Overview

This article contains information about HOWTO create a SD-Card to boot the demo camera software for IGEP COM MODULE. To see the camera output is recommended use an IGEP BERLIN or IGEP PARIS connected to the DVI port.

Please see the corresponding sections above for details.

Pre-built for impatients

First, download the pre-built demo camera rootfs (beta version)

$ wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/releases/demos/demo-image-camera-igep00x0-20121112.tar.bz2

This tarball contains a bootable image, which can be used to directly boot on a SD-card.

Then, clone latest igep-tools

$ git clone git://git.isee.biz/pub/scm/igep-tools.git

Under Linux, insert a SD-card media and use igep-media-create script to copy the image to SD-card media.

$ cd igep-tools/scripts
$ ./igep-media-create --mmc <mmc> --image ../../demo-image-camera-igep00x0-20121112.tar.bz2 \
                   --machine igep0030 --buddy camr0010

where,

   <mmc> - is the SD-Card device of your computer.

This should give you a bootable SD-card.

Insert the SD-card media into the micro-SD card socket of IGEP COM MODULE and power on it. This should result in a running system with a serial login link.

Prompt into the login using the root account.

Run the live example typing:

# modprobe omap_vout
# live

You should see the captured image in your DVI monitor.
