Re: [Elphel-support] 14Mpix sensor update

[Elphel Support]

Hello Richard,

Oleg already fixed that issue, he got 13.5 fps - there is some inconsistency in 
the data sheet, he is trying to figure out what to believe and what is wrong. 
Default fps after reset is also not maximal (as it was for 5 MPix), but those 8 
fps. When running at full frame rate full resolution JPEG mode will limit frame 
rate: JPEG needs 1.5 clock cycles/pixel JP4 - 1 clock/pixel, current compressor 
clock is 240MHz. Next batch of cameras will use  speed grade 3, while current 
is 2 and the FPGA meets timing for -1 (some early units were -1). We may try to 
increase clock for both compressor and memory (memory bandwidth is currently 
2*4*200Mhz=1600MB/s, for simultaneous 4 channels it will be another limit - 
each pixel (byte) has to pass memory interface twice - recorded and then 
readout. I believe it will be possible to increase overall bandwidth by 30-50%.

We also have sent PCBs fro the 18MPix sensor - it is BSI so should have better 
sensitivity than 14 MPix which is FSI.

Hi Oleg,

Thanks you for the new firmware.


I was able to get the 14MPx sensor working which was great. It's seems to be 
running at about 8fps.

Re: [Elphel-support] 14Mpix sensor update

[Oleg]

Hello,


> Is there an update regarding support for the 14 Mpix sensor?
>

What works:
- cable phase adjusting on detect
- free running mode
- exposure / autoexposure
- gains and autowhite balance
- changing window size can freeze - so, it's better to turn off compressor
before changing

Things to do:
- binning / skipping
- flips
- test get rid of freezing
- triggered mode

You can try it if you like. I can upload a firmware image or just a device
tree.
- to switch between sensor types - the device tree has to be recompiled.
