“This technical article at LinuxDevices.com describes
the use of Embedded Linux in the design of the Elphel Model 303
High Speed Gated Intensified Camera. The device combines a fast
gated micro-channel plate (MCP) image intensifier, a CMOS image
sensor, and an embedded computer based on an Axis ETRAX RISC
processor running Embedded Linux. These three ingredients made it
possible to create a compact, ultra-fast (10 ns exposure, +/- 0.8
ns jitter) camera complete with an Ethernet interface and built-in
webserver.”
