1. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 1 Presentation The intelligent camera and Image processing sensor

2. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 2 What is it? Intelligent camera - as sharp seeing as a lynx Main target is not to generate pictures The goal is to analyse the image The mvBlueLYNX series include area and line scan cameras with different resolutions

3. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 3 Interfaces 8 digital inputs 8 digital outputs + video output + 12..24V Ethernet 10/100 MBit RS232 F-mount, C-mount or integr. Optic Lighting VGA USB Status LEDs

4. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 4 The inside  Sensor board  Main board  Interfaces board Mainboard InterfaceSensor

5. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 5 Main board  Preprocessing in FPGA  DMA Transfer into RAM  Transfer to configurable destinations  32/64 MB of main memory  36 MB Flash for operating system and applications  100/200/400 MHz PowerPC Interface Sensor Mainboard Flash PCI RAM PPC NB FPGA

6. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 6 Interfaces  10/100 MBit Ethernet  Serial interface  USB on mvBL-6xx  8 digital inputs and outputs  VGA Output No CPU load because of display operations Interface Sensor Mainboard FPGA VGAI/O

7. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 7 Sensor board  Configurable sensor management thru FPGA  Line scan Sensor sizes: Lines: 512, 1024, 2048 pixels  2D sensor sizes: CCD 640 x 480 CCD 1024x768 CCD 1600x1200 CMOS 640 x 480 CMOS 1280 x1024 each also in color Interface Sensor Mainboard Sensor FPGA

8. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 8 Feature Comparison

9. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 9 Lighting devices 12 LED‘s white, red, green Lens mounting Easy connection Flash Control from mvBlueLYNX Power supply from mvBlueLYNX

10. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 10 System Software Why Embedded Linux? Standard operating system Modular and configurable Kernel. Excellent network features. Proven long-term reliability. Open source no license costs, no proprietary "standards". "Real-Time" Linux available. Large, easily-available knowledge base.

11. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 11 System Software Linux in practice... Boot from the network. File system on a server. Boot everything from FLASH. Webserver on mvBlueLYNX. Multiple logins via serial and/or telnet. Choice of filesystems Journaling (JFFS)‏ Compressed (CRAMFS, JFFS2)‏

12. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 12 FLASH Usage PPCBoot Linux Kernel Root Filesystem User FLASH 128 kB Read only 512 kB Read only 3.5 MB Read only CRAMFS 32 MB Read / write JFFS2

13. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 13 Programming Hosts Hosts for developing applications... Power MAC + Linux GNU native compiler. x86 + Linux GNU Cross-compiler. x86 + Windows ® Cygwin (POSIX API) GNU Cross-compiler.

14. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 14 Programming Similarly as with a PC system with frame grabber With library for the camera and acquisition control Differences: Linux instead of Windows Program is executed on mvBlueLYNX and not on the PC

15. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 15 Programming Setup network on a server GNU C/C++ Cross-Compiler for Linux or Windows Development with well-known IDE (i.e. MS-VisualStudio) Telnet Console over network Access the server from mvBlueLYNX Start program from server When ready: Copy into Flash Setup Autostart

16. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 16 Libraries Recompile your own SW for PowerPC Use any LINUX open source library Use mvIMPACT – The vision library with optimised functions

17. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 17 GUI and Image output Output on standard VGA monitor Graphical User Interface with PicoGUI Output of images, events and parameter Graphical control elements Control with mouse or touch- screen

18. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 18 Configuration VNC-Server Program GUI only on mvBlueLYNX, local and remote configuration is the same Access over PDA, Laptop or Server Direct access over touch- screen or mouse Webserver GUI on mvBlueLYNX is not needed

19. 02/2008 MATRIX VISION GmbH 19 mvBlueLYNX-M mvBlueLYNX as single board version Additional features: 128 MB DDR RAM Power supply: 12..24V DC, 6 W + sensor 2 serial interfaces, 2 USB, CF storage interface IDE interface available (2.5” harddisk)‏ Permissible ambient temperature: 0..40°C
