Changes in this release
- Bumped recipes to pick the latest software release
Known issues and workarounds
- MIPI-CSI cameras no longer work by default. For more information on how to start, see “chapter 7.3.8” in i.MX Linux User’s Guide (document IMXLUG).
Launching applications
Applications that are included in GoPoint for i.MX Applications Processors can be launched via various interfaces.
Graphical user interface
On boards where GoPoint for i.MX Applications Processors is available, an NXP logo is displayed on the top left-hand corner of the screen. Users can start the demo launcher by clicking this logo.
After opening the program, users can launch demos using the following options shown in Figure 2:
- To filter the list, select the icon on the left to expand the filter menu. From this menu, users can select a category or subcategory that filters the demos displayed in the launcher.
- A scrollable list of all the demos supported on that EVK appears in this area with any filters applied. Clicking a demo in the launcher brings up information about the demo.
- This area displays the names, categories, and description of the demos.
- Clicking Launch Demo launches the currently selected demo. A demo can then be force-quit by clicking the Stop current demo button in the launcher (appears once a demo is started).
Note: Only one demo can be launched at a time.
Text user interface
Demos can also be launched from the command line through log-in into the board remotely or using the onboard serial debug console. Remember that most demos still require a display to run successfully.
Note: If prompted for a login, the default user name is “root” and no password is required.
To start the text user interface (TUI), type the following command into the command line:
# gopoint tui
The interface can be navigated using the following keyboard inputs:
- Up and down arrow keys: Select a demo from the list on the left
- Enter key: Runs the selected demo
- Q key or Ctrl+C keys: Quit the interface
- H key: Opens the help menu
Demos can be closed by closing the demo onscreen or pressing the “Ctrl” and “C” keys at the same time.
