MT9D112 with DLP Lightcrafter DM365 Development kit

Hi,

I have started on a project with the Lightcrafter, and am relatively new with its development. I would like to enquire if it is possible to use a MT9D112 Sensor Module with the DLP DM365 Lightcrafter Development kit. Can I modify the existing firmware to support this sensor module?

I have managed to connect a MT9V113 sensor module and have it working, but as I would like to use a higher resolution camera, would like to know if its possible. 

Thanks!

    Hello Daryl,

    Sure, we can help you on this topic.

    Could you let us know which software version you have used for testing MT9V113 sensor module?

    From TI side right now we offer two flavors of Linux Kernel for LightCraftter DM365 board.

    1. TI DVSDK based - As described in UG http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/dlpu006c/dlpu006c.pdf section 3.3 Developing with the TI DVSDK . In this version of Linux we NOT  enabled or experimented with a camera module including MT9V113. So user need to modify the Kernel and driver to enable the camera module working all the code is exposed.

    2. TI PSP based - All the DM365 firmware released here http://www.ti.com/tool/dlplightcrafter in the package DLP LightCrafter Firmware and Software Bundle - Linux contain this version of the Kernel. This one has camera modules enabled. But unlike #1 above the delta changes to the Kernel, U-boot, and SD boot codes not made available.

    Hi Sanjeev,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Currently I have tested the MT9V113 module with DM365 Ver 5.0 from the DLP Lightcrafter Firmware and Software Bundle. The MT9D112 does not work.

    So from what I understand, I would need to modify the DVSDK kernel and driver to add support for the MT9D112?

    Regards

    Hello Daryl,

    The DM365 v5.0 firmware has support for - MT9V113, MT9M112, MT9P031 sensor only.

    Short answer YES. If you would like to develop a solution with MT9D112 sensor than our suggestion to would be to start with DVSDK. Enable the camera module.

    Also please look at the LightCrafter SystemBoard PCB schematics [Camera Interface] - on the LightCrafter hardware only MSB 10-bits of 12-bit camera data bus are going into the DM365 from the camera port.

    Regards,
