Basler Camera
=============

+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Module                         | Camera                          |
+================================+=================================+
| QSXM-MM60                      | `Basler daA2500-60mci`_         |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| QSXP-ML81                      | `Basler daA3840-30mc`_          |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+

To compile a Yocto image with the Camera enabled follow the steps below.


Build Directory
---------------

Set up your Yocto build-directory with these settings:

.. prompt::
   :prompts: $

   DISTRO=karo-xwayland MACHINE=<machine> source karo-setup-release.sh -b <build-dir>


Basler Layers
-------------

.. hint:: The layers only apply for our **5.10.72_2.2.0 hardknott** release!

+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Module                         | Layers                                                             |
+================================+====================================================================+
| QSXM-MM60, QSXP-ML81           | https://github.com/basler/meta-basler-tools |br|                   |
|                                | https://github.com/basler/meta-basler-imx8                         |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

Clone the two folders ``meta-basler-imx8`` and ``meta-basler-tools`` to your **BSP** ``sources`` directory, where the other layers are present.

To make the layers available for your build, append the following two lines to your ``<build-dir>/conf/bblayers.conf`` file.

.. code-block:: text

   BBLAYERS += "${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-basler-imx8"
   BBLAYERS += "${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-basler-tools/meta-basler-common"


Patching Basler Layers
----------------------

The Basler layers have to be patched to fit our needs. 

.. note:: **Patch** |br|

   Download our :download:`basler-layers-fit-for-karo-images.patch <./patches/basler-layers-fit-for-karo-images.patch>` and apply it inside your **BSP** ``sources`` directory as follows.

.. prompt::
   :prompts: $

   cd /karo-nxp-bsp/sources/
   patch -p1 < basler-layers-fit-for-karo-images.patch


Building Image
--------------

When everything set up you can build the Image including Camera support.

.. prompt::
   :prompts: $

   bitbake karo-image-basler

When your build has finished, flash your module with the image. See :ref:`uuu`.
