Embedded Vision Development Kit Eyes Mobile Apps On The Edge

Lattice Semiconductor’s Embedded Vision Development Kit embarks as the first-of-a-kind development kit optimized for mobile-influenced system designs that require flexible, low cost, and low power image processing architectures. Leveraging a mix of Lattice’s FPGA, ASSP and programmable ASSP (pASSP) products in a single, modular platform, the kit provides the right balance of flexibility and energy efficiency required for a variety of embedded vision applications in the industrial, automotive and consumer markets. Combining the CrossLink pASSP mobile bridging device, ECP5 low power, small form factor FPGA, along with its high-bandwidth, high resolution HDMI ASSP, it accelerates development of intelligent, vision-enabled devices at the edge.

 

The CrossLink input board includes dual-camera HD image sensors supporting the MIPI CSI-2 interface, eliminating the need for external video sources. The ECP5 base board enables low-power pre/post processing and includes support for HD image signal processing (ISP) intellectual property (IP) from Helion Vision. Also included is a NanoVesta connector to support external image sensor video inputs. The HDMI output board based on the Sil1136 non-HDCP version enables connectivity to standard HDMI displays.
