Individualization - the key to successful Products

Besides image acquisition there are usually additional requirements for an embedded solution. Typically features such as motor control systems, GPS, Audio, CAN or I/O-lines are required. Furthermore we need to customize the hardware to mechanical dimensions. With the concept of a SOM and an application specific carrier board we are able to meet these requirements. The graphic below shows that the development workflow of a customized system can be broken down into six easily manageable steps. This potential for individualization is the key component of your concept. It is the distinguishing factor in matters of standard, ready-made components.

Interfaces to your Software

The phyCAM concept already offers support for application software at the operating system level. The necessary drivers for camera sensors and the controller camera interface are integrated in our BSPs. For example for Embedded Linux the V4L2-Interface standard is used.

The phyCAM line offers easy integration of camera sensors into embedded microprocessor systems with two interface options:

1. phyCAM-P standard provides a parallel interface. It is the most cost effective way to integrate a camera. Data and control signals are transmitted via a 33-pin FFC cable. This reduces the interface effort to a minimum, while offering compatibility with other camera types. phyCAM-P cameras are fully compatible with phyCORE® SOMs.
   
   
2. phyCAM-S interface offers even more flexibility. Its connector cable needs only eight leads, and can have a length of up to six meters (20 ft) to allow for more separation between the camera head and the control device. Various phyCARD® and phyFLEX® SOMs are compatible with the phyCAM-S.
