Basler dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit
The Basler dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit is a complete development kit for a Basler dart camera with BCON for LVDS Interface. It provides a reference design on the base of a MicroZed processing board with Xilinx Zynq®-7010 SoC.
Documentation
Get Started
To get started with the development kit and acquire your first images the following documents will help you:
- dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit - Quick Install Guide: this guide contains information about how to install the Development Kit and step-by-step instructions that help you acquire the first images with the Basler dart BCON camera.
- dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit - Development Guide: this document gives you an overview about the system and provides technical information about how to use the Board Support Package.
- dart BCON User's Manual: the dart BCON User’s Manual contains information about how to operate and configure Basler dart BCON cameras.
- Required Modifications on MicroZed Processing Board Used with USB 2.0 Devices: this application note provides information about how to modify the MicroZed processing board of the dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit in order to use it with USB 2.0 devices.
Hardware Design Resources
If you're looking for additonal documentation or want to adapt the current carrier board design to your needs than you should refer to the following links:
- MicroZed BCON Carrier Board - Schematic Diagram: this document describes the design of the MicroZed BCON carrier board that allows to connect a dart BCON camera to the MicroZed processing board.
- MicroZed BCON Carrier Board - Bill of Material: the bill of material provides a list of the materials and the quantities that are needed to manufacture the MicroZed BCON Carrier Board.
For more information about the MicroZed processing board please got to zedboard.org. Further documentation, such as the MicroZed Hardware User's Guide or the MicroZed Schematics can be downloaded from here.
Software (Image + BSP)
The dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit comes with a pre-loaded SD card. The image on the card contains everything you need for a smooth start with the development kit. Besides a bootable Ubuntu Linux operating system with drivers and libraries for the control of the dart BCON for LVDS camera, the package includes a preconfigured FPGA image pipeline as well as a copy of Basler’s pylon Software Suite.
The current version of the dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit Image as well as future updates can be downloaded from baslerweb.com
In case you want to customize the system from a software point of view or just want to have a look into the associated source files, then you should download the board support package for the dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit from baslerweb.com. The package contains an Ubuntu Linux distribution with all required drivers, a Vivado FPGA project as well as a pylon example implementation for the software connection of the dart BCON for LVDS camera to the Basler pylon Software Suite.

Hi,
the first thing you need to make sure is to activate the single shot or continiouss shot mode. Both options can be found in the top bar menu next to the save icon. Please try this first and let me know in case you still do not see any images.

Sebastian

Hi,
I've been trying to follow the quick install guide for the basler powerpack for embedded vision but i have hit a wall near the end of the process. I have successfully connected to the processing board using remote desktop and launched pylon Viewer from the processing board, but the BCON camera is not listed under the Devices pane. As a result, I am unable to connect to the camera and all the camera options are greyed out, including "Continuous Shot" and "Zoom to Fit".
On further experimentation, I found that I can use bconctl to turn the camera on and off, but when I try to use bcongrab I get a message saying "No device is available or no device contains the provided device info properties"
Please advise on how I should go about troubleshooting this problem, thank you.

Hi Hweishia,
Just to check, are you powering the devkit from the ac adapter, or by only the USB cable?
I ask because the usb cable will only supply enough for the microzed board, but not the camera.
Also, how does the LED look on the camera, is it on or off?

Hi mattb,
I'm using the ac adapter for the kit, and the LED on the camera is on.

Hi all, I actually managed to troubleshoot the issue on my own. Turns out it was a very silly error, the DIP switches on my carrier board were in the wrong configuration. I set them right and now the camera works fine.

Hi,
when using the remote desktop connection don't forget to turn off any IT security policies on your laptop which may block it. And check firewall settings to allow RDP to get through.
