Driverless mode 393

Description

Instructions on how to disable sensor driver and get images from image sensor (for MT9F002 sensor)

Instructions

pre (editing files on the boot SD card)

• Remove 10389 board if installed (otherwise will have to rewrite eeprom)
• To load bitstream for MT9F002 appropriate changes need to be made to:
  • device tree

set sensors to mt9f002 in elphel393-detect_sensors,sensors entry

• • /etc/elphel393/default_10389.xml for setup w/o 10389 or 10389's eeprom otherwise write MT9F002 as application

Application name must be already added to /usr/local/autocampars.php

• Disable driver

root@elphel393~# touch /etc/elphel393/disable_driver
# then reboot

init

• start python session:

root@elphel393~# cd /usr/local/verilog/; test_mcntrl.py @hargs-after

• init (if the driver is not disabled the i2c writes will not work):

Example: other window sizes

• Download and run mt9f002_window_generator.py
• Then edit the code snippets for 1600x1200 according to the new window size
• If getting raw sensor data 8-bit and 16-bit the membridge buffer is 4MB, so calculate accordingly:

for 8-bit : WxH < 4M
for 16-bit: WxH < 2M
If not then - the buffer is circular which will result in overwriting of the beginning of the image
