Use tools like SSH to copy the deployment file folder evs_mode_release to the RDK system. Here, /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release is used as an example.

3.3 Configure Environment Variables

Copy the library files in the lib folder to the /usr/hobot/lib/sensor/ directory:

sudo cp /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so.1.0.0 /usr/hobot/lib/sensor/libapx003cc.so.1.0.0
sudo cp /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so.1 /usr/hobot/lib/sensor/libapx003cc.so.1
sudo cp /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so /usr/hobot/lib/sensor/libapx003cc.so

Then grant executable permissions to the files:

chmod +x /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so.1.0.0
chmod +x /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so.1
chmod +x /app/cdev_demo/sample_evs/evs_mode_release/lib/libapx003cc.so
