Overview
The CoaXPress boards support a 12.5G CoaXPress PHY and include ready to use reference designs for quick prototyping. Microchip’s CoaXPress FMC daughter card is the hardware evaluation platform for evaluating and testing the CoaXPress protocol. The daughter card works with the PolarFire Video Kit which features the PolarFire FPGA device. This kit needs to be purchased separately. The kit is purpose-built for effortless prototyping of popular imaging and video protocols including MIPI CSI-2 TX, MIPI CSI-2 RX, HDMI 1.4 TX, HDMI2.0, DSI, and HD/3G/6G/12G SDI. With a 300K logic element (LE) PolarFire FPGA with DDR4 and SPI-flash the kit is ideally suited for mid-bandwidth imaging and video applications.
Key Features
Device side
- 12.5g CoaXPress PHY
- 100k LE PolarFire device in FCSG325 package
- Amphenol FCI connector
- 1 Micro BNC Connectors –TX
- JTAG – programming (FP4)
Host side
- 12.5g CoaXPress PHY
- HPC FMC Connector
- 1 Micro BNC Connectors – RX
To evaluate the CoaXPress solution, a three-board hardware set up is utilized. A device board with onboard PolarFire device (MPF100T-1FCSG325I) and a CoaXPress PHY transmits high- resolution image data to the host. The host-side board utilizes a high-speed FMC connector to plug into the PolarFire Video Kit. Both development boards are required and have to be purchased separately.
