About This Document
This document contains the information necessary to produce a fully programmed Idrive Main board suitable for building of an Idrive X1 series camera. This includes all programming, testing, focus of lenses and bar code label.
Build Lot Preparation
Purchase all required parts.
Supplied serialized Bar code Labels from idrive, one per board.I propose we buy preprinted Polyimide lables for the main board. The Polyimide labels are made to survive the PCB assembly process and are pretty standard on PCB assemblies. The other two labels (for camera case and shipping box) would be scanned and printed at that stage of processing. It is not realistic for three labels to be printed and not have them get mixed up or lost through the process. Here is the closest label size I could find. 10mm x 22mm max is pretty small for the barcode and serial number to be visible. Let's discuss this
Process Flow Overview
Assemble PCB
1. SMT Placement - Use the supplied pick and place information supplied by Idrive
2. Through Hole / Hand parts - Document by vendor process
3. Place Barcode label on the SD Card connector Do we scan here to show board at this stage of processing for in factory WIP reports?
LED Height Requirements
- BiColor LED Mounting Height requirement is 6.25mm +/- 0.1MM from base of LED to PCB surface
- IR Leds Mounting Height ( requirement is 12.25mm +/- 0.1MM from base of LED to PCB surface
4. Advance the board to the next Station for Top Level Assembly

Lenses (2 per assembly) |
Bar code Labels with Serial number |
When an Idrive X1 main board completes the SMT and hand solder process there are more assembly steps needed.
1. Bar Code Labels - Unique Serial Number Labels will be pre-generated for each Main Board in the work order. Three labels are required for each serial number(one for the main board, one for final camera case, one for the outside of the packing box). The Bar Code Label needs to be max. 22 mm x 10 mm. After SMT Assembly each Main board needs have a serial number label (supplied) affixed to the SD Card Connector. This serial number will track the main board through all processes and eventually become the camera serial number. It will be difficult and error prone for all three labels to be printed up front. I suggest that one label be printed at this stage and affixed to the Main board. Then when the main board gets put into a camera we rescan the label and print another one at that time. Same with shipping, Scan the label and print it at that station to eliminate lost of mixed up labels.
2. Mounting of the two Lens Holders Mounting to the board.
3. Inserting the lenses in the Lens Holders.(Lenses are glued after programming and focus)
4. Advance the Top Level PCB assembly to the Programming Station

Programming Station Initialization
1.Configure Switches on the Programming Fixture
Ensure all switches are in the off position as shown.
Turn On the Power switch and leave the programmer on for the batch of boards.(you do not need to turn it off to program the next board)
Note: In auto programming mode only the Power Switch is used. The other the switch functions are controlled via software
2. Launch the Idrive Factory Tools 2.0 Application
- Factory-New Devices-Auto
- Select for Automatic programming of New Idrive X1 Devices (Most commonly used mode)
- Factory-New Devices- Manual
- Select for Manual Custom Programming of New Idrive X1 Devices
- RMA
- Select for RMA processing of Existing Idrive X1 Devices
- Idrive Development
- For internal Idrive Development use only The factory should not see this or disable it for them.
- SETTINGS
- Select to set Port number or non-standard IP addresses
- Factory Wiki
- Factory Manual on Admin Center
3. Configure Settings for the Fixture
Click on Settings
Set the port number for the fixture.
(Port number can be checked in "Control Panel> System and Settings> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Device Manager> Ports)
- Set Port number or non-standard IP addresses Hide Tabs for Factory ID and Admin Center. Only idrive should have access to these and not the factory.
4. Select Programming Mode (Normally Auto)
- Click on Factory-New Devices-Auto
- Serial Number field
- 12 character serial number for the device to be programmed as read from the label on the Motherboard. Usually filled in by the bar code scanner. After the field is populated press enter and the Auto Install Button will become active. We need error checking for correct serial number length and to ensure the previous serial number is not being used. If they forget to scan the new board the serial number from the old one will be used again.
- Auto Install Button
- A valid serial number must be entered for the button to be active. When selected it will open the The Automatic Install window (see below)
- Lens Focus Inactive in Auto Mode Is this true? I cannot test with Idrive Development mode
- Lens focus Mode - better words here
- X1 / X1-P / X1-3G
- Selects main board version - What does this really do at the motherboard level? They are all going to have the same firmware but just registered differently in AC? I need to know exactly what the differences are. If this means motherboards are not the same we have to order, build and stock two Main board assemblies. Big headaches and we will need more money tied up in inventory. Can't we move the declaration of final unit type to the final unit buildup step (final top camera level build)
- Event Test-Transfer and Play
- For Review of Events transferred from programmed X1 series board Logically this is at a different station from the factories perspective. The new main board must be programmed without the full camera or else the lenses cannot be focused. I feel this should be broken into separate top level sections
-New main board auto programming
- Auto Install of Boot loader, Kernel ,Filesystem, Main board configuration, Wire Events test
- Lens Focus
-New Camera Top Assembly Programming/Test It would help the factory if the x6 programming fixture could be used for this. That way 6 cameras can be doen at once with only one access point. An access point for each individual V7 programming station will cause problems
- Select X1 / X1-P / X1-3G
- Shock Event (Pause process to shake camera then click transfer and play to resume
- Transfer and Play (verifies Wifi)

Automatic Programming Idrive X1 Board
Setup X1 Board
1. Insert the Programming SD card into the device to be programmed.
2. Place the Idrive X1 board in to the Programming Fixture.
3. Connect the Power cable between the Idrive X1 Board and the Programming Fixture.
4. Connect the MINI HDMI cable between the Idrive X1 Board and the Programming Fixture.
5. Scan the serial number of the board from the barcode label (populates the serial number in the programmer)
Automatic Install
1. Click on the Factory-New Devices-Auto button to open The Automatic Install window
* All SD cards need to be unlocked (all SD cards have a lock/unlock switch). It depends on the SD Cards‟ provider whether or not the card needs to be formatted. In all cases if the SD Card needs formatting do not use the quick version.
2. Scan the Bar Code label with the serial number (if no bar code scanner is available type the serial number from the bar code label on the SD card socket into the serial number input field in the Idrive Factory Tools Application)
Program the board (bootloader, kernel, filesystem, Device configuration)
1. Insert the Firmware SD Card into the X1 board.
2. Press Start Installation on the Factory Tools App. You will have confirmation status for each step and the application will enter directly into the Focus Lens section if programming and configuration succeed.
Can we add a step here where the program pauses to allow for testing of a shock event?
Lens Focusing
1. Focus camera 1 (Driver Side) (the one on the same side of the camera as the LEDs).
2. Focus camera 2 (Road Side) (the one on the side of the camera without LEDs).
3. Fix the each lens with a drop of super glue.
4. Verify that the lenses can not move.
5. Click on
Verify That the IR LEDS are working
1. Use a camera phone or camera and view the IR LEDs and verify that they are all on.
Finish Programming - What is happening here?
1. Press Finish button on the Factory Tools
2. Remove the firmware SD Card and install a real SD Card
3. Disconnect the power cable and the adapter
Review Events
Create Shock Event
1. Pause the program to shake the camera and test the accelerometer(s) How can we do this?
1. Check for focus and image quality
2. Verify that one of each type of event is present
3. Verify that the audio is working
