Detailed Description

Configuration of the simulation and the SCAMP-5 hosting environment.

Introduction

In a SCAMP-5c source code, there are two sections: the host configuration section and the program. The host configuration section configures APRON to cooperate with the SCAMP-5c program. For example, setup a display window for each of the image readout in the program, or create sliders for user to input values to the system.

To make any changes in the config section effective, APRON need to be restarted if it is running. In contrast, when the program is recompiled with only changes in the program seciton, the APRON will automatically reprogram the new ICW file.

Example Usage

// Host Configuration Section
apron.config_begin
    sim.pix_source_webcam()// use webcam as image source when in simulation
    sim.use_error_model(2)// specify what level of error the simulation will use
    host.template('scamp5c_host_template.txt')// specify host template file
    host.firmware('ok_s5c_ipu.bit')// specify the bit file to use
    host.set_frame_rate(50)// set frame trigger
    slider_1 = host.add_slider('parameter a', 0, 255, 127)
    slider_2 = host.add_slider('parameter b', 0, 255, 3)
    window_1 = host.add_display('Captured')
    window_2 = host.add_display('Processed')
apron.config_end

// SCAMP-5c Program Section
...
    s0 = usb.slider(slider_1)// s0 will get the value of the slider named "parameter a"
    s1 = usb.slider(slider_2)// s0 will get the value of the slider named "parameter b"
    usb.aout(A,window_1)// this image will be shown in the window named "Captured"
    usb.aout(B,window_2)// this image will be shown in the window named "Processed"
