Hi @peepo Many times you have to buy the bare sensors and design a custom pcb. Many of the popular sensors are avaialble on ebay, but it doesnot appear that this one is. Also, sometime the vendor will have a development module, but you would h…

Hi @peepo The public registration is disabled as we were getting huge amounts of spam. I can manually register you. Would you prefer the same username as is used here: "peepo" ? We would be greatly appreciate any help in keeping this up t…

We are currently looking into some GTP options which would offer PCIe. Indeed this would enable many types of high bandwidth interfaces such as the suggested GPU, though we have not looked specifically at the GPU usage. Cheers!

Hi Jay! Very good question. Not sure how much we can say, but we sure do have some design coming down the pike. I am not sure that we will do a kickstarter as we are now working closely with E14, who we may well likely release them through. …

Hi @mhdanas Sure you could use both SPI ports, but you would need to create a timing sync between the 2 signals which could be a bit tricky. Based on this udoo page the Arduino port does not connect directly to the I.MX processor, but to an…

Hi @SquareOne Very interesting. It is not clear to me how that any of the machine vision algorithms run on anything other than a CPU though? How would this run on an FPGA?

Hi @petrace Glad you are jumping into HDL and FPGAs. Sorry you had to get this far to find out that Vivado does not support spartan 6 FPGAs. Here is the download link to ISE wepack for the Spartan 6 FPGAs. http://www.xilinx.com/support/…

Hi @mhdanas, The are not designed specifically for the UDOO board, but there are a number of ways that you could get it to work. I have not looked the communcation options that the I.MX6 has: SPI, GPMC as is on the Pi or bone? SPI woul…

Hi @hzk17 Congrats on making to your final year of EE - that is certainly where the fun starts to happen! Jonathan Piat can give you much better infromation that I as he has a great deal of machine vision experience, but he is out of town u…

@lewismjx I know that there are some very expensive options from xilinx and altera, such as HLS for xilinx. http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/vivado/integration/esl-design.html For low cost options you could look at myHDL or migen.…

I would also add that if you have not already. You should start with the quick start guide to get up and running with the Rpi and the LOGI image. http://valentfx.com/wiki/index.php?title=Logi-Pi_Quick_Start_Guide There is also a guide to get Xil…

Hi @m1010, Probably the best place to get started is with the "logi-wishbone" project that is in the logi-projects repository on github: https://github.com/fpga-logi/logi-projects You can run the "wishbone" project which is part of the logi-ap…

Added. Thanks!

Hi There, Good point in adding a direct link. I will add to the top menu. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hi Cybin, Maybe some combination depending on your needs might be cloud(dropbox or other), samba to run your remote BBB files on your PC and git? Most projects that I have worked on have been pretty simplistic, so GCC command line and git and…

@cybin "and now finally getting back to the back yard and digging up my bones, only to discover that they had changed," I hate when my bones change on me. Pesky neighbor dogs I'm sure.

Hi There, I will post the LVDS design in the logi-boards repository on github shortly.
-
@Iceage Ahh, indeed parallel LVDS. Interesting that that the parallel devices cannot support serial. I did some more scrubbing to see if I could find any lower cost serial LVDS. The LTC2264CUJ-12#PBF is the lowest cost serial LVDS device I coul…
-
Hi @chuck_c I see. It sounds like in the end you will want to integrate all of your circuitry onto a single expansion board for the bone in the end? What I can do is focus on getting a prototyped high speed ADC peripheral that you could pr…
-
Hi @chuck_c , That is a very expensive part ($46-63@1). What exactly are you looking for from this part? Sampling rate, variable gain, differential input, LVDS or all of the above. What kind of sensor would you be sampling? It may be cheaper t…
-
Hi @chuck_c , @Iceage does this chip work for you as well? Yes, very feasible, though on the Rpi you would not be able to stream the data as the SPI port would not be able to keep up with ADC data (at 40MSPS). But you could set up a buffer us…
-
Hi Andy. So parallel it is. The main issue on the current design is that we ran out of pins and the arduino shield took the brunt of hit on this. We worked the design trying to scrape up as many IO as we possible could, which meant that we …
-
@meg768 Congrats on getting it running. Indeed, I was blown away by the vibrance of the colors that are not apparent from watching it on video. Speaking of pixel pusher, Glen has given me his code to run this on the 96x64 panel. I will check …
-
Let me know if you need me to do any testing on my end? I havn't run the demo for some time, but can get it back up and running as needed. Also, working got a 2x3 panel array up and running by designing a low cost acrylic frame based upon glen…
-
Hi Andy, Sounds like a cool project. Maybe we can help with designing a PMOD compatible PCB based upon a good looking ADC. It would be nice find a a good general high bandwidth ADC that would work for many applications, not just your RF applicati…
-
Hi, If you want to use your own distribution, you will likely need to create/port the LOGI drivers to this distribution. We currently have drivers that support debian and ubuntu. @jpiat has a new debian image that he can share a link. I do…
-
@saydo I assume you are referring to the glen akins demos? If this is the case he is using his own GPMC driver to communicate with the bone/fpga. I have the demo running on my bone no problem, so I can do some debugging to see what the issue migh…
-
@mtourne Sorry about the trouble. It sounds like a bunk camera, unless you can see any unsoldered pins on the connectors. Also, I assume that you you are connecting the camera as shown in the quick start guide: http://valentfx.com/wiki/index.php?…
-
HI Ize. Yes that is the version I am using. Maybe @jpiat can comment on why mine is working this way and yours is not. Or if there is further testing I can do help you figure out what the difference is.
