Testing the Himax camera on the AIdeck

This concerns the example in folder AIdeck_examples/GAP8/test_functionalities/test_camera/. This was tested on GAP_SDK version 3.8.1.

In the makefile enable APP_CFLAGS += -DASYNC_CAPTURE if you want to test the asynchronous camera capture and remove it if you want to test the normal one. To save a color image enable APP_CFLAGS += -DCOLOR_IMAGE. And, to capture a 324x324 image enable APP_CFLAGS += -DQVGA_MODE. Please note though that capturing an image in non-QVGA mode might not always work correctly.

To test out the code, first, source the AIdeck config (configs/ai_deck.sh) in your terminal and write

make clean all run io=host

for onram flashing with your programmer.

Run in Docker

To build and execute in the docker we need to place the demosaicking-files in the common-folder inside the docker.

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/module/data/ --device /dev/ttyUSB0 --privileged -P gapsdk:3.7 /bin/bash -c 'export GAPY_OPENOCD_CABLE=interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg; source /gap_sdk/configs/ai_deck.sh; cd /module/data/;  make clean all run'
