Lumenera has announced the launch of Linux software development kit (SDK) 2.1, their new software designed for embedded platforms using Linux ARM-based processors.
With the Linux SDK 2.1, USB 3.0 cameras from Lumenera now support Ubunti Linux, as it is used globally because of its versatility, reliability, and extensive developer libraries. Ubuntu has regular Long Term Support releases that are supported for five years, making it an ideal choice for developers. Cameras supported with this release include the Lt225, Lt425, Lt365R, Lt665R, Lt965R, Lt1265R, Lt16059H cameras, as well as the soon-to-be released Lt29059. It also supports Ubuntu versions 14.04.03, 14.04.04 and 12.04.05) on 32 and 64-bit x86 platforms and has the same common API call format as Lumenera’s Windows SDK and Linux 2.0 SDK for easy migration between platforms.
"Over the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the availability, performance/power and support of embedded platforms using ARM based processors, largely driven by advances in portable electronic devices," said Todd Robinson, Product Manager for Lumenera. "With the release of our Linux 2.1 SDK, we are able to support customers that are integrating our cameras into systems that are based on these increasingly popular embedded platforms."
Lumenera has focused their attention on supporting Raspberry Pi 2/3, NVidia Jetson TK1, and ODroid XU3/4.
