Testing the Himax Camera

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 4.8.0.2, which at the moment of writing was the newest we had a docker container for.

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 directly running the code from L2 (second level internal memory) 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 bitcraze/aideck:4.8.0.2 /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'
