Demonstration Application Designs
PolarFire® SoC H.264 Video Compression Design
The PolarFire SoC video kit comes pre-programmed with an out-of-the-box video compression demonstration using H.264. It showcases the input of a full HD video stream, which is processed and compressed within the FPGA fabric and then run through FFMPEG running on Linux® on the RISC-V® subsystem.
PolarFire® FPGA 4K Dual Camera Video Design
- MIPI® CSI-2® RX to read the 4K dual camera input
- Color Filter Array (CFA) to Red, Green, Blue (RGB) conversion
- Display controller, Picture in Picture (PIP)
- Output via HDMI® 1.4 TX port, 4K video output via HDMI 2.0 TX port
- Edge detection, image enhancements, histogram plot of live video
PolarFire® FPGA SLVS-EC™ Design
This design demonstrates how the IMX-530 camera sends SLVS EC RX data to the PolarFire video kit. Image processing includes Bayer interpolation, gamma correction and enhancement IPs to refine the raw camera image. The camera input video is displayed on an HDMI® monitor through the HDMI 2.0 TX port, supporting full HD resolution. A GUI unifies image enhancements such as contrast, brightness and color balance across all video outputs.
Generate and Display MIPI® CSI-2® Video
With two designs for a two-lane MIPI configuration for full HD video and a four-lane configuration for 4K video at 120 fps, you can learn how to generate MIPI CSI-2 video and display the video on a Raspberry Pi® 4 Model B using the PolarFire® Video Kit and MIPI Transmit FMC card.
PolarFire® FPGA 12G-SDI Design
A PolarFire device converts real-time video data from a dual camera sensor (over MIPI® CSI-2®) is to a YCbCr 422 format and transmits it using the 12G-SDI IP over the 12G PolarFire FPGA transceivers. This data loops back to the PolarFire device via an SDI daughter card and is displayed over HDMI® 2.0.
USXGMII
A test module transmits Ethernet traffic to the USXGMII IP on the PolarFire® device through a multi-gigabit Ethernet PHY (10 Gbps/5 Gbps/2.5 Gbps/1 Gbps). This data loops back to the test module through the PHY where it checks for and displays CRC error information.
PolarFire® FPGA 12G CoaXPress® GenICam® Design
This updated Generic Interface for Cameras (GenICam)-compliant design is interoperable with standard frame grabbers. A PolarFire device converts real-time video data from a dual camera sensor to CoaXPress data using the MIPI® CSI-2® interface and then transmits this data over a coaxial cable to a CoaXPress device board to a second PolarFire device.
