Re: [beagleboard] How to connect a low-cost CMOS imager directly to BBB CPU?
Have you looked at a cape? http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Capes I counted two listed at the cape website.

The AM37xx supports a camera interface. It is used in the BeagleBoard-xM. Gerald On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 11:47 AM, dvoc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Gerald, thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately, it appears that both of these capes rely on an ASIC to perform the glue logic between the CMOS imager and the TI CPU, which greatly increases BOM costs. I'm currently trying to find a chip that can beat a $7 Freescale i.MX25 connected directly to a sub-$3 CMOS imager for a cost-sensitive application. Is there anyway to connect a CMOS imager directly to the TI Cortex A8? Thanks!

Re: [beagleboard] How to connect a low-cost CMOS imager directly to BBB CPU?
Hi Gerald, thanks for that useful info. The AM37xx does indeed appear to have a video input port capable of interfacing to CMOS imager. Unfortunately for us the $14 per chip price is too much for this next application... although a high-end product using this chip could be of use eventually.

It does. AM3730. There is even a CMOS imager add-on board. http://www.elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoard-xM Gerald On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 1:19 PM, dvoc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Gerald, thanks for that useful info.

Hi! What CMOS imager do you use? $3 sounds tasty 30 Июн 2014 г. 16:55 пользователь dvoc...@gmail.com написал: Hi all, I am looking for a low-cost solution to connect a sub $3 CMOS imager to a sub $6 application processor.
