Original Press Release:
DesignCore® Interface Card has 16 Camera/Sensor Channels to Speed AI System Development with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit
Features High-Speed SerDes Input via Texas Instruments FPD-Link™ III Interface, Power-Over-Coax, and On-Board FPGA for Hardware-Level Synchronization
Rochester, NY – March 14, 2019 - D3 Engineering today announced its new DesignCore® sensor interface card for the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit. The new card allows engineers to quickly connect multiple cameras or sensors with their NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit to access its full power for system development.
D3 Engineering will demonstrate its DesignCore NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier FPD-Link III Sensor Interface Card at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in San Jose March 18-21, 2019.
“The new DesignCore sensor interface card allows engineers to take advantage of the incredible compute power of Jetson AGX Xavier by easily connecting up to 16 streams of input data,” said Jason Enslin, product manager for embedded vision at D3 Engineering. “This speeds development of advanced AI robotics and autonomous applications for manufacturing, delivery, retail, agriculture, and more.”
Sensor data is delivered via a serial link and is de-serialized into MIPI CSI-2 data for consumption on the Jetson AGX Xavier Developer Kit. This allows the sensors to be placed up to 15 meters away from the processing unit. GPIO and I2C control are available for configuration and reset. An on-board FPGA provides hardware-level synchronization capability.
