When working with IPU applications, sometimes image format converter is needed to check images generated by IPU that are not readable by PC (e.g. RGB565, common i.MX framebuffer format -> png or jpg) or generate a RGB picture from an encoded file to be read by IPU (e.g. png -> RGB565 framebuffer). There are some useful tools on Linux and some also available on Windows that can perform these conversions. I listed 5 tools with some usage examples below. IMAGEMAGICK // Display a 800x600 rgb image display -size 800x600 -depth 8 rgb:output.rgb // Show information of output.rgb identify -size 1296x972 -depth 8 output.rgb // Convert a 640x480 grayscale raw rgb file to png convert -size 640x480 -depth 8 imagefile.rgb image.png // To list all available color formats identify -list format For more information about Imagemagick and its format support. access: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php FFMPEG // List available formats for ffmpeg ffmpeg -pix_fmts // Convert raw rgb565 image to png ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 1024x768 -i freescale_1024x768.raw -f image2 -vcodec png screen.png // Convert png to raw rgb565 ffmpeg -vcodec png -i image.png -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 image.raw // Convert a 720x480 NV12 (YUV 420 semi-planar) image to png ffmpeg -s 720x480 -pix_fmt nv12 -i image-nv12.yuv -f image2 -pix_fmt rgb24 image-png.png // Convert a 640x480 uyvy422 image to png ffmpeg -s 640x480 -pix_fmt uyvy422 -i image-uyvy422.yuv -f image2 -pix_fmt rgb24 image-uyvy422.png MENCODER http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/encoding-guide.html TRANSCODING http://www.transcoding.org/cgi-bin/transcode?Examples GRAPHICSMAGICK http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

The customer would like to test BT.656 using Test mode. Is it supported? 38.4.3.3 Test mode in RM shows only one CSIx_SENS_CONG setting. Does it mean Test mode support only one as follows? Does Test mode support other settings? CSIx_EXT_VSYNC = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_WIDTH = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT = 0x0 CSIx_PACK_TIGHT = 0x0 CSIx_SENS_PRTCL = 0x1 CSIx_SENS_PIX_CLK_POL = 0x1 CSIx_DATA_POL = 0x0 CSIx_HSYNC_POL = 0x0 CSIx_VSYNC_POL = 0x0 For example, customer want to know if Test mode support  CSIx_SENS_PRTCL=0x2or 0x3 instead of 0x1? customer want to know if Test mode support CSIx_SENS_DATA_FORMAT=0x1or 0x2 instead of 0x0? Answer: CSI CM TEST MODE is working as below: 1,only ungated mode. 2,data width should be configured to 8 3,data format should be configured to rgb888 It cannot be other format such as bt656. It uses CSI1_TST_CTRL register to configure {R,G,B} 24 bit value and taking it as RGB888/YUV444 format for further process.  The generated image size is due to the configured width & height in the registers.

Configuring RedBoot The Redboot configuration is made using a Minicom session that need to be established between host and target through serial port. To have an operational system been executed just on the power on, configure the right for Boot script. The chooses are shown in #Boot Script section. To avoid the start of operational system, power on the board and press CTRL-C immediately. Wait until RedBoot> prompt appears. Overview The main command for beginners is fconfig -l that can be abbreviated as fc -l This command shows the actual configuration of Redboot, like: RedBoot> fc -l Run script at boot: true Boot script: .. load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage .. exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/n" Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false RedBoot> Run script at boot: set true for booting with a script or false to always enter on prompt directly Boot script: define what commands to execute as script at the startup Boot script timeout: how many time to wait before execute boot script Use BOOTP for network configuration: set true for getting configuration from BOOTP or false for manually configuring gateway and IP address Gateway IP address: The IP address of the gateway Local IP address: The board IP address Local IP address mask: The board IP mask address Default server IP address: The host IP address when NFS and TFTP server are running Configuring Network Execute the command to configure network parameters: RedBoot> fc This step guarantee the possibilities to load images from some server previously connected and configured. For Use BOOTP for network configuration: answer false. For Gateway IP address: type the gateway IP address of your network; For Local IP address: type an IP address to your board, it needs to be a valid IP in your network; For Local IP address mask: type the IP mask address; For Default server IP address: type the IP of your host server where are running TFTP and NFS. Pay special attencion for Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)?. Answer y to have your configuration saved in the flash. To verify if your configuration is working use ping, be patient this command is very slow: RedBoot> ping -h 10.29.244.99 Network PING - from 10.29.241.6 to 10.29.244.99 PING - received 10 of 10 expected Use the "-n" option to change the number of pings and the "-r" option to speed things up, such as: ping -n 3 -h 10.29.244.99 -r 10. The boot script configuration is done in the next section. Boot Script NFS Boot In NFS Boot mode, a kernel image and a root file system image are loaded from a configured server through TFTP and NFS that can be executed doing the development more easy. To configure RedBoot for NFS Boot reset the board and press CTRL-C immediately. In a Minicom session type fc to modify the configuration boot. Enter the script boot below RedBoot> fc Run script at boot: true Boot script: Enter script, terminate with empty line >> load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage >>> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0x200000 -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.29.244.99:/tftpboot/rootfs init=/linuxrc ip=10.29.241.6:10.29.244.99" >> Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 1 Use BOOTP for network configuration: false Gateway IP address: 10.29.241.254 Local IP address: 10.29.241.6 Local IP address mask: 255.255.254.0 Default server IP address: 10.29.244.99 Board specifics: 0 Console baud rate: 115200 Set eth0 network hardware address [MAC]: false GDB connection port: 9000 Force console for special debug messages: false Network debug at boot time: false Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y ...

