 Introduction to e-
CAM313_CUMI031C_MOD
e-CAM313_CUMI031C_MOD is a low voltage, small form factor, high performance,
3.01 MP pluggable camera module with S-Mount lens holder. It is based on
automotive grade 1/2.42" ISX031-AAQV-W CMOS image sensor from Sony®. The
standard S-Mount lens holder can accommodate a wide range of lenses based on
the customer choice.

This document is intended for developers who may try to integrate e-con Systems e-
CAM313_CUMI031C_MOD with any host system other than what is supported by e-
con Systems directly. This also provides a detailed understanding of the I2C based
protocol used by the host application processor, for communicating with the
microcontroller provided as part of the e-con Systems e-CAM313_CUMI031C_MOD
camera.

Description
e-CAM313_CUMI031C_MOD is a small, low-power, high performance 3.01 MP
camera module with a built-in ISP. The camera module is based on an automotive-
grade 1/2.42" ISX031-AAQV-W CMOS image sensor from Sony® which is specially
designed to work in automotive grade temperature range of - 40°C to +80°C
ambient. The ISX031-AAQV-W is a 1/2.42" optical form-factor, CMOS image sensor
with an electronic rolling shutter. It can stream 1920 x 1536 and 1920 x 1080 at 30
and 60 fps in uncompressed UYVY format.

The camera module contains on-board microcontroller. The microcontroller will act
as a mediator between image sensor and processor to tune/set the camera
parameters. The microcontroller can be accessed through standard I2C interface and
some GPIOs terminated to control microcontroller firmware update mode.

The MCU protocol corresponding to the 32-byte MCU Firmware Version ID is

ISX031GMSLXXX01110e5e8627XXXXXXX.

Note: This MCU Firmware Version is subject to get updated in the future.

 Camera Operation Sequence
This section describes the basic operation for initiating the stream sequence and
control values using MCU.

The basic operation for initiating the stream sequence is explained below:

• Host processor refers to the application processor, for example, NVIDIA® Jetson
Orin™ or FX3 processors will act as I2C Master throughout this protocol.
• MCU acts as I2C Slave in this entire protocol.
• The I2C Master always initializes every transaction.
• Length of the byte sequence between the MCU and host processor is either
constant or pre-negotiated for each transaction.

Host Processor to MCU Transaction

If a transaction is from host processor to MCU, the host processor will perform the
following I2C sequence:

• I2C start condition.

• 7-bit slave address of MCU.
• Write bit.
• Host processor provides data according to the byte sequence defined for that
specific command. For more details, please refer to the MCU Command
Overview section.
• I2C stop condition.

MCU to Host Processor Transaction

If a transaction is from MCU to host processor, the host processor will perform the
following I2C sequence:

• I2C start condition.

• 7-bit slave address of MCU.
• Read bit.
• MCU will provide data according to the byte sequence specified in the
command.
• I2C stop condition.
Checksum

The checksum is calculated by performing bitwise XOR of the payload data which is
not same as the traditional checksum.

 3. Send Get Command Status command sequence through I2C interface
repeatedly, until the return status code is 0x0000.

The flowchart of changing control values is shown below.

Figure 3: Flowchart of Changing Control Values

Changing Streaming Resolution

To change the streaming resolution, the sequences to be performed are as follows:

1. Follow the steps of Streaming Stop Sequence section if the streaming is already
