Overview

HeliOS is an on-device runtime for capture, vision pipelines, telemetry, and operations. This documentation is written to help you get hardware online, build working pipelines, and debug issues quickly.

The Mental Model​

Most of the OS flows map to the same loop:

  • Streams capture frames (and optionally record/capture-last).
  • Pipelines run transforms/inference and produce outputs.
  • Systems tells you what the device is doing right now (logs, console, processes, sensors).
  • Media stores recordings, captures, and uploaded assets for replay and export.

Quick Paths​

  • If you are new, start with Guides > Guides Overview.
  • If you are installing for the first time, start with Getting Started > Install and First Boot.
  • If you want something working fast, start with Guides > Create Your First Stream, then Guides > ArUco Quickstart.
  • If you are stuck, start with Guides > Troubleshooting.
  • If you are integrating externally, start with API > HTTP API (and WebSockets/NT4 as needed).
