Start developing your project with a PHYTEC Embedded Imaging Kit for VC MIPI® modules.
The kits contain all the necessary components for an embedded system with integrated image processing. Simply combine the kit with the appropriate camera to quickly and effectively create your customized image processing solution.
The development kits contain the appropriate software drivers for addressing the camera boards from your own applications. Access to the camera driver under Linux is via V4L2. This allows a variety of middleware applications, such as GStreamer, OpenCV, and HALCON, or the application itself to access the cameras directly via a widely used standard interface.
The kit includes a suitable adapter and all the accessories needed to start the evaluation immediately. A ready-made Linux image with pre-installed camera drivers is included on the included SD card.
Your advantage: The kits contain series-ready and proven hardware, so you can work directly with the hardware that you can use in your product.
Benefit from the partnership between Phytec and Vision Components to advance your project quickly and successfully.
Better integrated - faster in series
With these kits, you can develop with exactly the components that will later be used in your production device. This makes the transition to series production particularly easy and reliable.
Take advantage of our support, our included reference circuit diagrams, and our preliminary work for your designs. Or simply let PHYTEC develop your customized system from scratch.
