This project was developed by Flavio Ribeiro as at the University of São Paulo‘s Polytechnic School of Engineering. It uses ARM9 (AT91RM9200) microcontroller running at 190MHz speed.
Board specifications are:
-
180 MHz ARM9 processor (Atmel AT91RM9200);
-
3 MPixel Micron MT9T001 CMOS sensor;
-
Altera Cyclone FPGA with 6000 LEs;
-
2×32 MBytes of SDRAM (32MB for the ARM9 and 32MB for the FPGA)
-
16 Mbits of serial flash
-
1 10/100 Intel Ethernet interface
-
1 high speed USB 2.0 interface
-
1 SPI interface
- 1 serial (RS-232) interface
Board runs ARM Debian Linux from USB key-drive. CMOS sensor is accessed by FPGA. It reads image frames that can be processed further by FPGA or ARM9 microcontroller. It seems quite challenging project to play with.
