1 Introduction
The SBC kits (Single-Board-Computer) from PHYTEC represent an ideal basis for testing and the first design steps with phyCAM camera modules. The kit forms the
starting point for your development project. The kit can be used to develop and test application software before your own adapted hardware is available. It is also an
optimal platform for testing special hardware extensions before you create a complex application board.
This optional step secures your design and at the same time provides software development with an opportunity to adapt newly added hardware components.
Extensions can be easily connected via the extension interfaces of the baseboards included in the kit. In the simplest case, a freely wired hole grid structure is
sufficient.
For certain combinations of controller modules, camera modules, and lenses, we offer ready-made kits. If the combination you require is not available, we
recommend that you first put a similarly-equipped kit into operation and then connect the camera you require to the kit.
We will be happy to advise you on the best way to carry out your project.
2 SBC Kit Start-Up
Before you try out the camera and image processing functions, we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the basic functions of the kit and the associated
development environment. Each kit contains a Quick Start Guide that guides you through installing the software on your development PC and configuring the
hardware.
2.1 Connecting and Starting the Camera
Note: Depending on the kernel version, the software installation may differ in some details from the described procedure.
When you purchase an SBC kit, you will receive the PHYTEC guarantee. If you encounter any difficulties during installation, PHYTEC support will help you!
Before You Start
The following components are required for the camera setup:
• PHYTEC SBC-Kit with power supply and serial connection (RS232 or USB)
• Camera module, with camera cable, lens holder, and lens
