Sensoray 2224 Linux - Manual (Page 4)

Software
Installation
The software can be downloaded from the Sensoray’s web site at
http://www.sensoray.com/2226.
The SDK has been developed on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS and support is
provided for this distribution. Sensoray will update the SDK for later versions of
Ubuntu (LTS only).
The SDK should work on other Linux versions as long as the kernel version is 2.6.30 or
higher. It is recommended to use kernel 3.10 or higher for best performance
(videobuf2 support).
Setup is performed as follows.
1) untar the tgz file. “tar xvfz s2226_vXYZ.tgz” where XYZ is the version of the
SDK.
2) “cd s2226_vXYZ“ where XYZ is the version.
3) Type “make all”
4) Type “make modules_install”.
5) Make sure 2226 in plugged in and turned on.
6) “modprobe s2226” loads the driver.
Firmware update
Some older boards may not have the latest firmware installed. If you need the newer
features in the SDK (for example 720p 24fps or 1080p 24fps), you may want to update the
firmware. Updating the firmware should be done very carefully. Do not unplug the board
during a firmware update or you may have to send the board to Sensoray for repair.
The firmware is updated as follows:
1. “make fw_customer”
2. ./fw_customer
3. If the board is up to date, it will display a message saying so
4. If not, press “Y” to update the firmware
