Parallel Camera Interface for Sitara Processors

Description

This camera interface design connects to a 10-bit parallel interface to the AM335x general purpose memory controller (GPMC) 16-bit multiplexed address/data bus. This design consumes roughly 150mW less power than typical USB solutions: and is ideal for applications like portable data terminals: ruggedized handhelds: portable consumer: industrial handhelds and others. The reference design is based on the QuickLogic 3.1 MP Camera Sensor (using an Aptina 3.1 MP sensor) connected to a camera expansion board. Together: they connect to the BeagleBone platform. The BeagleBone and the QuickLogic 3.1 MP camera add-on board are available for purchase.More information on QuickLogic: http://www.quicklogic.comMore information about BeagleBone: http://www.ti.com/tool/beaglebnMore information about the QuickLogic 3.1 MP camera add-on board for the BeagleBone: including design files and software: http://www.quicklogic.com/solutions/reference-designs/ti-sitara-beaglebone-camera-cape/
