[Elphel-support] Fwd: NC353L net boot procedure

[Khashayar Azad]

Hi Andrey,

There're two device files in the 333 camera that are not in the 353 camera
which my apps need to run...
/dev/ccam_dma.raw
/dev/hist

Is there an equivalent to these ones in the 353 camera?

Also there are various stuff, see below, from the 333 camera that were not
in the 353 camera which is needed to compile my apps. Are any of these
referring to the camera hardware? If yes where have they gone?

#define P_LPR            6 /* RD P_RO_LPR    3  32-bit words per row
(aligned each row)  */
#define P_IMAGE_SIZE     7 /* RD P_RO_SIZE   4  total image size (dma data)
in bytes     */
#define P_GAMMA         60 // 100*gamma  (for now - just a hint table could
be more complex. Use higher bytes for colors in 333)
#define P_PIXEL_LOW     61 //  (just a hint for gamma table) "fat zero" (on
8-bit scale)
#define P_PIXEL_HIGH    62 //  (just a hint for gamma table) highest pixel
value (before table) on a 256-scale
#define P_VIDEO         22 /* still (stopped) - 0, video - 1. KAC1310 -
video only */
#define P_AUXCM         23 /* signal on AUXCLK pin: 0 - 0, 1 - 1, 1x -
20MHz */
#define P_MCLK          38 /* 2..129 */
#define P_SPEC_KAC_GGA  51 // KAC-1310 Global gain A , 6 bits, (14)
#define P_SPEC_KAC_GGB  52 // KAC-1310 Global gain B , 6 bits, (14)
#define P_SPEC_KAC_GGM  53 // KAC-1310 Global gain mode, 3 bits, 0
#define P_FP100S        55 // Frames per 100 sec (fps * 100)
#define P_DONTCARE      63 // write anything - just to force update
#define P_UPDATE         0          /* R/W, see above */
