i-Chips FPGA Development Board for Image Processing Circuits

i-Chips has rolled out the new iEB-KXU2 is a 4K 60Hz input/output FPGA development board.i-Chips Input output FPGA development board the volt post

The new input/output FPGA development board by i-Chips targets the development of real-time image processing circuits. The image input and output of the FPGA development board interface is HDMI 2.0.

Easy-to-handle LVDS is used for image input and output of the i-Chips FPGA. By using the included register compiler* and register access tool (WREG2400.exe) in i-Chips input/output FPGA development board one can focus on the original development without worrying about developing and debugging peripheral circuits.

*The register compiler is a tool that generates FPGA internal control registers and SPI I/F from a definition table.

Image Input/Output Interface

    • Image Input
? HDMI2.0 (up to 4K60Hz) x 4?Non HDCP?
    • Image Output
? HDMI2.0 (up to 4K60Hz) x 4?Non HDCP?

i-Chips Control Interface

    • FPGA control
? Controlled by SPI from PC via USB (Type-C or Mini-B) ,or controlled by SPI from an on-board microcontroller (LPC1769: Main control) ,which is switched by a DIPSW.
    • FPGA configuration
? Download mcs etc. from a PC to the SPI Flash via USB(Micro-B).
    • HDMI Tx/Rx control
? Controlled by I2C from the on-board microcontroller(LPC1769: HDMI control only).
