Platform Info Application

This Application is a diagnosis tool. It executes a full diagnosis on Metavision software and systems and checks the compatibility with your platform.

The source code of this application can be found in <install-prefix>/share/metavision/hal/apps/metavision_platform_info when installing Metavision SDK from installer or packages. For other deployment methods, check the page Path of Samples.

Expected Output

The application prints information to the console including the platform information, installed Metavision software and connected event-based systems.

Example of the output on Ubuntu 18.04:
