[HoloLens2] Research Mode Trials

There is a Related tutorial on Research Mode in the MS web site. 

I tried to deploy one of the sample apps from this github. (https://github.com/microsoft/HoloLens2ForCV)

This slide seemed to have useful basic information.

 

To use the research mode app, it seemed that I need to turn the research mode on. When I tried to enter the Device Portal to turn the research mode, however, it was unable to connect.

Unable to connect the device portal.. But why?

And these guys had the same problem, and one suggested using other than USB 3.0 port. So I tried the 2.0 port but it didn't work.

IpOverUsb was obsolete according to the tutorial, but someone suggested to install it manually, so I considered trying it.

Before installing it, I checked whether there is already installed one, and there was one..!

I executed it as in this way with the sudo-opened terminal.

net start ServiceName

But it said the service was already running. 😢

So it was under the somewhat different name than I expected.

So IpOverUsb or connection service was not the problem.

I checked the IP with the winapp but the IP address seems not to be the problem, either.

 

I suspected maybe I'm not the admin user in this HoloLens (though I already set the Device Portal toggle on in HoloLens settings) and that's why I'm having the trouble entering the Device Portal.

It looked like requiring to see Azure-things to configure the admin setting, and it was quite cumbersome. So I procrastinated checking it, but I had to do at this time.

I don't have the authority, as one could have expected..

And it seemed I didn't have the authority to set myself as a device owner. That's quite what I expected previously. So I started to feel like being stuck again..

 

Maybe I should try different ways not using the device portal..
