[Elphel-support] Fwd: driving any desired sensor

[Elphel Support]

Ali,



Yes, sure you can change ROI and increase the frame rate to the maximum the sensor itself supports for it. Depending on the specifics of the particular sensor, they have virtual "margins" (horizontal and vertical) that you have to add when calculating the maximal frame rate. Sensor datasheets provide these values, and for supported sensors they are included in the drivers in the camera.

Dear All  

Is there an ROI setting in the " NC393-F-CS " product? And does changing  Region Of Interest increase the frame rate?Thank you for your help

Hello Ali,



On Semiconductor purchased most of the other US sensor manufacturers. That particular MT9M001 you mention (as well as MT9P006 we use in most applications) was first produced by Micron ("MT" means "Micron Technology"), then it was Aptina, and finally On Semiconductor. They even own Kodak CCDs now - completely different technology.



Support of a new sensor requires 3 parts:

1) Physical PCB for the sensor - most sensors have different pinouts and interface requirements

2) FPGA design that supports the interface

3) Kernel driver to support the sensor operation.



As all the 3 listed parts are free software/open hardware at Elphel, it is possible to perform development w/out us and there is an example when engineers from Lithuania interfaced high-speed CMOSIS sensor themselves. So it is doable, though not very simple. We will definitely provide help and answer questions that we are able to, but the development itself is yours.



We do not have ready to use solution for the VITA200.

Dear All

I recently read about your products. I want to know:

1. Does 10393 support VITA200- https://www.onsemi.com/products/sensors/image-sensors-processors/image-sensors/vita2000,
and MT9M001-https://www.onsemi.com/products/sensors/image-sensors-processors/image-sensors/mt9m001,
sensors manufactured by ON Semiconductor company?

2. Are the support sensors limited to the few sensors
introduced on your sales site or can any desired sensor be drive with 10393?

3. If the answer to question 2 is yes, what are the
requirements for driving any desired sensor? (I guess e. g. PCB design for
sensor packaging and Verilog code modification, etc.)

Thank you for your help

Ali
