Toolkit v1.6.2 released

[Takenori Sato]

Hello developers,

It's been a couple of months since the last announcement. But the new version of the EDGEMATRIX Toolkit, v1.6.2, has been released and is available on our private APT.

This version supports EDGEMATRIX Stream v1.10.1, which is the most stable version of the v1.X release.

Also, as a new feature, you can create your own custom AI pipeline such as multiple secondaries and pre/post custom processing as described here on the official document. 

In order to show these new features, the new toolkit_home_v1.2.0 with two new templates is available here.

You can update to this new version by following these instructions.

/mnt/nvme/toolkit_home$ tar xzvf toolkit_home_v1.2.0_20200826.tar.gz
/mnt/nvme/toolkit_home$ cd bin/
/mnt/nvme/toolkit_home/bin$ ./update_toolkit.sh

Also, I have added the following options to every app where possible. 

    "options": [
        {
            "key": {
                "element": "input",
                "property": "width"
            },
            "option_type": "gstreamer",
            "value_type": "number"
        },
        {
            "key": {
                "element": "input",
                "property": "height"
            },
            "option_type": "gstreamer",
            "value_type": "number"
        },
        {
            "key": {
                "element": "primary",
                "property": "interval"
            },
            "option_type": "gstreamer",
            "value_type": "number"
        },
        {
            "key": {
                "element": "aimeta",
                "property": "signal-interval"
            },
            "option_type": "gstreamer",
            "value_type": "number"
        }
    ]

They are practically necessary options for an end user to configure as needed. So I encourage to add them on all apps.

Last but not least, we have already migrated the EDGEMATRIX Stream to DS 5.0 on L4T 32.4, which will require a couple of months for the release. But if you are interested in early access to the new Stream, please contact our sales for more information.

Thanks!
