• Standalone mode oak ffc 4p does not work

erik Or is there any other way to work without a Computer?

      Maimilian It's always suggested to write concise and thought-over messages 🙂

      1. It depends on the opportunity. If you could share the volume opportunity here (or email support@luxonis.com) we can expedite this. Commitment (to buy) may be required. If this is a bachelors thesis then I don't see this being implemented even in 1 year, but if there are 1000s pcs/year opportunity then we would fix this over the weekend. I hope you understand.
      2. depthai-core github repository.
      3. No, I don't think so.
      4. No, standalone mode is the only way.

          erik Thanks for all your help! We decided to use a raspberry pi to have a non standalone mode on the board.

              Maimilian Also to set board config (to have an effect in standalone mode), you could use pipeline.setBoardConfig(config).

                  erik I think this solution sounds good as well. However, I have to use config=dai.BoardConfig() instead of config=dai.Device.Config(). Do you know how to set the GPIO pins and the uart in this case? Thanks for your suggestions!

                      Hi Maimilian ,
                      dai.Device.Config.board is an object of the dai.BoardConfig. So:

                      boardConfig = dai.BoardConfig()
boardConfig.gpio[int] = GPIO(...)
pipeline.setBoardConfig(boardConfig)

                          erik Makes sense. What could be a possible index instead of int? Is it my uart number? And what do I need to write into GPIO(…) because I have to set the rx and tx port

                              erik Thanks a lot! I think config.version is then unrelevant as there is no attribute version, isn‘t it? 🙂

                                Hi, i'm also interested in using the ffc-4p with SoM-Pro for prototyping. The datasheet says the ffc-4p uses the SoM-Pro, which has 128MB of flash, so could someone please explain where the 16MB limitation discussed above is coming from?

                                • erik replied to this.

                                  Hi rmaxwell , due to supply chain issues, some SOM-Pros have 16MB of NOR flash and instead have additional eMMC flash (eg. 16GB). You can check that using https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/samples/bootloader/bootloader_version/#bootloader-version
                                  Example for OAK-D LR:

                                  python .\bootloader_version.py

                                    nem Yes, it worked. Just go through the steps mentioned above (e.g. compress =true). Feel free to write back in you have any further questions
