HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Installing the Basler dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit
Damage Hazard: Supplying power before the hardware installation is
completed can damage camera and board components.
Only connect the power supply to the mains socket after the hardware
installation is completed.
For the following installation steps, refer to Figure 1.
1. Attach four spacer bolts to the bottom of the mounting plate using four
screws (M2x4) included in the mounting kit.
2. Remove the protective caps from the lens and mount the lens on the
camera.
3. Attach the camera to the mounting plate using four screws (M2x12) so
that the lens is led through the hole of the plate. Fix the screws with the
nuts.
4. Lead the flexible flat cable through the rectangular cutout of the
mounting plate.
NOTICE
Note: When installing the development kit, Basler recommends that you
attach the camera to the included mounting plate. In this case, proceed
as described in the following procedure, where the lens is led through
the round hole of the plate.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
5. Connect the flexible flat cable to the camera.
To insert the cable:
a. Push the end of the cable firmly into the FFC connector with the
ground tab facing down until the retaining tabs slide into the
recesses on both sides.
b. Flip the locking bar down to lock the FFC connector.
6. Mount the mounting plate on the carrier board using four screws
(M2x4).
7. Connect the flexible flat cable to the FFC connector on the carrier
board. Flex the cable and pass it through the second cutout of the
mounting plate.
8. Insert the microSD card carefully into the microSD card slot of the
processing board.
9. Connect the processing board to the carrier board by carefully pushing
the processing board’s MicroHeader connectors JX1 and JX2 into the
corresponding X10 and X7 connectors of the carrier board
(see also Figure 4).
10. Set the boot mode jumpers as follows:
JP3: bottom position
JP2: bottom position
JP1: top position
JP3 JP2 JP1

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
11. Connect the power supply to the carrier board and to the mains socket.
The board boots up.
12. Check that the following LEDs are lit.
On the carrier board:
4 Power Good LEDs (green)
On the processing board:
1 Power Good LED (green)
1 Done LED (blue)
1 User LED (red) - lights up only shortly
13. Connect the interface cables (Ethernet and USB).
Note: Basler strongly recommends not using the USB 2.0 port of the
processing board to operate a USB device (e.g., a camera) that requires
a power supply as specified by the USB 2.0 standard. When connected
to the USB 2.0 port, functionality and data transmission of the device
will be limited or the device will not be recognized at all.
For more information about enabling full USB 2.0 support, refer to
www.baslerweb.com or www.imaginghub.com.

ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
Prerequisites
You have completed the hardware installation procedure as described in
the Hardware Installation chapter.
You have administrator rights for the computer.
The processing board is connected to a DHCP-enabled network, so that
the device can obtain an IP address automatically.
If you don't use a DHCP-enabled network, you can manually assign a
static IP address to the processing board and to the host computer.
Note: In the following steps, it is assumed that a Windows operating
system is installed on the host computer which will be used to connect
to the processing board. However, you can also use other operating
systems (e.g., Linux) on the host computer.
15
ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
Step 1: Installing the Required Software on the Host Computer
1. Download and install the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP
Driver" from the Silicon Labs website:
www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx
For more information, see the Silicon Labs CP210x USB-to-UART Setup
Guide. You can download the document from www.microzed.org.
2. Download and install a terminal client.
In the following steps, the PuTTY terminal client is used. You can
download PuTTY from www.putty.org.
Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal
1. In Windows, open the Device Manager.
(Quick access: Win+R > type devmgmt.msc > Enter)
2. In the Device Manager, expand the Ports (COM & LPT) entry.
3. Determine which COM port the "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART
Bridge" device is connected to, e.g., COM3.
16
ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
4. Start your terminal client.
If you use PuTTY, the Session category opens.
5. In the Specify the destination you want to connect to group, click
Serial.
6. Click the Serial category and make the following settings.
In the Select a serial line group:
Serial line to connect to: type the COM port the "Silicon Labs
CP210x USB to UART Bridge" device is connected to, e.g., COM3.
In the Configure the serial line group:
Speed (baud): 115200
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: None
17

7. To save your serial line settings, click the Session category, enter a name
for your session in the Saved Sessions box and click Save.
8. Click Open to connect to the device.
A terminal window opens.

ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
9. On the processing board, press and release the Reset button
(see Figure 1).
The processing board reboots. Bootstrap messages are being displayed
in the terminal window.
Step 3: Changing the Processing Board’s MAC Address
When using the processing board's default factory configuration, a problem
arises from the fact that all units are set up to use the same Ethernet MAC
address. The resulting address collision must be avoided by changing the
MAC addresses of all boards.
1. Choose a set of different MAC addresses to use, one for each board.
Basler recommends choosing addresses from the "locally administered"
address range. For details, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address#Universal_vs._local.
2. Make sure you are connected to the processing board via terminal (see
"Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal" on page 15).
3. On the processing board, press and release the Reset button
(see Figure 1).
Note: Step 3 only applies if you intend to operate multiple processing
boards connected to the same network.
19
ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
4. When the message Hit any key to stop autoboot appears in the
terminal window, press any key.
5. Assuming you have chosen a MAC address of 06:00:00:00:01:02 in
step 1:
Type setenv ethaddr 06:00:00:00:01:02 and press Enter.
6. Type saveenv and press Enter.
The new MAC address is now assigned to the processing board until it is
changed by this procedure again.
7. Press and release the Reset button for the changes to take effect.
8. Repeat steps 2 to 7 for each board that you want to connect to the
same network.
Step 4: Determining the Processing Board’s IP Address
1. Make sure you are connected to the processing board via terminal
(see "Step 2: Connecting to the Processing Board via Terminal" on
page 15).
2. On the processing board, press and release the Reset button
(see Figure 1).
3. When the message Hit any key to stop autoboot appears in the
terminal window, do not press any key and allow the countdown to
expire.
20
ACQUIRING YOUR FIRST IMAGES
4. When prompted, enter the following login credentials and press Enter:
zynq login: ubuntu
Password: ubuntu
5. Type ip addr show dev eth0 and press Enter.
6. Determine the IP address of the processing board.
Fig. 3: IP Address of Processing Board
Note: If you want to assign the IP address manually, use the command
sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP address> and press Enter. Type the password
ubuntu and press Enter.
Manually assigning the IP address in this way is temporary, meaning that
this setting is lost when the processing board is rebooted.
