CIQ 3.0 on only 4 devices

After poking around the new 3.0 SDK, I discovered that only 4 devices are currently supported: FR645, FR645M, Fenix 5X, Edge 1030.

Can someone else verify this?

Here are their memory limits:

5X
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="98304" prg_limit="1048576" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1310720" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="32768" />
</app_types>
1030
<app_types>
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="131072" />
</app_types>
645
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="98304" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="32768" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="32768" />
</app_types>
645M
<app_types>
<app id="watchface" memory_limit="131072" />
<app id="watch-app" memory_limit="1048576" />
<app id="widget" memory_limit="524288" />
<app id="datafield" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="background" memory_limit="65536" />
<app id="audio-content-provider-app" memory_limit="262144" />
</app_types>

The only device with CIQ3 right now is the 645m, and then only with the 3.11 beta FW that was announced at the summit. The f5x is still 2.4.x - you can check on this kind of thing in "about" on the watch, and scroll down to CIQ.

If you're not using any CIQ3 functionality, you can build with the 3.0.0 beta SDKs and sideload to a device with CIQ2, but the app will crash if you try to use things that are new in CIQ3.

Yes, there was a special beta for the 645m that came out when 3.0.0 was announced in April (ver 3.11). Production FW for the 645m is still 2.4.x.

3.11: https://www8.garmin.com/support/down...s.jsp?id=14143

With the production FW for the 645m being 3.30, you may be able to go back to something before 3.11 (3.10 for example), and the go to 3.11, but 3.11 is old as far as some of the new features on the 645m.

But seem like instruction of that link can work on 645m of APAC,I just cant install this FW

As far as I know, there is no APAC beta version with CIQ 3.0 support yet.

If it's like in the past, when ROW devices start getting production FW with CIQ3, the APAC devices will come after that (maybe a month or two). For devices like the fenix 5, where they release beta FW, it's for ROW devices only.

Sad to hear that about APAC device...Just hope that RAM of FR645M can be fully utilised by developer and hope that restriction of memory by music app can be revamped

Those watch-app memory_limit values are interesting. The 5X one of 1310720 looks like a typo for its current 131072 though? The 1048576 for the 645M might be useful though -- Edge-levels of app memory on a watch.

As a developer, normally what can be done to utilised app memory limit of that amount?

Is there a firmware update for the Oregon 7xx, that will support CIQ3, somewhere in the pipeline of pending firmware releases?

jim_m_58 over 7 years ago

Are you looking for CIQ3 features on the Oregon, or just building for Oregon devices in general? The 3.0.3 SDK builds for them fine. I just checked and it looks like the latest FW has a 2.4.1 vm (4.20 fw). As far as when it gets a CIQ3 vm, only the Garmin folks can say. But in the past, the Oregon/Rino came a bit later than other devices.
