This document explains how to create an image of a VC Z camera to be able to clone it on another camera. There are basically 4 steps:
The necessary components are: - the scripts to boot the rescue system: http://files.vision-components.com/VCLinux/image/boot_rescue_system.zip - the script to create webserver allowing to download the camera image: http://files.vision-components.com/VCLinux/image/gen_scripts.zip
You can either
- Connect the camera via RS232 cable to the PC, or
- reflash it over the LAN interface. See file "boot_rescue_system.zip".
Both options are explained in the following sections.
This is only possible if you have an SBC nano Z or a VC pro Z camera with the corresponding RS232 cable
If a message “Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete…” appears, wait for the camera to finish the process than press RETURN and run : run the qboot command to start rescue operating system. If the message does not appear, repeat the aforementioned steps.
#. Open any browser of your choice and connect the the IP 192.168.3.11. You should get a webpage similar to this:
#. Download the file xxxxxxx-mmcblk0p2.data, where xxxxxxx is the serial number of the camera. This is an image of the whole eMMC, so 15GB+. Rename the file to "mmcblk0p2.img"
#. Compress the image with gzip (for Windows here: http://www.gzip.org/#exe ). You will get a file "mmcblk0p2.img.gz"
Note
wget ftp://name@192.168.x.x/mmcblk0p2.img.gz -O - | zcat > /dev/mmcblk0p2
Replace name@192.168.x.x with the name and IP address of your PC where the FTP server server is running. 1. Wait until the process is finished, it can last 15-20 minutes. 2. Reboot the camera with "reboot" or turn the power of. 3. After rebooting check if the IP of the camera is the same as the one you wrote down on the beginning of this process or 192.168.3.15.
