This week, I worked on Ethernet validation and board bringup for the interim demo. We were able to get the clock chip working, for which I did a lot of the firmware bringup. All three of us also collectively debugged the LWIP implementation of Ethernet on the image sensor board to ultimately enable our computers to ping the device. I also helped out with rework/soldering and harnessing to connect the power board to the image sensor board. See images in team status report/demo presentation. We got a ton done this week and should be on track! For the next week, I plan to continue debugging DCMI connection and protocol on the image sensor board.
For subsystem level validation, I hope to measure the throughput of DCMI after we get the peripheral to work, and see how much jitter is in the frame rate throughput. I also want to measure the memory utilization using ST debugger tools to see how big of a buffer we might need for holding frames depending on the program size in RAM.
