Introduction

The operating system for the VisionSensor is based on Debian Linux. The Linux OS is usually preinstalled on delivery of the devices.

The Debian system comes with some development packages like gcc, g++ and make. Additional device specific packages are included by IMAGO: Linux kernel, bootloader, IMAGO SDK, firmware, …. The user can easily install additional packages from the standard Debian repositories.

IMAGO provides the Linux images as tar.gz archives which contain the root file system. Each image has a unique version number which is part of the archive file name.

Example: deb10_vspv_v1.2_a.tar.gz

`deb10`	→	OS: Debian 10
`vspv`	→	Target device: VisionSensor PV, `vspv3` is used for the VisionSensor PV3
`v1.2`	→	Image version (see page Release Notes)
`a`	→	Image configuration
