The currently implemented feature set of the Digilent IP and software is described in the overview
section of the wiki page for a host board's Pcam 5C demo. Notes on the image quality produced can
also be found in the “Pcam 5C Image Quality Notes” section of the same wiki page. Currently the
only posted demo is the Zybo Z7 Pcam 5C demo, but future Pcam compatible hosts will have similar
demos.
If the currently implemented feature set and image quality of the Pcam 5C demo is
relevant to your interest in the Pcam 5C, the demo wiki page should be reviewed prior to
purchasing the device.
Digilent is currently exploring providing a Petalinux based demo that uses an evaluation license of
the Xilinx licensed IP. This may be more relevant to those trying to implement a professional project
or that require software support in embedded Linux. Please reach out on the Digilent Forum for an
update on the status of this project.
Although the connector on the Pcam 5C is pin compatible with the Raspberry Pi, Digilent has not
validated that the two devices work properly together and does not provide software to do so.
