tcDspCameraLink

Introduction

The tcDspCameraLink class is used to provide a MityDSP interface to camera imaging hardware utilizing the LVDS Camera Link protocol.

Typically, a specific camera handler class (e.g., a hamamatsu camera) is derived fromthe tcDspCameraLink in order to provide any custom configuration protocol using the Camera Link asynchronous serial interface for setting up the camera framerate, size, etc.

Example

This is a simple example of tcDspCameraLink interfacing to a QVGA monochrome camera:

 {
     tcDspCameraLink *mpCameraLink;
     short* mpBuffer[240*320];
     MBX_Handle mhLinkMbox = MBX_create(sizeof(tcDspCameraLink::tsFrameDataNotify),10,NULL);
     tcDspCameraLink::tsFrameDataNotify lsFrameData;

     // create tcDspTouchScreen instance
     mpCameraLink = new tcCameraLink((void *)0xB0000280);
     mpCameraLink->SetImageSize(240,320);
     mpCameraLink->SetPack(true);

     // Ask for a frame of data
     printf("Capturing 1 frame of data\n");
     mpCameraLink->CaptureFrames(mpBuffer,
                                 240*320*sizeof(short),
                                 mhLinkMbox,
                                 1,
                                 1);

     int RV = MBX_pend(mhLinkMbox,&lsFrameData,SYS_FOREVER);

     if (RV)
     {
        short* lpFrameData = lsFrameData.mpStart;  // should be the same as mpBuffer in this example

        // process the frame data....
     }
