OAK-4D Setup Issues (QR code & oakctl both fail)

yishu_corpex

Hi ,

I’m trying to setup an OAK-4D following the “Setup” section of the deployment guide. However, it is not able to setup the camera and the blue light keeps on blinking. Neither the QR Code nor the Oakctl work.

What I’ve tried

Used the setup page and pointed the camera at the generated QR code. However the LED keeps blinking blue
Ran the command below on the command prompt from Windows PC (oakctl v0.12.5):

oakctl setup --password test --static-ip 192.168.220.2,255.255.255.252,0.0.0.0 --app-config "{}" --agent-config "sc=TPETTX" --dont-check-internet --time-zone America/Toronto --time "@1752243987" --enable-error-reporting --peripheral-mode

It returns: “Device with serial number 4253339041 has no associated IP. Error: adb start-server command failed: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)”
I even used adb to look for available devices when connected via usb. Adb does show the device.
I also checked using oakctl and it does show the device is available as shown below..
+---+---------------+-----------+------------+-----+---------------+-------+

| # | Serial Number | Device | Connection | OS | Agent Version | Setup |

+==========================================================================+

| 1 | 4253339041 | OAK4-D R7 | usb:0-13 | N/A | N/A | N/A |

+---+---------------+-----------+------------+-----+---------------+-------+
I then also set the IP address using ADB and I get success and I am able to ping the device as well. But still get the same IP error as above.

Has anyone seen this behavior or knows what to check next in order to resolve this setup issue?

Thanks & Regads

Hi yishu_corpex
The gateway you set is incorrect. Please set it to an actual IP.
Though it does seem like the oakctl does not find the internal adb. Try doing a oakctl self-update.

Hi @jakaskerl

I updated the IP as below. However, if i try to go back to dhcp, adb gives me an error as in the image below.

Now when i try to connect after setting up the static IP as the above image i get the error as shown below. I also updated the oakctl as mentioned by you.

Also do I need to be connected via Ethernet or USB? Right now i am connected via both and as per my understanding USB will take precedence.

So I factor reset the device first using the pinhole button at the back of the camera. Then I connect it via ethernet first and oakctl can't find the device. Then i connect it via usb while the ethernet is connected and oakctl can find the camera in usb mode but can't run the setup as shown in the screenshot below.

I'm trying to understand what exactly is going wrong.

Thanks,

Can you adb into the device? I'm interested to know the OS version. Also, the gateway should be the first address in the subnet - in your case that is 192.168.50.1.

Hi @yishu_corpex
Checking back, have you had a chance to check?

Hi @jakaskerl

This is what I see when i run this command on the adb shell.

Thanks,

adb shell cat /etc/os-release. I'm assuming it's 1.8. Can you update the OS to latest and check the compatibility chart https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/sw-stack/luxonis-os/#Luxonis%20OS-OS%20Compatibility%20Chart. If you are on 1.8.0, then you need oakctl 0.4.2 OR you update the OS to 1.15 (recommended).

Hi @jakaskerl,

I followed the documentation to update the OS to the lates version. When I try to push the OTA update file (latest 1.15 version) to the camera using adb I get the errors as shown in the attached screenshot. Seems like a permission issue first and then broken pipe (what does this mean?)

I also tried pushing the file by running the cmd as an administrator but I get the same broken pipe error there as well.

Thanks,
Yishu

Hmm. Try:

adb root
adb push full_update_luxonis_ext4_debug-1.15.0.zip /data/

Thanks,

That worked 🙂
So after the OS update i was able to complete the setup. I'll test it further with some example scripts and let you know if anything else pops up.

Thanks & Regards
