Instructions for Using onsemi’s CMOS Image Sensor Development Kits

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an onsemi CMOS image sensor development kit, which are USB-powered camera boards

that enable easy testing and characterization of onsemi® sensors.

onsemi's sensor demonstration software, DevSuite, enables you to display images from your sensor. This software

is downloaded from onsemi's website.

Follow the instructions below to assemble the kit and to download and install onsemi’s DevSuite software.

Before continuing, please ensure that you meet the Hardware and Software requirements listed in Appendix A.

For issues with getting the camera to be detected or applications failing to launch, review the “Trouble Shooting

Guide”.

A common problem with first-time users is their PC/laptop not having the latest USB3 Chipset FW.

Do not connect your kit to your USB3 port until instructed to do so.

Connect the headboard and MARS Adapter via the 26-pin female connector located on the back of the baseboard and the 26-pin male header on the back of the adapter. Connect the Deserializer to the Adapter via the mini-connector. Note: the connectors are matched, so it is only possible to connect the Deserializer and not the Serializer. Connect the Serializer to the sensor or ISP (no lens).

Demo Kit Quick-Start Guide Appendix A Appendix A Requirements Hardware and software requirements for onsemi’s development kit are detailed below. Hardware Requirements • In general, a desktop or laptop manufactured in 2016 or later will suffice. • Processor i3 or better (a faster processor will improve the displayed frame rate on the PC). Advanced noise reduction, sophisticated demosaic, and high dynamic range processing are very CPU-intensive. • Available C: disk space of at least 600Mb.
