert USB (Type-C) into device and connect with PC check by “adb devices” to confirm if device is working
One adb device should be detected by PC

Power off

Remove AC adaptor from device directly to power off

Connecting to WIFI

Ensure WLAN drivers are available
Ensure wlan0 interface is up
Ensure the configured network is available
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
iw dev wlan0 scan | grep SSID
(you can see the configured network details in the scan result.)
Ensure the required network details are configured in /data/misc/WIFI/WifiConfigStore.xml
If not available in /data/misc/WIFI/WifiConfigStore.xml, follow below instructions to add a network:
-> Edit WifiConfigStore.xml
adb root
adb mount
adb push WifiConfigStore.xml /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml
adb reboot

Device functionality

LENS Control

Input the following instructions 1 minute after boot-up
adb shell
adb root
adb remount
adb shell
driver_len
5 –> 4 –> 5 –> 4

Ethernet

Input the following instructions 1 minute after boot-up
Connect the device to one router.
For example, router’s default IP address is 192.168.0.1
Power on device and wait for 1 minute
adb shell “ifconfig | grep eth0” to confirm Ethernet is listed
adb shell “ping 192.168.0.1” to check if device can get response from the
router

Perform recording

Steps to test:

Set the device in root privileges
adb root
adb remount
Using qmmf_recorder_test Menu Options
adb shell
qmmf_recorder_test
1 : Connect
3. Start Camera
6. Create 4K AVC Session
A. Start Session To stop recording:
B –> D –> 4 –> 2 –> X
Once completed, output files are generated in /data/misc/qmmf folder

Troubleshooting

Problem & Debug instructions

Problem	Debug instructions
Does not boot up

Connect AC adaptor to DC jack
Connect KIT to PC using USB type C cable
Keep the device connected with the PC and check if device is still active by adb
- Load command “adb devices” to check if the device can be enumerated/detected
- If it is detected, flash all images by fastboot. If not, unplug/plug -in the USB cable several times until device is in fastboot mode
Use QFIL to flash all images using a re-worked USB cable. See QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) User Guide (80-NN120-1)

Lost WiFi/BT function| Flash all images by fastboot. If this does not work, return the device for further analysis.
No GPS data
No Sensor data
No image streaming
No USB function| It means device not detected by PC via USB cable

Check if the device is on
Use a new USB cable
Use QFIL to flash all images using a re-worked USB cable. See QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) User Guide (80-NN120-1)
Update the software using QFIL and re-check if the USB is functioning. If this does not work, return the device for further analysis

No HDMI output|

Check if the device is on
Use a new HDMI cable

Use QFIL to flash all images using a re-worked USB cable. See QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) User Guide (80-NN120-1).
Flash all images by fastboot
Change the display device. If this does not work, return the device for further analysis.

Cannot access the SD card| Try another SD card (SanDisk is recommended). If this does not work, return the device for further analysis.
No Ethernet function| Follow Section 5.4.1 step-by-step to enable and verify ethernet functionality

If no, please return the device back to us.

Device restore & recover

Using fastboot to flash all images

Flat build SW packages are available for download. Please contact our support team for download SW packages
Load adb command “adb reboot bootloader”
Load fastboot command “fastboot devices” to confirm if the device is in fastboot mode
- If it is in fastboot mode, run upgrade.bat to flash all images
- If not, unplug/plug-in the USB cable several times until the device is in fastboot mode then run upgrade.bat to flash all images
- If it still is not in fastboot mode, use QFIL to re-flash the images
Load fastboot command “fastboot reboot” to re-boot the device

Entering emergency download mode (EDL) by using a re-worked USB cable

Short the D+ (green cable) and GND (black cable) of the USB cable
Connect the device to a PC using this cable and then the device can enter 9008 mode
Swap in a normal USB cable then connect the device to a PC again to flash the images using the QFIL mode.