The first line load the kernel image (zImage) by TFTP from /tftpboot, the directory configured in TFTP.\ The second line executes the kernel and mount the root file system using NFS. The path /tftpboot/ltib indicates the path that should be exported in the host machine. (It's the path in the /etc/exports) 10.29.244.99 is the host IP address 10.29.241.6 is the target IP address Flash Boot For flash boot the Boot Script differs a little bit: fis init kernel exec -c "noinitrd console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock8 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=none" The value for root can be different for each board type.

OpenCV is a computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under the open source BSD license. The library is cross-platform. It focuses mainly on real-time image processing; as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. Application OpenCV's application areas include: * 2D and 3D feature toolkits * Egomotion estimation * Face Recognition * Gesture Recognition * Human-Computer Interface (HCI) * Mobile robotics * Motion Understanding * Object Identification * Segmentation and Recognition * Stereopsis Stereo vision: depth perception from 2 cameras * Structure from motion (SFM) * Motion Tracking To support some of the above areas, OpenCV includes a statistical machine learning library that contains: * Boosting * Decision Trees * Expectation Maximization * k-nearest neighbor algorithm * Naive Bayes classifier * Artificial neural networks * Random forest * Support Vector Machine Installing OpenCV on i.MX 51 EVK Board running Ubuntu Linux Assuming that you already have the Ubuntu Linux running on your board, you can use this wiki page to guide you to get your USB camera running on your system in order to use real time image processing features of this library. In a brand new installation of Ubuntu some libraries is not installed by default, so you need to install them by your own hands (use synaptic to do that), here is the list of these libraries: libgtk2.0-dev libjpeg62-dev zlib1g-dev libpng12-dev libtiff4-dev libjasper-dev libgst-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev If you already have some of those libraries installed, make sure that is the DEV version. After installing those libraries you can download the stable OpenCV version here. Install it following the procedure below: 1 - untar the opencv package tar -xvzf opencv-1.1pre1.tar.gz  2 - change to OpenCV folder cd opencv-1.1.0  3 - configure the installation enabling gstreamer and letting to compile demo apps later ./configure --with-gstreamer --disable-apps You will get the following results: General configuration ================================================       Compiler:                         g++       CXXFLAGS:       DEF_CXXFLAGS:             -Wall -fno-rtti -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer       PY_CXXFLAGS:               -Wall -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer       OCT_CXXFLAGS:             -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer        Install path:                      /usr/local  HighGUI configuration ================================================       Windowing system --------------       Use Carbon / Mac OS X:        no       Use gtk+ 2.x:                        yes       Use gthread:                         yes       Image I/O ---------------------       Use ImageIO / Mac OS X:       no       Use libjpeg:                            yes       Use zlib:                                yes       Use libpng:                             yes       Use libtiff:                               yes       Use libjasper:                          yes       Use libIlmImf:                          no             Video I/O ---------------------       Use QuickTime / Mac OS X:     no       Use xine:                                no       Use gstreamer:                        yes       Use ffmpeg:                             no       Use dc1394 & raw1394:     no       Use v4l:                                   yes       Use v4l2:                                 yes       Use unicap:                             no     Wrappers for other languages =========================================       SWIG Python                          no       Octave                                    no       Additional build settings ============================================       Build demo apps                      no Now run make ... 4 - Build OpenCV ./make 5 - Install OpenCV ./sudo make install if all steps above were executed properly, now you can compile the sample applications: 1 - change to samples/c directory cd samples/c 2 - change the build_all script mode to +x chmod +x build_all.sh 3 - run the script ./build_all.sh Now you can test. The results below were taken from the Laplacian filter sample processing in real-time images grabbed from an USB camera: Laplacian filter with USB Camera capture device Also, you can see how is it performance on a 3 windowed application performing color conversion and canny edge detection at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9yQgdABT7c EOF !

Freescale's PF0100 PMIC should have VDDIO power tied to the same supply as the associated I2C supply on MX6. There is a momentary on-chip sneak path on power-up if VDDIO is wired per the i.MX6 SABRE-AI automotive development platform. As a result, I2C power rail P3V3_DELAYED rises prematurely due to backfeed from P3V3 through the I2C port. Note that on SABRE-AI, P3V3 powers up before P3V3_DELAYED. Existing SABRE-AI design: PF0100 VDDIO is wired to P3V3. Corrective action for mass production: Wire PF0100 VDDIO to P3V3_DELAYED; same supply as the associated I2C supplies on MX6 (NVCC_EIM0 and NVCC_GPIO). Laboratory results attached.

The default video mode is as follows: /* 1080p @ 56 Hz */ 60, 1920, 1080, 7692, 100, 40, 30, 3, 10, 2, 0, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, 0 The user can modify this default setting for their case. Specially, there are some risks to use 1080p@60 video mode for imx6qp-sabresd. The hdmi device will has no valid hdmi signal output in this case. For example, /* 1080p @ 60 Hz */ 60, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 88, 36, 4, 44, 4, FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, 0 The user sholud set these values according to hareware parameters.
