PS5520 5MP Support – Request for Pre-Release Firmware (PR #3114 / #3132)

Hello,

I’m currently working with the PS5520 camera and understand that full 5MP support is pending the merge of the following pull requests into the v5.0.0 firmware:

From what I’ve been told, these changes are required to enable proper 5MP operation.

I’d like to test full 5MP functionality now if possible. I understand there is a pre-release firmware available that includes these updates.

Would you be able to share the pre-release firmware build so I can test?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alligator,

I’ve attached a firmware made by combining a few open PRs for the N6. In particular, the image scaler, jpeg venc, and ps5520 image quality fixes.

firmware.zip (15.3 MB)

Color matrix correction has not been enabled yet, but, otherwise, the image should look good.

import csi
import time

csi0 = csi.CSI()
csi0.reset()
csi0.pixformat(csi.RGB565)
csi0.framesize(csi.WQXGA2)
csi0.snapshot(time=2000)

clock = time.clock()

while True:
    clock.tick()
    img = csi0.snapshot()
    print(clock.fps())

Load the firmware.bin file via Tools->Install Custom Firmware in the IDE. You may also want to update the romfs using the same dialog with the romfs0.img file too.

Color matrix support makes the image look like this: ports/stm32: Add ccm support. by kwagyeman · Pull Request #3161 · openmv/openmv · GitHub

Excellent, thank you for the quick response. I look forward to testing this and creating something new.
