    Getting Started with FlyCapture 2.

    3 and ARM
    Technical Application Note TAN2012001
    Revised September 5, 2012

    1.1.

    Subject

    Technical Application Note (TAN2012001): Getting Started with FlyCapture 2.3 and ARM

    1.2.

    Applicable Product(s)

    FlyCapture SDK Version 2.3

    Point Grey USB 2.0 cameras

    1.3.

    Application Note Description

    With the release of version 2.3 of the FlyCapture SDK, users can program and operate Point Grey
    USB 2.0 imaging cameras on an ARM device in a Linux environment. This Application Note explains
    the components and steps that are necessary to get started with FlyCapture 2.3 and ARM as well as
    the limitations of using FlyCapture2 on an ARM device.

    1.4.

    Intended Audience

    This Technical Application Note is intended for users of Point Grey USB 2.0 imaging cameras who
    want to program and operate cameras on an ARM device in a Linux environment.

    1.5.

    Testing is ongoing. Wherever possible limitations have been noted;


    however, as more testing is completed this information may change.
    All possible configurations of ARM and Point Grey USB 2.0 cameras
    may not experience the same results.

    Overview

    The following topics are covered:

    Supported System Configuration

    Configuring the Operating System and Installing the Required Libraries

    Installing the FlyCapture SDK

    Compiling the Examples

    1.6.

    Supported System Configuration

    Before installing FlyCapture, you must have the following prerequisites:

    Pandaboard, Beagleboard, or other OMAP4 device with an ARMv7 Cortex processor


    (including Cortex-A7, -A8, and -A9).
    Pandaboard is the recommended device. (www.pandaboard.org)
    Pandaboard and Beagleboard are the only devices supported by testing

    Linux distribution on the Pandaboard. The recommended version is Ubuntu 11.10.


    (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/)

    A Point Grey USB 2.0 camera, either Chameleon or FireflyMVU


    Other Point Grey imaging cameras (FireWire, USB 3.0, GigE, or CameraLink) are NOT
    supported.

    An external power supply such as a powered USB hub or GPIO power cable.
    The Beagleboard does not provide enough power to operate the camera. The Pandaboard
    may provide enough power depending on other peripheral devices attached.

    1.7.

    Configuring the Operating System and Installing the


    Required Libraries

    For step by step Ubuntu installation instructions on the Pandaboard see the Quick Start Guide at
    Omapedia.org. (For more information about using Ubuntu and Pandaboard, see the Omapedia.org
    Ubuntu Main Page.)
    For FlyCapture2 to run on a Linux Ubuntu system, the following dependencies must be installed:

    libgtkmm-2.4-dev

    libglademm-2.4-dev

    libusb-1.0

    These libraries are usually packaged with Ubuntu distributions or updates. If they are not pre-installed,
    use the apt-get console command, as in the following example:
    Ubuntu 10.10:
    user$: sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev libglademm-2.4-dev libusb-1.0-0

    Revised 5-Sep-12

    The raw1394 module that is installed with the libraw1394-8 package


    may not load after a reboot, causing a FlyCapture bus event error and
    failure to start an application. To fix, add raw1394 to the /etc/modules
    file. If problems persist, add video1394 as well.

    Getting Started with FlyCapture 2.2.3 and ARM

    Installing the FlyCapture SDK

    To install the FlyCapture2 SDK:


    1. Download FlyCapture2 SDK from the Point Grey Downloads webpage. You will need a
    downloads account to access the Download links.
    2. Copy your flycapture-<version>_arm.tar.gz package on a network or USB drive then copy it to
    a location on the Pandaboard.
    3. Untar the installation package:
    tar xvfz flycapture-<version>_arm.tar.gz

    4. Copy all libraries to system folders:


    cd flycapture-<version>_arm/lib
    sudo cp libflycapture* /usr/lib
    cd flycapture-<version>_arm/

    5. Configure permissions to run Point Grey cameras:


    sudo sh flycap2-conf

    6. Follow the instructions of the script. This installs all the FlyCapture2 libraries, example code,
    sample applications, and documentation. Additionally, the script prompts you to configure
    udev so that devices can be used by a particular user. If you choose to configure devices, the
    script changes permissions on the nodes by overwriting the default Ubuntu permissions and
    giving the user full read and write access to the device nodes.
    7. Restart your board for the user permissions to take effect.

    1.9.

    Compiling the Examples

    The FlyCapture SDK includes a number of example applications to help get you started in
    programming common API tasks. Example files are installed under flycapture-<version>_arm/bin
    (where you extracted the package).
    We suggest copying the extracted folder and sub-folders to a location with write access.
    To compile the examples, install the GNU C++ (g++) compiler that is included with the build-essential
    package:
    user$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

    Some of the examples are GUI-based. The gtk and glade libraries are required to build these
    examples. These libraries should already be installed under Section 1.7. Note that the FlyCaptureGUI
    example must be built before the FlyCap2 or FlyCapture2GUITest examples can be built.
    To compile a specific example, run the makefile located in the example directory. Binaries are copied
    to the bin directory, and libraries are copied to the lib directory. For example:
    user$ cd <extraction folder>/FlyCapture-<version>-arm/src/FlyCapture2Test
    user$ make

    You can also use a cross compiler to build examples for the target architecture. A cross compiler that
    works well is CodeSourcery.
    Alternatively, you can set up an ARM emulator using QEmu, install Ubuntu on it, and build your
    software on the virtual machine.
