FG600-MIPI FPGA PXIE BASED MIPI FRAME GRABBER

FG600-MIPI is an FPGA based imaging solution using FMC-MIPI module. The hardware is in PXIe form factor. This solution capture images or video from MIPI CSI2 camera /image sensor via FMC-MIPI module and displays it on the host screen, as well as being able to file the incoming frames for later inspection. FG600-MIPI comprises a  PXIe700 carrier card with an attached FMC-MIPI, and a MIPI camera adapter card. The hardware needs to be connected to a suitable host via PCIe interface and the host must run Windows 10 OS for the operation of Sundance DSP’s host side driver and application. The PXIe700 carrier card offers 4 lanes of Gen2 PCIe for host communication. The FMC-MIPI board has a Lattice MachXO3L FPGA for converting MIPI CSI2 image data to parallel image data with frame valid, line valid and pixel clock. For interfacing the image sensors, an adapter card is used. Two image sensors can be connected to the adapter card. The HPC FMC-MIPI module comes with two Lattice MachXO3L FPGA and includes2 MIPI CSI2 input interfaces with 2 lanes converted to two 10-bit parallel interfaces. The IP core for converting the MIPI incoming serial data to parallel dat is included and pre-loaded to the FMC-MIP FLASH memory.
