Hardware Setting
- Customize a 26←–>40 pin cable connector;
- Connect camera to PPI interface;
- All switch on BF537-stamp board set up as default;
Kernel Configuration
The BF537 has a built-in two wire interface (TWI) peripheral and unlike the BF333-STAMP does not require the generic I2C support that is described here. under Customize Kernel Settings:
== Select Blackfin Processor Options ==
== Select BF537 Specific Configuration ==
Enable Select BF537/6/4 default GPIO PFx PORTG
== Select Device Drivers ==
== Select Character devices ==
Enable [*] Blackfin BF53x Programmable Flags Driver
Enable [*] Blackfin BF5xx PPI Camera frame capture driver
[ ] Blackfin BF5xx PPI Driver
== Select I2C support ==
Enable I2C support
Enable I2C device interface
Select I2C Hardware Bus support
Enable Blackfin TWI I2C support
Save and exit menuconfig, don't forget make a new image and reboot BF537 board.
Camera Test Application
The Blackfin PPI supports a number of daughter cards, the PPIFCD being one. However, the PPI Driver will conflict with the PPI Camera frame capture driver if both are enabled. You will see this in the kernel log (i.e., dmesg) when the PPI drivers try to register the same major number for the char device.
Below are some configuration settings for the BF533 and BF537 STAMP boards. To get either of the programs mentioned above built, specify the following:
under Customize Vendor/User Settings
== Select Blackfin test programs ==
Enable PPIFCD test program
== Select Blackfin canned demo ==
Enable CGI based Test Application for the PPI Frame Capture Driver
On BF537-stamp board use command
bf537> ppifcd_test -b 537 picture.bmp
bf537> fcd&
To capture image with connected camera.
Use tftp to upload captured image to PC for preview, tftp command:
tftp -p -r picture.bmp 192.168.0.2
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
