Oh, I got it. It's not implemented. Actually it is possible to do in fpga -
this will need:
1. buffering both frames in 10359's SDRAM
2. reading them line by line and sending the resulting line to the 10353
3. some changes in camvc for it know that there is 10359 and what frame size
should be written to the sensors.
Unfortunately, I can't help with 3 but I can make make 1 & 2 and to avoid
dealing with 3 halves (left from the 1st sensor and the right one from the
2nd) of initial frames can be taken.
The delay from sensor to 353 will be bigger. Anyway I'll talk to Andrey.
2. I tried the x359.bit and the 10359_controls.html" and

Did you try it in external triggered mode?
1. correct each channel's phase
2. go to parsedit.php and switch triggering
3. then switch this mode
and I have it working, but with slight differences between test images -
this must be the wrong phase of the SDRAM clock - I need to add adjusting
its phase.
Could you try "Sensor test mode ON/OFF" in this mode and send me the
results?
Stereo Mode: does nothing, shows always the frames from sensor 1 (what

I've sent you a cut version - it should do nothing. I can send you the
"full" bitstream or you can get it from cvs:
http://elphel.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/elphel/fpga/
In this mode lines from both of the frames are taken then they are 'cut'
into 256 pixel lines with 128 pixel overlapping and for the 'left' and the
'right' sample a correlation function is calculated and the maximum of this
function is found to get a shift between these samples - and with the known
sensors position it aumatically gives the distance. The 'depth frame' is on
the output. But I'm still testing it.
Can I somehow detect from which sensor the picture was taken? Is that

Only visually. You can switch between the sensors(or channels in controls
page) before entering any mode - they are 1,2,4. 7 is used for broadcast to
program all of them at the same time. And "1,2,4" are for individual
programming - thus you can toggle test mode on the 2nd channel after
adjusting the phases and then switch to the alternation mode.
