30 Start Lab Session 3 30

31 Lab Session 3 Complete Accomplished Configured the Linux Kernel for SH7724 Platform Built the Kernel Image Are able to boot of the our new SH Linux Kernel Image Next Session Writing a Simple Media Application 31

32 Writing a Simple Media Application Objective Capture 720p Frames from the 30 fps Scale for WVGA (800x480) Display Output the frames on the Display Lab Session Code Walk Through Compilation Execution 32

33 Start Lab Session 4 33

34 Lab Session 4 Complete Accomplished Went through the code required for a simple media application that captures video from a Camera, Scales the captured image and displays the scaled image on the LCD Compiled the application on the Host Development Environment that was setup earlier Executed the program successfully 34

35 Optimizations Necessary to be Real Time Using buffers that are provided by the UIOMUX Library to avoid coping of data Threading is required in order achieve 720p Capture and 30 fps 35

36 Conclusion Summarize the capabilities of the platform Standard Linux System Linux Programming on all platforms is the same Ease of use Porting to target is easy Many frameworks, libraries and application readily available Where to get additional information Renesas web site Renesas Open Source Web Site Video4Linux Ubuntu Linux Distribution 36
