  3. Functionality Absolute Minimal Functionality: • Laid out functioning PCB. • Boot monitor working and running code. • Processor is able to read data from an input device and store it in SDRAM. • The Plan: • Graphics chip streaming data from NTSC sugarcube cameras over i2c bus. • The Backup Plan: • Jamcam 2.0 digital camera with serial interface. • The Absolute Worst Case Scenario • Ultrasonic Rangefinder over i2c bus. • Range finding based on data read in from hopefully the graphics chip. Above the Call of Duty Functionality: • Run Embedded Linux • Integrate Touch Screen Functionality – Touch the object and range appears. • Display ranges on a PC terminal.

  27. Routed PCB The One

  28. Boot Monitor • Initialize the Processor • Registers • Clocks • Serial Interface • Setup Memory Map • User Interface • Terminal interaction • User Menu • Download Code • Execute Code • Input is a Motorola S-Record

  29. LCD Drivers • ASCII LCD • Initialization Code • User Defined Characters • Write A Character • Write a String • Clear Screen • Go to Specific Location • TFT LCD • Use Internal Dragonball TFT Controller. • Possible Touchscreen Interface.

  30. Range-Finding • Separate Memory into 2 Arrays for data From Each Camera and Store Video RGB Data Into Memory • Find The Common Pixels Between 2 Cameras Utilizing Red Laser Pointer • Find the Offset between the two arrays of pixels. • Use a trigonometric relation to calculate the distance from the laser origin to the object being distanced.

  31. RTOS (uCLinux) • uCLinux • uClinux is a derivative of Linux 2.0 kernel intended for microcontrollers without Memory Management Units (MMUs). • Common Linux API • uCkernel < 512 kb • uCkernel + tools < 900 kb • Successfully Run On the Motorola Dragonball EZ Processor and Other 68k Derivatives

  32. Milestone 1 Board designed around Dragonball VZ processor, laid out, fabricated and populated. Boot monitor designed, tested and working. Design, test, and run RAM interface and be able to run simple instructions (nop). Milestone 2 Boots internally. Rangefinder built, and code developed for video chip interface, range finding, and LCD display. Milestones

  33. Expo Get system to run embedded Linux. Linux interfaces with graphics chip. Modify code to run on Linux. Final Debugging. Magical Demonstration and working project. It will be “the one.” Milestones
