Qualcomm Android Board Configurations

R2026b

To configure the Qualcomm® Android® hardware board, complete these steps.

Prerequisites

  • The board must be run on Android OS.

  • The board must be a Snapdragon Android board.

  • The board must have root access.

Note

Copy the sysMon binary on to the target (If not present) from the SDK using the following adb command:

  • adb root

  • adb remount

  • adb push ${HEXAGON_SDK_ROOT}/tools/utils/sysmon/sysMonApp /data/local/tmp/

  • adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/sysMonApp

  1. Press Ctrl+E to open the Model Configuration Parameters.

  2. Set the Hardware board parameter to Qualcomm Android Board.

    The hardware board settings automatically populate with their default values.

    You can adjust these parameters for your use case.

Device

Use Qualcomm Device Cloud hardware

Select this option to use a hardware device with the Qualcomm Device Cloud instead of a locally connected physical board. For more information on connecting to a cloud device, see Qualcomm Device Cloud Overview.

Default: off

SSH tunneling port

Specify the SSH tunneling port for the cloud device connection. This parameter is only available when Use Qualcomm Device Cloud hardware is selected.

Note

Enter the same port number as the SSH tunneling port value that the Qualcomm Device Cloud interface displays as the ADB port when you connect to a device. For example, if the Qualcomm Device Cloud interface shows the ADB port as 5044, set the SSH tunneling port to 5044.

Default: <empty>

To check if the cloud device is connected, run the following command in Windows® Command Prompt.

adb -P <SSH tunneling port number> devices  

Port forwarded through ADB

Specify the port forwarded through ADB for the cloud device connection. This parameter is only available when Use Qualcomm Device Cloud hardware is selected.

For PIL simulation, specify an additional SSH port in the 8900-8909 range and configure port forwarding on the cloud device. For more information, see Connect to Additional Ports on the Device.

Default: <empty>

Interface

Select the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) interface for the selected hardware board.

  • ADB over USB — Select this option if you have connected to a USB device.

  • ADB over TCP/IP — Select this option if you have a remotely connected hardware board.

Default: ADB over USB

Supported interfaces: ADB over USB and ADB over TCP/IP

IP address

Specify the IP address of the remotely connected hardware board. This parameter is available only when Interface is set to ADB over TCP/IP.

Default: <empty>

Port

Specify the port number of the remotely connected hardware board. This parameter is available only when Interface is set to ADB over TCP/IP.

Default: <empty>

Get device information

Click Get device information to get the device ID of the remotely connected hardware board.

Device id

Displays the connected device ID. This value auto-populates when you click Get device information.

Default: <empty>

PIL

Execution timeout

Specify the processor-in-the-loop (PIL) execution timeout in seconds.

Default: 30

Build Options

Build action

Defines how Embedded Coder® software responds when you press Ctrl+B to build your model.

Default: Build

Build

Press Ctrl+B or click Build.

  1. Generates code from the model.

  2. Compiles and links the code into an executable with libraries.

This option does not load and run the executable on the Qualcomm Hexagon processor.

Disable parallel build

Select this option to compile the generated code in parallel order for faster build.

  • on — The support package compiles generated code sequentially.

  • off — The support package compiles generated code in parallel. Parallel execution reduces the build time.

Default: off
