• Connect the Ethernet Cable to the CDEV-BF5xx Ethernet Socket (1) and your network. The preflashed IP is 192.168.0.10 make sure that it is available on your network.

• Connect the Mini-USB cable to the Serial Port (2) and your Computer
  • Instruction for Driver Installation can be found [here]

• Set the Dipswitch (7) to the correct Bootmode
  • Dipswitch: {{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: 0 | | }}{{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 1 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 0 | {{#ifeq: 0 | 1 | | {{#ifeq: 0 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 1 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 1 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: | 1 | | {{#ifeq: | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{6}}} | 1 | | {{#ifeq: {{{6}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{7}}} | 1 | | {{#ifeq: {{{7}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{8}}} | 1 | | {{#ifeq: {{{8}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{9}}} | 1 | | {{#ifeq: {{{9}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{10}}} | 1 | | {{#ifeq: {{{10}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 0 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 0 | {{#ifeq: 0 | 0 | | {{#ifeq: 0 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 0 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | {{#ifeq: 1 | 0 | | {{#ifeq: 1 | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: | 0 | | {{#ifeq: | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{6}}} | 0 | | {{#ifeq: {{{6}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{7}}} | 0 | | {{#ifeq: {{{7}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{8}}} | 0 | | {{#ifeq: {{{8}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{9}}} | 0 | | {{#ifeq: {{{9}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: | {{#ifeq: {{{10}}} | 0 | | {{#ifeq: {{{10}}} | X | | }} }} | }}{{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: 0 | | }}{{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: 1 | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}{{#if: | | }}

• Plug in your Power Supply (5)

Powering up and Booting

After the CDK is powered up , the green LED (6) is on and you see a text output on the Terminal console.

This is the output of the BLACKSheep Bootloader don't press any key and wait 3 seconds before the Board Support Package is loaded.

After booting is completed you see the eCM-BF561> Prompt and the red LED (4) flashes every 500ms. If you stop autoboot and enter the Bootloader by accident you see a eCM-BF561 boot> prompt. You can press the reset button (4) or enter reboot in the commandline.

Initialize the ISM

You can use the commandline framegrabber interface to initialize your ISM to various resolutions.

NOTE: all commands and device names are case-sensitive!

ISM-MT9P031

eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -svga -int0
Initialize MT9P031...
(MT9P031calcPLL): PLL output clock is 29.96 MHz
Adding Device to framegrabber...
done.
Device Name 'APT1801-0' added.
Adjusting Autoexposure ..............  OK

By using the command fg -init MT9P031 -svga -int0 the camera is configured using SVGA resolution. Other possible resolutions are:

eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -qvga -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -vga -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -svga -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -xga -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -uxga -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -mres -int0

(the -mres switch sets the ISM to the maximum resolution possible)

In order to change to another resolution or initialize the ISM again, the device must be closed first. This can be done by issuing the close command:

eCM-BF561>fg -close
 Close Device 0 and remove it from framegrabber...done.

When using the Initialize the camera with the fg -init commands above the Driver performs an auto-exposure which might take some time. If you want to bypass autoexposure you can provide the shutterwidth directly via the -sw switch.

CM-BF561>fg -init MT9P031 -int0 -svga -sw 200
Initialize MT9P031...
(MT9P031calcPLL): PLL output clock is 29.96 MHz
Adding Device to framegrabber...
done.
Device Name 'APT1801-0' added.

fg -info displays the current resolution and colorspace of a framegrabber device

eCM-BF561>fg -info
 Device 0 Information:
 x: 800
 y: 600
 fr 9.5
 Color Mode: Bayer (GRBG) 12-bit

ISM-MT9M131

The MT9M131 driver currently supports only full resolution (-mres = 1280x1024) and half-resolution (-cres = 640x512)

eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9M131 -cres -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9M131 -mres -int0

ISM-MT9M024

The MT9M024 driver currently supports only full resolution (-mres = 1280x960) and half-resolution (-cres = 640x480)

eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9M024 -cres -int0
eCM-BF561>fg -init MT9M024 -mres -int0

Grab Pictures

For grabbing single images from any of ISMs and viewing them in your browser first change to the browsers root directory

eCM-BF561>cd web

eCM-BF561>ls
Directory of rd0:\web
00.00.1980 00:00 <DIR>           .

You can grab images from the ISM and save them in JPEG or BMP format.

Display images in browser

Point your browser to https://192.168.0.10/image.jpg and https://192.168.0.10/image.bmp to display and save the images in your browser.

you can call fg -getimg -jpg image.jpg or fg -getimg -bmp image.bmp from the comandline severall times to and refresh your browser to get new pictures.

Save images on SDCARD

Instead of the internal Ramdisk which is only 16MB images can be stored on a uSD Card inserted in the slot. The card must be present at startup and is mounted automatically as sd0:. you can check with the pinfo command if the card is present:

eCM-BF561>pinfo
Partition overview:
      NAME  FILESYSTEM  WORKING DIRECTORY
    uart0:       strio  "\"
      rd0:     fullfat  "\web\"
      sd0:     fullfat  "\"

Change to the sdcard:

eCM-BF561>cd sd0:

You can grab images like in sections above, umount the sdcard via the umount command and insert it into you Computer's cardreader.

eCM-BF561>umount sd0:
 Unmount partition...
 Partition found and successfully unmounted.

What's next?

eCM-BF561>help

Gives you a list of available commands. Every command has a -h switch which prints further help text or look at the BLACKSheep®_V1.0.0_Command_Reference
