OV7670 Camera Module with TMS320c6745

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6745, OMAPL138

Hello all, 

             I have my custom board TMS320C6745 with XDS100 USB V1 Emulator. I bought OV7670 Camera module. is their any library or any camera module is available for C6745. or any other camera source is readily available. 

Thanks is Advance

  • Hi Thiyagarajan,

    Please go to the product folder of C6745, www.ti.com/.../TMS320C6745 and click on "tools/software"

    What ever the software available under the column, "software" , download and have a look whether any source available for camera driver.

  • We do have loopback code from composite camera input(J9) to VGA output(J8) for OMAPL138 LCDK board.

    You need to change the code for your camera.

  • Thiyagarajan,

    For what purpose did you build the custom board with the C6745 on it?

    Please review the datasheet for the C6745. You may want to compare it with the datasheet for the C6748 to find important features that are different between the two.

    The C6747 has an LCD display output peripheral, but this is removed for the lower-cost C6745. Neither of these devices have the video port interface (VPIF) peripheral that is included with the C6748.

    The C6745 does not support camera input directly. We will not have any examples to show how to do that since the capability is not there.

    There might be creative ways to connect a camera module to the C6745, but there will not be any library or camera module available. But since your custom board was not designed with a camera module in mind, it is unlikely you will be able to implement any workable camera interface.

    Regards,
    RandyP
  • Hi Thiyagarajan,
    Sorry I didn't check the C6745 data sheet, I thought it would support VPIF for C6745 too.
    Still you can interface camera via USB interface but as Randy said, we don't have any library or example for that.
