General Description
The C329 is a colour VGA camera module which performs JPEG compression and can be attached
to a host via an SPI interface. Users can send a Snapshot command from the host in order to capture
an image. The image is then compressed by the host and stored in and internal buffer and
transferred to the host through the SPI port.

System Configuration
Camera Sensor
The C329 uses a 1/4" OmniVision VGA sensor with an 8-bit YcbCr interface and 3.8 V/(Lux Sec)
sensitivity.
OV529 Serial Bridge
The OV529 Serial bridge contains an Embedded JPEC CODEC and controller chip that can
compress and transfer image data from the Camera Sensor to an external device. The OV529
performs all imaging functions like white balance, downsizing and compressed image storage.

Program EEPROM
A Serial EEPROM provides the program code that gives the OV529 it's interface and command set.
Board Layout

SPI Interface
Timing Options and CLK
The SPI interface consists of MOSI (Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), CLK and
CS. In the OV529 there is the addition of HOLD which when H indicates to the Master that the
OV529 isn't ready and should hold off the next transaction. The CS signal allows multiple devices
to be attached to the SPI bus. When CS is L the OV529 is selected. Data on MISO will be clocked
out on the falling edge of CLK and data on MOSI will be clocked in on the rising edge of CLK. (It
is possible to select both clock edges, this will require a hardware change that must be ordered
specifically. It is recommended to use the above scenario if at all possible)

SNAPSHOT (FFFFFF05h)
The host sends this command to ask OV529 to capture a still image. Snapshot Type must be 0 in
order to be compatible with OV528.
RESET (FFFFFF08h)
Reset All means a reset of the whole system, including registers and state machines. uC will be
rebooted. Reset State Machine means a reset of some state machines only. When the last byte of
Reset command is FFh, the OV529 must stop the current job and perform this Reset command
immediately.

DATA (FFFFFF0Ah)
The C329 sends this command to pass the length of the stored image. The following kinds of data
must be preceded by Data command to provide the data length information. Length byte 0 is Least
Significant Byte (LSB), and Length byte 2 is Most Significant byte (MSB
).

Length
Image Length = len 0 + Len 1 * 100h + Len 2 * 10000h
SYNC (FFFFFF0Dh)
The host sends this command to start a synchronization sequence.
ACK (FFFFFF0Eh)
This command is a handshake command to indicate that previous transaction was succeeded.
Command ID
The received command ID.
ACK Counter
The host and OV529 maintain their own ACK counters. After transmitting an ACK command, this
counter will be increased by 1.
NAK (FFFFFF0Fh)
This command is a handshake command, which indicates corrupted transmissions or unsupported
features.
NAK Counter
The host and OV529 maintain their own NAK counters. After transmitting an NAK command, this counter will be
increased by 1.
Error Number
The error condition number
QUALITY (FFFFFF10h)
The host sends this command to select image quality level. Image quality level only effects
Compression related images. No influence on image of bypass mode.

Command Implementation
Power On & Power Off
OV529 camera system requires around 1 second from power off to next power on. After power on,
the camera requires around 1.2 second for firmware load from EEPROM and system wake up.
SYNC
The Remote System sends a SYNC command and awaits and ACK, the C329 then sends out it's
own SYNC and the Remote system is expected to respond with an ACK as shown below.
Commands
The Following commands respond with ACK: INITIAL, RESET, SNAPSHOT, POWER OFF and
SELECT IMAGE QUALITY as shown below.

Code Implementation
Here is an example of how to SYNC with the C329:
•
Send Get SYNC command. (FFFFFF0D00000000h)
•
Wait 25ms
•
Did we get ACK (FFFFFF0E0Dnn0000h)? If NO repeat above command up to 60 times.
•
Did we get SYNC? If NO repeat above.
•
Send ACK command.
Here is an example of how to establish communication with the C329 for the first time:
•
Set Remote Baud Rate to 14,400 bps
•
Get SYNC
•
Change C329 Baud Rate with command (FFFFFF0100870107h)
•
Set Remote Baud Rate to new BAUD (921,600) in this example.
•
Get SYNC
Here is an example of the commands required to quickly capture and transfer an image
form the C329 to an embedded system:
•
Establish communication as above.
•
Send command INIT ( FFFFFF0100870107h)
•
GET ACK (FFFFFF0E01nn0000h)
•
Send command SELECT IMAGE QUALITY (FFFFFF1000000000h)
•
GET ACK (FFFFFF0E10nn0000h)
•
Send command GET PICTURE (FFFFFF0405000000h)
•
GET ACK (FFFFFF0E04nn0000h)
•
GET ACK (FFFFFF0AnnL0L1L2h)
•
GET Image Data
