Get test image

Hello Community,

I'm very new to that thematic and I hope that you can give me some hints.

For an application I designed a PCB that can interface a camera. The camera sends bayer12, so i my IPU can only save the data without any converting. I use the parallel 16-bit-Port.

For the first step i only want to know if my hardware is designed in a right way, so I want to see a picture.  I think the data in memory represents a black-white-picture, doesn't it?
What do I have to do to get such a picture in a format like bitmap or png?

Thanks for Help!

Q. I think the data in memory represents a black-white-picture, doesn't it?

A. Typically, the Bayer format contains the grayscale data.

Q. What do I have to do to get such a picture in a format like bitmap or png?

A. There is no ready to use solution to convert the captured CSI frame to a file. Try to set up a camera preview via gstreamer software as described in the Chapter 7 "Multimedia" of the attached document.

Have a great day,
Artur
