Trion® T20 MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 Development Kit

Efinix's Trion T20 MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 camera prototyping platform helps users to quickly and easily prove project architecture and debug designs

Image of Efinix's T20 MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 Development Kit Block Diagram Efinix® presents the Trion T20 MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 development kit, a camera prototyping platform enabling interconnect to industry-standard camera/module solutions. The kit allows users to easily create a module based on their targeted vision sensor. The cost optimized, low power Trion T20 device used in this kit incorporates two fully enabled MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 pre-engineered transmit/receive hard blocks. These Trion family members are ideal for applications that need to interface with the latest MIPI CSI-2 v1.3 camera sensors with enough programmable logic to handle image processing functions, merging/overlay, or analysis in a single device (manipulate, interpret, or analyze). With this board, users can quickly and easily prove their architecture and debug their design implementation. Applications include prototyping for machine vision, drones, robotics, surveillance, wide-field cameras (180/360), IoT, non-vision cameras, presence detection, consumer, and edge intelligence.

With the purchase of the Trion development kit, customers receive a single-seat license for the Efinity® software with one year of software maintenance, including updates and upgrades. The Efinity software provides a complete tool flow from RTL design to bitstream generation, including synthesis, place-and-route, and timing analysis. It has a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a visual way to set up projects, run the tool flow, and view results. The software also has a command-line flow and Tcl command console. The software-generated bitstream file is used to configure the Trion FPGA on the development board with a custom design.

The purchase of this Trion development kit also includes access to the Efinix support center, which contains links to documentation, software, code examples, knowledgebase, and forum.
