Allied Vision Technologies releases version 1.3 of its Software Development Kit (SDK) Vimba. The new package supports ARM v7 systems that are increasingly popular in the consumer electronics and IT industry and open new possibilities as a simple, compact and cost-effective host for machine vision systems. Vimba 1.3 supports Open MP, nearly utilizing the full capabilities of multiprocessor systems to speed up image conversions.
Development on ARM platforms is particularly convenient with Vimba thanks to platform-independent APIs for C and C++ and the support of cross-platform development. Users can easily program and test their application on a Linux-based PC and compile it for their ARM system, shortening development time. The company provides prepared Makefiles and an Application Note for cross-compiling from Linux/x86 to Linux/ARM.
The tool supports soft-float and hard-float platforms. It has been tested on the Odroid-XU, Pandaboard and Beaglebone Black boards, as well as the Operating systems Ubuntu 12.04 hard-float, Ubuntu 11.10 soft-float and Angstrom hard-float.
