Software Dev / Re: Chronos V0.7.0 Full Release

« on: March 13, 2022, 07:12:57 PM »

Hope everyone is doing well!

We've released update 0.7.2 with some more bugfixes:

• When NFS or SMB shares are configured for saving footage to networked drives, the camera will automatically re-connect to the shared drive on reboot
• NFS or SMB credentials configured on the Webpage will be synced with what's shown on the camera's built-in display

As usual, this update is available via Util -> Storage -> Apply Software Update, or with the full sd card image here:
http://debian.krontech.ca/builds/chronos-voyager-20220124.img.xz

We are having randomly some freeze of the camera.

We have two cameras at a location that create a digital experience (simulation of wind on the face).
Both units produce randomly the same symptom:

• Back screen frozen
• Loss of network (therefore all api timeout/unresponsive)

Here the settings:

Code: [Select]

Camera Model: CR14-1.0
Serial Number: 01946
Color Release Version: 0.7.0
FPGA Revision: 3.25
PMIC Firmware Version: 11
Sensor Temperature: 44.5 °C
System Temperature: 48.1 °C
Last Shutdown Reason: 49: AutoPwrOff, Software, PMIC Ack
Windows/SMB Net. Storage: IP: 10.3.26.148 / Mount: Chronos_Footage User/Pass: ****/****

To work around those; we have put some programmable socket to turn off/turn on the camera every day, but still happens randomly.
We have usage of ~20/30 videos daily.

The mechanism of our software that handles the camera:

• Connect to the camera via API on software start (only once a day on control station start)
• If camera respond; inject config and proceed to black calibration
• If camera respond but inject config API/black calibration are failing; reboot camera via API
• On-demand, once fully configured and response properly; we launch a record
• Record process: start record
• Record process: stop record
• Record process: push file to network storage
• Record process: clean camera storage

Please advise.
Cheers,
