About this RoadTest

WaRP7WaRP7 speeds and eases development of Internet of things and wearable devices by addressing technology challenges and freeing developers to focus on creating differentiated features. The platform consists of a main board and a daughter card. The main board is based on the NXP i.MX 7Solo applications processor that features an advanced implementation of the ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, as well as the ARM® Cortex®-M4 core.

This unique heterogeneous multicore architecture enables low-power modes critical for most IoT end node and wearable designs, but also provides the power to drive a higher level operating system and a rich user interface. The daughter card is based on a flexible design with sensors to collect a range of data and the MikroBus™ expansion socket opens users to over 200 Click Boards™, allowing rapid prototyping across all potential wearable usage models. All components included in this system were selected based on low power, small form factor and cost.

WaRP7 has been architected and designed from the ground up to address the key challenges faced in the Internet of Things and wearables market, such as battery life, connectivity, user experience, and miniaturization. WaRP7 is an open source platform backed by the development community and design & manufacturing capabilities of element14.

Hi Randall,

It is camera-specific, and may be worth the user raising it at NXP, since there are people who will have done this, e.g. according to the link below someone asked a similar question and they were given some advice:
https://community.nxp.com/thread/453644
Basically they were advised to build the Linux image. There may be an existing image that works, but someone on that site should hopefully know or have done this.

Hi Randall,

I am not familiar with this specific board. If it is Linux compatible and there might support with Open CV. The camera might require drivers and some configuration to work.

Someone contacted me and said they were unable to get the camera working for the Warp7. Can anyone help?

He asks: Are there instructions on a Linux build for getting camera support and the steps to follow?

Please post any comments here.

Thanks.

There were 438 applicants for this roadtest and I only have received 1 review -- 20%. Not a great showing.

Since I received one review, I presume people have received there boards. No one has contacted me indicating they have not.

Were there technical problems that impeded the testing and the review writing? Even if you did experience a problem, you can still write the review. Tell us what you experienced for better or worse.

If you have no intention on writing the review, message me and I'll give you my mailing address so you can return it to me.

Leland,

I believe you should be able to.

Thanks for the email. I realize all our RoadTesters are busy people. So, if I know you are working on it, that's fine.

I just edited a 2 year old road test review so you certainly can edit after 60 days.

Hi Randall,

I've not had much "down time". However, to meet my commitment, I've created an (initial) RoadTest Review.

I have a question. I know I can edit it. But can I edit this after the 60 days are up? (See my review for the slight complication I hit. Maybe I'm missing something?)

Thank you,
Leland...

Hi RoadTesters!

If you have some downtime during this time of year, I'd encourage you to work on your review and post it.
