Connect to DevKit

OptiView can connect to any remote DevKit over the network, regardless of the platform it is installed on. Upon launch, users are prompted to enter the IP address and root password of the target DevKit to establish the connection. For the default root password, contact support@sima.ai.

If OptiView is installed directly on the DevKit, no password is required to access and control the device.

Once connected, the bottom toolbar displays key system metrics retrieved from the DevKit:

• Firmware version

• CPU load

• Memory usage

• MLA (Machine Learning Accelerator) memory usage

• File system usage

• Board core temperature (available on Davinci DevKit only)

These metrics provide immediate visibility into the system status of the connected DevKit.

In addition, the /data/simaai/applications directory on the remote DevKit is automatically shown in the OptiView code editor. Users can select an application folder from a dropdown menu to explore or edit its contents directly within the IDE.
