About This Document

This document contains the information necessary to produce a Idrive Main board suitable for building of an Idrive X2 series camera. This includes all programming, testing, focus of lenses and bar code label.

About Idrive X2 Production Process

The production process for the Idrive X2 cameras has been created with purpose in mind of tracking all work in progress as well as finished goods. This information is sent over the internet to the Idrive AdminCenter website where it is logged and configuration information is obtained for each device. As much of the testing as possible has been automated however certain steps will require human intervention. Where ever possible a bar code reader is used to reduce input errors.

To facilitate this tracking each X2 Main board MUST HAVE a serial number assigned to it. Idrive produces the range of serial numbers for each build and allocates them to the assembly vendor when a purchase order is issued. This serial number must remain unique and track through the production process all the way to a finished camera (which will inherit this serial number) or to scrap of the PCB assembly due to defect. A serial number should NEVER be reused.

Final X2 Camera Testing (Bi-Color LEDS, Accelerometers, IR LEDs, Wifi Transfers, GPS)

Note:The Idrive X2 programmer may also be used to perform this portion of the programming provided a wireless router is configured and connected to the system. For better throughput and to reduce the number of wireless networks in a factory environment it is recommended that the x6 Programmer be used. Because this document is intended to support production the x6 programmer process is shown here.

<br\><br\>

Stage 2 Initialize x6 programming station

x6 Final Test Station Initialization

1. Connect up to 6 cameras into the x6 programmer using the 6 pin power cables

2. Press any one of the Ignition On buttons (Turns the Ignition on for all of the Devices)

3. As the cameras boot observer the Bi-Color LEDs and confirm correct function

4. Visually verify that all 4 IR LEDs are on

<br\><br\>

Test Accelerometer function

1. After camera turns Green/Green shake the camera to trigger a shock event

2. While the shock event is recording place your hand in front of the Driver Side Lens to check the IR LED Function

<br\><br\>

Transfer the event(s) to the Test Station

1. Turn off the Ignition to the camera(s) and verify that each camera downloads

- Green text is good (verification that a shock event triggered and has GPS data)

- Red text is bad (Camera connected but no event was downloaded or failed GPS Data)

- No text (camera did not download to test station. WiFi failure?)

<br\><br\>

Play and Evaluate downloaded event file(s)

- Verify Both Driver and Road side images are clear and in focus

- Verify that you can see the IR light reflected off of your hand

- Verify audio sound clarity

Print and affix exterior serial number label to camera

10. Disconnect the power cable from the Camera(s)

11. Print label containing the serial number, Bar code and MAC address and affix to the camera as shown:

12. Attach Windshield support to the Support Spur using the supplied screw and nut. (Note correct orientation of the window mount)

• Perform this step after Final Test. With the Windshield mount in this position the power cable cannot be plugged into the device for testing.

12. Check the "Final Box" in AdminCenter to make the camera eligible for shipment. Advance the Camera to Shipping

Appendix A - SD Card Preparation

The X2 Micro SD cards need to be be formatted with the EXT4 filesystem and have the system image placed on them. There are several ways to accomplish this

• SB Shark Duplicator

• Using a Linux system(a virtual machine is installed on the programming station for this purpose)

• A windows PC with a third party driver the recognizes the EXT4 filesystem (not recommended)there is an open source Windows driver for ext3/4 that can be used to read these cards: http://www.ext2fsd.com/ ensure to check the write option at installation time. This often cause system crashes with "the blue screen of death"

• Purchase SD cards that are preprogrammed (not economical base on the quotes we received)

After duplication affix label or stamp with version so there is a difference between programmed and unprogrammed cards.

Use of a Linux System for MicroSD copying

Overview - Any Linux system can be used for staging the Idrive X2 filesystem on the MicroSD card. The filesystem type on the SDcard needs to be EXT4 format (Linux filesystem). There are open source drivers available that allow windows to recognize the EXT4 file system but they very unstable and cause system crashes. It is therefore recommended that Linux be used for the microSD programming. The programming station has Ubuntu Linux installed on it using VMWare (virtual system).

Using VMware for access to Ubuntu Linx

Double Click on the VMware Icon on the desktop or launch from the start menu

Double Click "Ubuntu - 64bit" to lauch the virtual machine

The Ubuintu system window will open and prompt you for username (ubuntu) and password (none)(the word, not blank).

Click on the X2 MicroSD Programming Icon.

A terminal window will open and the MicraSD card(s) will be formatted and the filesystem written to them. While this is happening you will see "Still Waiting for Cards..."

Upon successful completion you will see Cards are done! The amount of time for the process will depend on the number of cards being programmed at the same timw. I there is an error ?
