The camera manufacturer Basler expands its portfolio with camera modules and a development kit with BCON for MIPI interface. The product concept of the dart BCON for MIPI Development Kit with the processor from Qualcomm Technologies (Qualcomm APQ8096SG) won the Embedded Award in the Embedded Vision category at this year’s Embedded World Conference in Nuremberg, Germany.

The BCON for MIPI interface combines the MIPI technology with standards and the features of the Machine Vision world. This approach utilizes the Qualcomm Spectra ISP.

In addition to the dart camera module with 5 megapixel resolution and 60 fps based on ON Semiconductor’s AR0521 sensor, Basler also supplies the appropriate driver package for controlling the sensor and image acquisition via the MIPI CSI-2 interface. Users get an industrial-grade embedded vision system.

The dart BCON for MIPI Development Kit is a modular system that makes it possible to evaluate the Basler dart BCON for MIPI camera modules and design them into an embedded vision system. The dart BCON for MIPI camera modules use Qualcomm Spectra ISP on a Linux operating system (Linaro).
