Ubuntu Installation
We’ve tested the installation on Ubuntu 16.04.
1.
Download the appropriate version of Spinnaker SDK from
https://www.flir.com/products/spinnaker-sdk/
2.
Unpack the tar.gz file for the appropriate system architecture.
3.
Follow the README directions to install
necessary dependencies
and then run the
installer
script
.
4.
It’s necessary to c
onfigure the ethernet card that the Boson is plugged into. It might be
necessary to find which ethernet card the Boson is plugged into. To do this run ‘ifconfig’ with
the ethernet cable unplugged then reconnect the ethernet cab
le and run ‘ifconfig’ again.
You
should see a change in one of the ethernet cards.
