Board adapts MIPI CSI cameras to Nvidia Jetson Orin

Microchip has introduced a board that adapts MIPI CSI based cameras to Nvidia’s Holoscan ecosystem – its Jetson AGX Orin and IGX Orin developer kits in particular.

The board, called ‘PolarFire FPGA Ethernet sensor bridge’, has two 10Gbit/s SFP+ Ethernet ports that connect to the Nvidia kit and two MIPI CSI-2 receive ports for cameras.

An FMC slot provides expansion options for protocols including SLVS-EC, CoaXPress, JESD 204B and SDI.

There is also on-board DDR4 for frame buffering and SPI flash for field up-grades.

Nvidia Holoscan helps the development and deployment of AI and high-performance computing applications at the edge for real-time insights,” said Microchip. “The platform includes libraries for data processing, sample AI models for AI inference pipeline development, template applications and core microservices to run streaming and imaging.”
