1 Hi guys,
2
3 i have a custom built hardware which is capable of inserting temperature
4 information into a video signal (PAL, as i am from europe/austria).
5
6 the design is based on a "OSD-chip" from the good old VCR days ;) - and
7 a microcontroller - however, those components are not available any more
8 and i would like to go with an embedded linux solution with video in and
9 video out, and some analog io.
10
11 currently i am planning to use the following:
12
13 - via epia with Flash Drive (fanless, cheap, has Video-Out, although
14 not at a very good quality)
15
16 - bt8x8 video in card
17
18 - redesign the current analog part with 1wire components - can be
19 easily connected via usb - i would also go with "off-the-shelf"
20 hardware (i would need 2 A/D converters and some digital i/o) -
21 but haven't found something useful until now ...
22
23 i also thought about using http://www.compulab.co.il hardware - as they
24 have "Video In" capabilities, but the linux support is unknown (?) -
25 they say ... and i am not sure how to generate a PAL signal on these
26 boards ...
27
28 would also like to try out gumstix - but havent digged deeper in what
29 they offer ...
30
31 so, has anyone here some suggestions for me ?!?!
32
33 thanks for all,
34 mexx.
