[beagleboard] How to connect a low-cost CMOS imager directly to BBB CPU?

2014-06-30 Thread dvochin
Hi all, I am looking for a low-cost solution to connect a sub $3 CMOS imager to a sub $6 application processor. This is for a cost-sensitive video application. Unfortunately, it looks like the TI processor at the heart of the BBB cannot directly decode CMOS imagers. All camera capes I have

Have you looked at a cape? http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBone_Capes I counted two listed at the cape website. Gerald On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 4:05 PM, dvoc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all, I am looking for a low-cost solution to connect a sub $3 CMOS imager to a sub $6 application

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

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. The AM37xx does indeed appear to have a video input port capable of
