2. HD Camera Cape Overview
RadiumBoards HD Camera Cape for BeagleBone Black provides a high resolution
portable camera solution for the BeagleBone Black (BBB) platform. The HD Camera
Cape is composed of :
• The Expansion board containing the data management circuitry which provides
BBB the capability to connect to a camera sensor via camera interface .The
Expansion board carries QuickLogic CSSP device (part no. CSSP-FPUN86-6494)
which receives processed video data from camera sensor and transmits it to
BeagleBone Black via GPMC bus. The Expansion board, powered by the
BeagleBone Black, also provides different power supplies to the Sensor board. It
mounts directly to BeagleBone Black via its stackable connectors.
• The Sensor board containing the image sensor and optics. It utilizes a high definition
Aptina image sensor capable of delivering high resolution images and video with
outstanding low light capability with low noise. The Sensor board also includes an
EEPROM to store board information, which is required by BeagleBone Black for
cape identification and pin muxing configuration.
