Dev Mode and Debug Mode

Dev Mode

The dev mode gives you access to all parts of the system.

Environment details

1. Filesystem is mounted in read write mode
2. Network is enabled, allowing SSH access
3. System boots to shell (terminal)

How to enable?

There are three methods available for enabling Dev Mode:

1. Via /boot/crankshaft/crankshaft_env.sh -> DEV_MODE=1
2. By creating a file named ENABLE_DEVMODE on a USB stick, inserting the USB stick and rebooting
3. Within the Crankshaft settings app, CS Env tab, Enable GPIO, Dev Mode select GPIO which must be set to low to trigger Dev Mode.

Note: You can optionally set DEV_MODE_APP=1 if you want OpenAuto to start, instead of the dev mode default of booting to shell (terminal). /boot/crankshaft/crankshaft_env.sh will be checked for DEV_MODE_APP=1, to determine whether to start OpenAuto, regardless of which method used to enable Dev Mode.

Debug Mode

The debug mode is created to allow a normal system start including network like in dev mode and enabling some logging.

How to enable?

1. You can enable the debug mode in /boot/crankshaft/crankshaft_env.sh -> DEBUG_MODE=1
2. You can place a file called ENABLE_DEBUG on a usb stick an connect it to the system During boot the file will be detected and the system will boot into debug mode
3. You can enable the debug mode inside settings of openauto starting with pre4

Note: If both modes are enabled debug mode is dominant.

Creating Debug Log

How to create?

1. Start in debug mode
2. Reproduce the problem - for example open settings - change value and save
3. Push the gray button on bottom of main screen. You will get a text note and the button is invisible
4. After creation the logs are zipped and placed on /boot/debug.zip
