SimpleLink™ CC3220-OV788 Audio/Video Streaming Reference
1 Introduction
1.1 System Description
This software reference combines TI wireless technology with OmniVision A/V technology to enable live
streaming of audio and video data over Wi-Fi®. This is an integrated solution demonstrating the ability of
the CC3220 to provide a full system solution for audio-video streaming applications.
1.2 System Block Diagram
Figure 1. System Block Diagram
1.3 System Operation
On boot-up, the CC3220 application initializes the OV788 by loading its firmware and sending commands
to configure the settings of the device. In parallel, the CC3220 begins connecting to an access point. After
the AP connection, the CC3220 then opens an RTSP server on the local network, and waits for RTSP
clients, such as media player applications, to connect and request live streams.
The CC3220 does not buffer video or audio data, but rather sends them out immediately over the network
when received by the OV788. Thus, any latency seen in the video stream is mostly due to buffering on the
part of the streaming client application. In a dedicated use case, this could be reduced by the system
developer by using a custom application instead of using open source.

2.2 Omnivision OV788 Reference Board
The OV788 reference board V3 contains an OV788 and connectors for a sensor and optics board. The
sensor board to be mounted should contain an OV9732, because the firmware loaded to the OV788 by
the CC3220 (dsif_slave_9732.bin) is specific to this sensor. Mount the sensor on the board as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3. Omnivision OV788 Reference Board
Some ECOs may need to be performed on the OV788 reference board to ensure the correct boot mode is
employed, and that reset lines are connected. Verify the following, and make ECOs if necessary:
• Remove R121
• Remove R30
• Populate R136 with 0 Ω
• Populate R29 with 0 Ω
• Populate R31 with 100 Ω
• Populate R32 with 100 Ω

If the onboard regulator for the 3_6V line does not supply 3.6 V, additional changes must be made. The
voltage from the 3_6V regulator can be measured from header J2, pin 12. If the measured voltage is not
3.6 V, make the following changes:
• Change R46 to 200 kΩ
• Change R47 to 40 kΩ
If using the Omnivision PIR and LED board, this enables the OV788 to sample sound from the onboard
microphone. The sound is sampled directly by the OV788 for this reference. The audio data is sent to the
CC3220 over the SPI interface with the video data. Currently the microphone is the only functional
component on this board.
There are some hardware considerations when using this:
• Mount a microphone on MIC2
• To reduce interference and get the best audio quality, twist the cable to the Omnivision reference
board tightly, as shown in Figure 4.

2.3 BOOSTXL-OV788ADAPT
The OV788 adapter booster pack is used to connect the CC3220-LAUNCHXL to the OV788 reference
board. This board provides voltage-level translation between the Launchpad, which operates at 3.3 V, and
the OV788, which operates at 1.85 V. The OV788 reference board is mounted on the camera adapter
board using the 12-pin 1.27-mm pitch headers. Connect the boards together as shown in Figure 5.

2.4 Hardware Setup With LaunchPad Only
NOTE: For this setup, a wire must be connected to the 5-V supply on the CC3220 LaunchPad and
soldered to TP3 on the OV788 reference board to correctly supply power to it.
The adapter board does not supply 5-V power, as the connectors on the Omnivision board do not have a
line for 5 V.
Mount the adapter on the CC3220 LaunchPad, ensuring the VCC and GND pins are aligned, then mount
the OV788 board on the adapter, aligning the GND and power pins.
Set up the demo as shown in Figure 6.

2.5 Hardware Setup With RS232 Debug Board
Omnivision’s RS232 debug board is an optional board containing a UART to USB converter, used to get
UART debug information from the OV788. Connecting the RS232 debug board supplies 5 V power to the
Omnivision reference board. Mount the adapter on the CC3220 LaunchPad, ensuring the VCC and GND
pins are aligned, then mount the OV788 board on the adapter, aligning the GND and power pins. For this
setup, do not connect a wire for 5-V power from the CC3220 LaunchPad to the OV788 reference board,
as doing do may damage the components.
Set up the demo as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. RS232 Debug Board Setup
For this setup, ensure the ribbon cable orientation is correct. The Omnivision debug port has the following
settings:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None

3.1 Programming the CC3220 LaunchPad
For the software to run correctly, the CC3220-LAUNCHXL must be programmed with a firmware binary file
for the OV788 and the latest service pack for the CC3220. Directions for programming are:
1. Under File, select Service Pack, and browse to the service pack in the most recent CC3220 SDK:
<CC3220 SDK>\tools\CC3220_tools\servicepack-cc3x20\
2. Add a new folder named user.
3. In the new user folder, add the file dsif_slave_9732.bin located in the folder <CC3220
SDK>\source\third_party\ov788\. Name this file ovt_firmware.bin, as shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Uniflash File System
4. To program the CC3220 binary:
a. Add the file <CC3220 SDK>\tools\CC3220_tools\certificate-playground\dummy-root-ca-cert. Note
use of "dummy" certificates is for development only.
b. Select Action, and Select MCU image as the CC3220 binary file located in <CC3220
SDK>\examples\rtos\CC3220S_LAUNCHXL\demos\video_streaming_ov788\freertos\iar\Debug\Exe
.
c. Use dummy-root-ca-cert as the certification file, and <CC3220
SDK>\tools\CC3220_tools\certificate-playground\dummy-root-ca-cert-key as the private key.
