Re: C6713 vs. DM642- Urgent - Image Processing Application

Started by hoor...@gmail.com October 22, 2007
Hi, I have just started to do a similiar project. But it is much simpler than yours. The first thing I should do is to connect a camera module to the peripherals expansion connector on my DSK. But I have not a camera module which can be connected to the peripherals expansion connector directly. I guess an adapter is nedded. I have searched related information for days but got nothing.

So, could you give me some hints on how can I connect the camera module to the peripherals expansion connector on my DSK?

Regards

What are the constraints on your camera module??
Do you have a specific module that you must use??
What interface choice[s] do you have??
This would make the question much easier to answer.
