JeVois smart machine vision Ubuntu repository

This repository is for JeVois Ubuntu packages for developers only. Please see http://jevois.org for the main JeVois smart machine vision site.

If you want to use your JeVois smart camera using the bundled machine vision algorithms, and possibly develop new modules in Python only, then simply get and flash a microSD image from http://jevois.org/start.

For questions and answers, see the new JeVois Techzone forum.

Upgrading from previous JeVois versions

Note: This will not work for the transition from JeVois 1.20.0 to 1.21.0 as this involved a full operating system change (from Ubuntu 20.04 focal to Ubuntu 24.04 noble).

If you have previously installed packages from this repository, you should be able to upgrade simply by typing, in a terminal:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
    

If you encounter any difficulty, try:

sudo apt purge "*jevois*"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jevois-sdk-dev # or jevoispro-sdk-dev, etc
sudo apt purge modemmanager
sudo apt install jevois-inventor # JeVois-A33 only

Getting JeVois developer software - Details

Depending on what you want to do, you may not need jevois-sdk-dev and all its dependencies. Follow the commands above for your desired distro, up to the 'apt autoremove' part. Then:

• If you just want to run JeVois software (jevois-daemon) on your host computer with a standard webcam:

  	  sudo apt install jevois-host jevoisbase-host
  	

• If you want jevois and jevoisbase cross-compiled for the platform hardware:

  	  sudo apt install jevois-platform jevoisbase-platform
  	

• If you want to be able to flash a microSD card using jevois-flash-card:

  	  sudo apt install jevois-sdk
  	

• If you want to be able to cross-compile new modules for JeVois platform hardware:

  	  sudo apt install jevois-sdk-dev
  	

• If you want to be able to recompile the platform Linux kernel or change the platform O.S. or add new buildroot packages to the platform:

  	  You need to rebuild jevois-sdk from source. Use the rebuild-os.sh script in jevois-sdk/docker/ (you can run it in docker).
