Boson OpenCV Sample Application

About

This is a sample application, showing an OpenCV frame and triggering an FFC over I2C, for GMSL Boson on the Nvidia AGX Xavier platform with a D3 SerDes GMSL2 adapter board.

Installation

Clone this repo and change to this directory From the command line, enter:

git clone [email protected]:FLIR/Xavier_OpenCV_Sample.git
cd Xavier_OpenCV_Sample

Installing Python

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip

Grant Executes Permission

chmod +x boson_video.py
chmod +x boson_i2c.py

Usage

Both .py files are entry points. boson_video.py shows streaming video. boson_i2c.py triggers an FFC.

./boson_video.py

or

./boson_i2c.py

Every time you connect a new camera, you must restart the computer - the Boson driver cannot detect when a new camera has been connected.
