Preliminary Design Review Jan 31, 2006 Brianna Bethel Robert Havlik Jessica Lowry Alex Silva
2
Market and Solution The Market –Sharing pictures requires large, inconvenient photo albums or stationary computers that are not easily accessible The Solution –To create a standalone, portable, easy-to-use system to display pictures without a computer
3
Potential Applications Sharing photos –Nursing homes –Hospitals –Infants in a Baby Crib –Home or Office Presentations Education Map Displays
4
Project’s Functionality Functions similarly to traditional picture frame Capable of displaying still-pictures and pictures in a slideshow format
5
Baseline Objectives Stores and retrieves pictures from SD and Compact Flash cards Displays pictures on color LCD screen Includes user interface Runs on an embedded version of Linux Incorporates CPLD
6
Possible Extensions Incorporate USB to upload and download pictures Control slideshow with a remote control that uses infrared (IR) technology Enable user to zoom in and out of images through a touchscreen interface Increase functionality with a FPGA

Schedule
17
Key Events By CDR –Microcontroller with Linux Loaded –Custom PCB ready for component placement –STN LCD adapter fabricated and built By Milestone 1 –Have first PCB revision tested –Compact Flash working –Display still picture
18
Key Events By Milestone 2 –Second PCB revision tested –Implement user interface –Slideshow mode implemented Capstone Expo –Refine user interface –Demo Project
19
Risks and Contingency Plan Custom PCB –Unfamiliar technology –Alternative: Development Kit New Processor Technology –Sharp Processor is in first silicon revision –Processor has small bugs to work around –Alternative: Use different processor and LCD
20
Risks and Contingency Plan Embedded Linux –Unfamiliar Environment –Alternative: Implement code without operating system GNU Development Environment –Unsupported and not well documented –Alternative: ARM Developer Suite v1.2
