Software & Development
Host Software
PC software (Windows / Ubuntu) to configure, monitor and upgrade HiPNUC IMU / AHRS / INS / RTK sensors.
Linux compatibility
Verified on Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 and 24.04 (x86_64). Other Linux distributions and ARM platforms have not been verified. The AppImage uses a static runtime and does not require libfuse2; before first launch, run chmod +x CHCenter-linux-x86_64.AppImage. Serial access requires device permissions; CAN uses SocketCAN (for example, can0) and the interface must be configured by the system first.
USB Serial Driver (CP210x)
When the device is connected over USB but no serial (COM) port shows up in Device Manager (or the port has a warning icon), install this driver first (the serial chip is a Silicon Labs CP210x). On Linux the kernel ships it built-in — no install needed.
