Description:
The Embedded Imaging Kit contains all components of an embedded system with integrated image processing. In this way you can quickly and effectively create your individual image processing solution based on the NXP i.MX 8M processor. The i.MX 8M has 4 ARM Cortex-A53 cores and a GC7000 Lite GPU. The two independent MIPI CSI-2 inputs are brought out on the kit base board as standardized phyCAM-M interfaces.
The kit is based on the series-compatible components phyCORE i.MX 8M and phyCAM VM-016-M camera module. You develop with exactly the components that will later be used in your series device. This makes the transfer to series production particularly easy and safe.
The board can be operated with 12-24 V and, in addition to other interfaces, has a Gigabit Ethernet and a USB 3.0 interface as well as integrated WLAN and Bluetooth functionality. The phyCORE i.MX 8M module is soldered directly onto the Polaris carrier board to save costs.
The kit includes the LinuxBSP included in series quality. Drivers for the camera and interfaces as well as the image processing libraries OpenCV and GStreamer are in the BSP integrated. This is for a direct start BSP already installed ready for use.
Note: The Polaris Embedded Imaging Kit can also be supplied with other hardware configurations (eg monochrome camera modules). Let us configure your individual kit for you.
