Circuit Valley’s CHC5 is a modular camera system based on a Core board powered by an AMD/Xilinx Zynq-7020 SoC FPGA, a range of interface boards with USB, HDMI, or Ethernet (PoE), various sensor boards, and a metal enclosure. The solution can be customized with different lens objectives and different sensors with MIPI D-PHY, LVDS, Sub-LVDS, Low Voltage LVDS, or SLVS interfaces. The Zynq-7020’s Cortex-A9 cores can handle complex tasks, while the FPGA fabric takes care of high-speed calculation and correction on the image, and can also be leveraged for  AI/machine-vision-specific algorithms or complex low-latency hardware acceleration. CHC5 specifications: Core board SoC – Xilinx AMD Zynq-7020 SoC FPGA CPU – Dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 processor FPGA – 85K logic cells, 4.9Mb Block RAM, 220 DSP slices System Memory – 1GB DDR3 Storage 1 Gbit flash memory MicroSD card slot ISP – Full-fledged ISP implemented on FPGA fabric Multiple interface boards with 10Gbps [...]
