How to build pylon applications on Raspberry Pi

This application note explains how pylon applications can be built on a Raspberry Pi ARM board.

The procedures described assume you are using the following hardware and software components:

• Raspberry Pi 4
• Raspbian operating system
• Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit) PC
• pylon 6.1 Camera Software Suite installed on the Windows PC
• Basler GigE Vision camera or Basler USB camera

In a step-by-step tutorial, you will learn how to:

• Configure the Basler GigE Vision or USB camera for use on a Raspberry Pi
• Establish a connection between the Basler GigE Vision or USB camera and the Raspberry Pi
• Install the pylon for Linux ARM package
• Build and run pylon ARM applications directly on the Raspberry Pi board
• Grab your first images using the Raspberry Pi and a connected Basler GigE Vision or USB camera
