Microchip releases PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge

To enable developers building artificial intelligence-driven sensor processing systems, Microchip (MCHP) Technology has released its PolarFire FPGA Ethernet Sensor Bridge that works with the NVIDIA Holoscan sensor processing platform. PolarFire FPGAs enable multi-protocol support, and this first solution to be released as part of Microchip’s platform is compatible with MIPI CSI-2-based sensors and the MIPI D-PHYSM physical layer. Future solutions will support a wide range of sensors with different interfaces, including SLVS-EC(TM) 2.0, 12G SDI, CoaXPress 2.0 and JESD204B. The platform allows designers to leverage the power of the NVIDIA Holoscan ecosystem while taking advantage of the PolarFire FPGA’s power-efficient technology with low-latency communication and multi-protocol sensor support.
