8 Mega Pixel Digital Camera Package with FMC interface (P0449)

Description

Terasic D8M-FMC is a 8-megapixel camera kit with a FMC low pin count connector interface. It includes a MIPI camera module, MIPI decoder, and HDMI-TX.

The MIPI camera module captures image and sends it out in a MIPI video signal package. This packet is converted in a 10-bit parallel Bayer pattern through a MIPI decoder. The data is transmitted through a FMC connector. The MIPI camera module has a built-in Voice Coil Motor (VCM) to control its focal length. Users can adjust it via I2C interface. The D8M-FMC also includes a HDMI-TX for deveopers to display the processed video image on a monitor with HDMI input when the FPGA main board has no display capabilities.

The FMC connector is the standard expansion interface defined in VITA 57.1. Any main boards with a FMC connector can interface with D8M-FMC.

Terasic D8M-FMC kit also includes camera capture and display reference designs. It comes in two versions. One is RTL code only and the other one uses components such as Altera VIP in Qsys. It enables users to rapidly be familiar with the operation of the camera module and develop custom applications based on these examples.

Block Diagram

The functional block diagram of D8M-FMC is shown above. MIPI Camera Module sends the video captured to MIPI Decoder via MIPI link. MIPI Decoder converts MIPI Video Data to parallel data and output to the main board through a FMC connector. The parameters of the MIPI Camera Module and MIPI Decoder can be configured by FPGA via I2C interface. For instance, number of output pixels from MIPI Camera Modules, RGB gain, position of focus, PLL of MIPI Decoder, and parameters of Video MIPI Decoder etc.

The D8M-FMC also includes a HDMI-TX for deveopers to display the processed video image on a monitor with HDMI input when the FPGA main board has no display capabilities.
