Hexagon (Manuel_dev) Mac OS
While building on Linux Ubuntu and Mac OS X environments is possible, we will be unable to support those platforms with detailed documentation. However, we have included hints and notes to platform specific issues that will help you set up your development environment on Linux Ubuntu 10.10 or Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). This guide helps you get started using Numbers 11.0 on your Mac. (To see which version of Numbers you have, choose Numbers About Numbers from the Numbers menu at the top of your screen.) To explore the Numbers User Guide, click Table of Contents near the top of this page, or enter a word or phrase in the search field.
Mac® Intel Processor; 1 GHz (1.8 GHz or faster recommended) Mac OS X 10.2 - Mac OS X 10.15; 512 MB RAM (1 GB+ recommended) 500 MB free hard drive space for installation; OpenGL compatible graphics card with at least 128 MB RAM (256 MB+ recommended).Additional Details: Currently, Big Sur is NOT compatible with Hexagon for Mac users.
Carrara maker Eovia Corp. has announced the release of Hexagon, a new 3D polygonal modeling software application for Mac OS X and Windows. Hexagon can be purchased as an electronic download for €169 (US$217.24).
Key features in Hexagon include edge-modeling characteristics, organic modeling with instant surface subdivision, advanced surface construction features like multiple extrusions, hulls and envelopes, high-level 3D modeling tools including Boolean operators, thickness, filleting and more, a fully editable construction history, and export to other formats including Carrara, OBJ, 3DS, DXL, STL and Illustrator.
System requirements call for Mac OS X v10.2 or later, G4/800MHz or faster, 256MB RAM, 24-bit color display, OpenGL-based 3D graphics and 300MB hard disk space. Registered users of Eovia Carrara or Amapi are eligible for a special upgrade price.
The system console allows low-level access to the system, debug output and analysis of the system boot process. The most convenient way to connect it is by using a Dronecode probe, but a plain FTDI cable can be used as well.

System Console vs. Shell
There are multiple shells, but only one console: The system console is the location where all boot output (and applications auto-started on boot) is printed.
- System console (first shell): Hardware serial port
- Additional shells: Pixhawk on USB (e.g. lists as /dev/tty.usbmodem1 on Mac OS)
USB shell: To just run a few quick commands or test an application connecting to the USBshell is sufficient. The Mavlink shell can be used for this, see below.The hardware serial console is only needed for boot debugging or when USB should be usedfor MAVLink to connect a GCS.
Snapdragon Flight: Wiring the Console
The developer kit comes with a breakout board with three pins to access the console. Connect the bundled FTDI cable to the header and the breakout board to the expansion connector.
Pixracer / Pixhawk v3: Wiring the Console
Connect the 6-pos JST SH 1:1 cable to the Dronecode probe or connect the individual pins of the cable to a FTDI cable like this:
Pixracer / Pixhawk v3 | FTDI | ||
---|---|---|---|
1 | +5V (red) | N/C | |
2 | UART7 Tx | 5 | FTDI RX (yellow) |
3 | UART7 Rx | 4 | FTDI TX (orange) |
4 | SWDIO | N/C | |
5 | SWCLK | N/C | |
6 | GND | 1 | FTDI GND (black) |
Pixhawk v1: Wiring the Console
The system console can be accessed through the Dronecode probe or an FTDI cable. Both options are explained in the section below.
Connecting via Dronecode Probe
Connect the 6-pos DF13 1:1 cable on the Dronecode probe to the SERIAL4/5 port of Pixhawk.
Connecting via FTDI 3.3V Cable
If no Dronecode probe is at hand an FTDI 3.3V (Digi-Key: 768-1015-ND) will do as well.
Pixhawk 1/2 | FTDI | ||
---|---|---|---|
1 | +5V (red) | N/C | |
2 | S4 Tx | N/C | |
3 | S4 Rx | N/C | |
4 | S5 Tx | 5 | FTDI RX (yellow) |
5 | S5 Rx | 4 | FTDI TX (orange) |
6 | GND | 1 | FTDI GND (black) |
The connector pinout is shown in the figure below.
The complete wiring is shown below.
Opening the Console
After the console connection is wired up, use the default serial port tool of your choice or the defaults described below:
Linux / Mac OS: Screen
Hexagon (manuel_dev) Mac Os X
Install screen on Ubuntu (Mac OS already has it installed):
- Serial: Pixhawk v1 / Pixracer use 57600 baud
- Serial: Snapdragon Flight uses 115200 baud
Connect screen at BAUDRATE baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit to the right serial port (use ls /dev/tty*
and watch what changes when unplugging / replugging the USB device). Common names are /dev/ttyUSB0
and /dev/ttyACM0
for Linux and /dev/tty.usbserial-ABCBD
for Mac OS.
Windows: PuTTY
Download PuTTY and start it.
Then select 'serial connection' and set the port parameters to:
- 57600 baud
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
Getting Started on the Console
Type ls
to view the local file system, type free
to see the remaining free RAM. The console will also display the system boot log when power-cycling the board.

MAVLink Shell
For NuttX-based systems (Pixhawk, Pixracer, ...), the nsh console can also beaccessed via mavlink. This works via serial link or WiFi (UDP/TCP). Make surethat QGC is not running, then start the shell with e.g../Tools/mavlink_shell.py /dev/ttyACM0
(in the Firmware source). Use -h
toget a description of all available arguments. You may first have to install thedependencies with sudo pip install pymavlink pyserial
.
When you are connected to your Snapdragon board via usb you have access to the px4 shell on the posix side of things.The interaction with the DSP side (QuRT) is enabled with the qshell
posix app and its QuRT companion.
With the Snapdragon connected via USB, open the mini-dm to see the output of the DSP:
Note: Alternatively, especially on Mac, you can also use nano-dm.
Run the main app on the linaro side:
You can now use all apps loaded on the DSP from the linaro shell with the following syntax:
For example, to see the available QuRT apps:
The output of the executed command is displayed on the minidm.
