    We have updated our OSM design data library!

    It now contains information for Cadence(R) and ALTIUM(R).

    Beside a general OSM Size-S symbol it includes now module specific sysmbols for the F&S Modules OSM8ULP, OSM8MM, OSM93 and (new) OSM8MP.



    1. Schematic

    • Cadence library (fs_osm.olb) including:
      • general OSM symbol (V1.1, V1.2, size S)
      • symbols of F&S OSM modules (module-specific implementation information)
      • F&S OSM spacer symbol
      • F&S OSM heatspreader symbol (p.n. & scope of supply)
    • Altium library (OSM_Size_S_V120.SchLib) including:
      • general OSM Size S symbol (V1.2)
      • symbols of F&S OSM modules (module-specific implementation information)
      • F&S OSM spacer symbol

    2. PCB

    • Cadence
      • fs_osm_lga332_1p25_30x30_bb.dra:
        • footprint of OSM module (baseboard side, include position references for the spacers, suitable for the use of the F&S OSM heatspreader Rev.1.10)
      • fs_osm_spacer_m2p5_3p0.dra
        • footprint of OSM spacer
    • Altium library (OSM_Size_S_V120.PcbLib) including
      • general OSM Size S symbol (V1.2)
      • F&S OSM spacer symbol

    3. 3D

    • 3D model of OSM8ULP_REV100
    • 3D model of OSM93_REV100
    • 3D model of OSM93_REV110
    • 3D model of OSM8MM_REV110
    • 3D model of OSM8MM_REV120
    • 3D model of OSM8MP_REV100
    • 3D model of heat spreader MHS.OSM.1

    Great news, F&S has created a library for easy integration of OSM into customers carrier board.

    The library contains:

    The WLAN module on PicoCore can also be used as access point.

    It's important to know, that the interface mlan0 is used for station mode and the interface uap0 is used for softAP mode.

    By default, only mlan0 is started during boot.

    To start uap0 during boot you have to set the paramter "driver_mode" of module "mwifiex" to th value 3.

    Best way to do this, is to set the variable "extra" in u-boot like following:


    Code
    1. setenv extra mwifiex.driver_mode=0x03

    The result is, that the interface mlan0 and the interface uap0 are started during boot.

    There is a open source webcam driver for Windows Embedded. The driver was originally provided on CodePlex.

    The driver supports webcams which use the USB UVC class. SO other not tested webcams with support for UVC should also work.

    We have integrated this driver in our binary BSP. You can add the driver to your image by selecting it in the catalog.


    We have tested the driver with following webcams:

    • Logitech C270
    • Logitech C920

    To test the camera you can use the tool DShowCamTest.exe.

    Some customers asking, for the well known standard shell form Compact 7.
    The answer is, that this is also a removed functionality of Compact 2013.
    The new MinShell only shows a bitmap and has a "Start" button on the top left of the window.
    F&S has ported the old control panel to Compact 2013 and added a menu entry to start this under the "Start" button.
    Using this you have access to "F&S Board Config" can change date/time, play some system sounds and much more.
