Hello,
for our new project, I'am trying to get a thermal imager to work with the LeopardBoard and RidgeRun SDK. The imager is interfaced over the ISIF (greyscale, 14 Bit or greyscale 8 bit) and UART. I already managed to configrue the imager from an application. I even can measure the signals at the ISIF. They look perfectly fine. Now the next step is to capture one frame and save it somewhere. And here the confusion begins.
I am searching for the most elegant and easy way to capture one single frame (nothing else needed). Developing a new driver seems to be a very complicated and time-intensive task. I can not realy use the drivers deleivered with the SDK, because my sensor needs UART instead of I2C. Is it mandatory to write a V4L2 compatible driver? Maybe there is a way to read the signals directly from my application?
I am quite new to the embedded linux domain, so I would very much appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Where should I start? Thanks.
