Installation

Check for previous installation

Devices that are shipped after September 20th, 2018 have already the HemiStereo update service installed. You can check if the service is installed using the following steps:

1. Open a terminal on the device via SSH or by connecting a monitor and keyboard.
2. Check if the service is running using the following command:
   sudo systemctl is-active hemiupd
3. If the command returns active, the update service is already installed and you can skip the installation instructions.

Installing the service

Please follow these steps for installing the HemiStereo update service:

1. Open a terminal on the device via SSH or by connecting a monitor and keyboard.

Update HemiStereo software

Updates for the HemiStereo software on the sensor device are packaged in the HemiStereo SDK installation on your host machine. To get device updates, you have to install the latest version of the HemiStereo SDK or upgrade the already installed version using the maintenancetool executable in the installation directory.
When everything is up-to-date, open the HemiStereo Viewer application. The HemiStereo Viewer will search for devices and check for updates. If any update is available, the update button next to the device entry becomes orange:

After clicking the button, a dialog appears which displays some information about the available updates.

To update the device, just click on the Update button at the bottom of the dialog. The update tool will upload the packages and install them on the device. After updating, the status message of each package should show “Up-to-date”.

If anything went wrong, please contact support@3dvisionlabs.com.

Notes

• In older devices, the HemiStereo SDK was installed under /opt/osp. In current releases, the SDK is installed under /opt/3dvisionlabs/hemistereo. Please adapt your library search path if you have custom software running on the device.
