Installing the Basler dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit

Damage Hazard: Supplying power before the hardware installation is completed can damage camera and board components.

Only connect the power supply to the mains socket after the hardware installation is completed.

For the following installation steps, refer to Figure 1.

1. Attach four spacer bolts to the bottom of the mounting plate using four screws (M2x4) included in the mounting kit.

2. Remove the protective caps from the lens and mount the lens on the camera.

3. Attach the camera to the mounting plate using four screws (M2x12) so that the lens is led through the hole of the plate. Fix the screws with the nuts.

4. Lead the flexible flat cable through the rectangular cutout of the mounting plate.

NOTICE

Note: When installing the development kit, Basler recommends that you attach the camera to the included mounting plate. In this case, proceed as described in the following procedure, where the lens is led through the round hole of the plate.

12


5. Connect the flexible flat cable to the camera.

To insert the cable:

a. Push the end of the cable firmly into the FFC connector with the ground tab facing down until the retaining tabs slide into the recesses on both sides.

b. Flip the locking bar down to lock the FFC connector.

6. Mount the mounting plate on the carrier board using four screws (M2x4).

7. Connect the flexible flat cable to the FFC connector on the carrier board. Flex the cable and pass it through the second cutout of the mounting plate.

8. Insert the microSD card carefully into the microSD card slot of the processing board.

9. Connect the processing board to the carrier board by carefully pushing the processing board’s MicroHeader connectors JX1 and JX2 into the corresponding X10 and X7 connectors of the carrier board (see also Figure 4).

10. Set the boot mode jumpers as follows:

JP3: bottom position

JP2: bottom position

JP1: top position

JP3 JP2 JP1

13


11. Connect the power supply to the carrier board and to the mains socket.

The board boots up.

12. Check that the following LEDs are lit.

On the carrier board:

4 Power Good LEDs (green)

On the processing board:

1 Power Good LED (green)

1 Done LED (blue)

1 User LED (red) - lights up only shortly

13. Connect the interface cables (Ethernet and USB).

Note: Basler strongly recommends not using the USB 2.0 port of the processing board to operate a USB device (e.g., a camera) that requires a power supply as specified by the USB 2.0 standard. When connected to the USB 2.0 port, functionality and data transmission of the device will be limited or the device will not be recognized at all.

For more information about enabling full USB 2.0 support, refer to www.baslerweb.com or www.imaginghub.com.

ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES


Prerequisites You have completed the hardware installation procedure as described in

the Hardware Installation chapter.

You have administrator rights for the computer.

The processing board is connected to a DHCP-enabled network, so that the device can obtain an IP address automatically.

If you don't use a DHCP-enabled network, you can manually assign a static IP address to the processing board and to the host computer.

Note: In the following steps, it is assumed that a Windows operating system is installed on the host computer which will be used to connect to the processing board. However, you can also use other operating systems (e.g., Linux) on the host computer.

15


Step 1: Installing the Required Software on the Host Computer1. Download and install the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP

Driver" from the Silicon Labs website: www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx

For more information, see the Silicon Labs CP210x USB-to-UART Setup Guide. You can download the document from www.microzed.org.

2. Download and install a terminal client.

In the following steps, the PuTTY terminal client is used. You can download PuTTY from www.putty.org.

Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal1. In Windows, open the Device Manager.

(Quick access: Win+R > type devmgmt.msc > Enter)

2. In the Device Manager, expand the Ports (COM & LPT) entry.

3. Determine which COM port the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge" device is connected to, e.g., COM3.

16


4. Start your terminal client.

If you use PuTTY, the Session category opens.

5. In the Specify the destination you want to connect to group, click Serial.

6. Click the Serial category and make the following settings.

In the Select a serial line group:

Serial line to connect to: type the COM port the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge" device is connected to, e.g., COM3.

In the Configure the serial line group:

Speed (baud): 115200

Data bits: 8

Stop bits: 1

Parity: None

Flow control: None

17


Fig. 2: PuTTY Configuration - Serial Line Settings

7. To save your serial line settings, click the Session category, enter a name for your session in the Saved Sessions box and click Save.

8. Click Open to connect to the device.

A terminal window opens.

Determined COM port

18


9. On the processing board, press and release the Reset button (see Figure 1).

The processing board reboots. Bootstrap messages are being displayed in the terminal window.

Step 3: Changing the Processing Board’s MAC Address

When using the processing board's default factory configuration, a problem arises from the fact that all units are set up to use the same Ethernet MAC address. The resulting address collision must be avoided by changing the MAC addresses of all boards.

1. Choose a set of different MAC addresses to use, one for each board.

Basler recommends choosing addresses from the "locally administered" address range. For details, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address#Universal_vs._local.

2. Make sure you are connected to the processing board via terminal (see "Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal" on page 15).


Note: Step 3 only applies if you intend to operate multiple processing boards connected to the same network.

19


4. When the message Hit any key to stop autoboot appears in the terminal window, press any key.

5. Assuming you have chosen a MAC address of 06:00:00:00:01:02 in step 1:

Type setenv ethaddr 06:00:00:00:01:02 and press Enter.

6. Type saveenv and press Enter.

The new MAC address is now assigned to the processing board until it is changed by this procedure again.

7. Press and release the Reset button for the changes to take effect.

8. Repeat steps 2 to 7 for each board that you want to connect to the same network.

Step 4: Determining the Processing Board’s IP Address1. Make sure you are connected to the processing board via terminal

(see "Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal" on page 15).


3. When the message Hit any key to stop autoboot appears in the terminal window, do not press any key and allow the countdown to expire.

20


4. When prompted, enter the following login credentials and press Enter:

zynq login: ubuntu

Password: ubuntu

5. Type ip addr show dev eth0 and press Enter.

6. Determine the IP address of the processing board.

Fig. 3: IP Address of Processing Board

Note: If you want to assign the IP address manually, use the command sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP address> and press Enter. Type the password ubuntu and press Enter.

Manually assigning the IP address in this way is temporary, meaning that this setting is lost when the processing board is rebooted.

21


Step 5: Connecting to the Processing Board via RDP1. In Windows, open Remote Desktop Connection.

(Quick access: Win+R > type mstsc > Enter)

2. In the Computer box, type the IP address of the processing board, e.g., 192.168.178.34 (see "Step 4: Determining the Processing Board’s IP Address" on page 19).

3. Click Connect.

4. If you receive the "The identity of the remote computer cannot be verified. Do you want to connect anyway?" message, click Yes.

The Basler dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit dialog opens.

5. Enter the following credentials:

Session: Xorg (default setting)

username: ubuntu

password: ubuntu

6. Click OK.

A graphical desktop opens.

22


Step 6: Acquiring Images Using the pylon Viewer1. Double-click the pylon Viewer icon on the desktop.

The pylon Viewer opens.

2. Double-click your camera’s name in the Devices pane to open the camera connection.

3. In the menu bar, click Camera > Continuous Shot.

The images captured by the camera are displayed in the image display area.

4. In the menu bar, click View > Zoom to Fit to make the image fit into the image display area.

5. Focus the lens until the image is properly focused.
