Use ADB commands

Please notice that only in engineer mode terminal you can use ADB commands. Before use the ADB command, you must confirm the USB drivers have already installed in PC. The USB module is provided by Qualcomm, so you can download the driver from Qualcomm official website or some free driver tools, they can support Qualcomm USB driver.

For Q1,please download the ADB driver from http://adbdriver.com/, the USB driver from ftp://sdkuser:wizsdkar@ftp.wizarpos.com/QUD.WIN.1.1Installer-10039.2.zip (for win7) or ftp://sdkuser:wizsdkar@ftp.wizarpos.com/usbdriver_xp.rar (for winXP). Please install Android SDK to PC, please get the Android SDK from google.

The steps of install APK is like follows:

  1. Connect the terminal to PC.
  2. Open the dos window.
  3. Input the adb install –r XXX.apk

Use WizarView

WizarView is a Terminal Management System of WizarPOS, you can load your app to WizarView and push your app to the terminal. Please apply the account from wizarPOS then you can use WizarView.

Use TF card

  1. In TF card, there are two ways to create the folder for apk installation:
    1. Create the folder "\wizarpos\homesettings\homesettings_[customname]\apks". In this folder name, the [customname] is different for different customer. Please find this from the terminal settings, see the kernel version in Settings>About POS, if in the last line display “splash=wizarpos” , then the customname is wizarpos, so the folder is "\wizarpos\homesettings\homesettings_wizarpos\apks".
    2. Create the folder "\cloudpos\apks". This folder only works of PosSysAssistant app version 2.11.8 or above.
  2. Copy the apk files to the above folder.
  3. Install the TF card, start the terminal.
  4. After the terminal enter to system, will popup an install window, checked/unchecked the APK you want to install, then confirm. This step is only for 1.2, that is, the installed APK folder is \cloudpos\apks\XXX.apk.
  5. After the terminal enter to system, will popup the installation wizard, then install the APK according to the wizard.

Use USB flash

You can use USB flash by an OTG to USB Host convertor in terminal. The method is same as TF card.
