Introduction

CoaXPress, an interface predominantly utilized for connecting devices, especially cameras, to hosts such as frame grabbers, is a key component in this demonstration. It comprises a master connection and optional extension connections that collectively form a link. In the CoaXPress v2.0 protocol, each connection supports a data rate of up to 12.5 Gbps.

The technical demonstration of the PolarFire® CoaXPress Video operates seamlessly with the PolarFire Video Kit, CoaXPress FMC host, Dual camera sensor module, CoaXPress FMC device, and an HDMI monitor. This document serves as a comprehensive guide to facilitate the execution of the demo. The design of the demo represents a fully integrated solution crafted using Microchip's Libero® SoC Design Suite.

The implementation incorporates GenICam technology, providing a unified API and GUI for exposing various camera features. Each feature is abstractly defined, encompassing its name, interface type, unit of measurement, and behavior. The GenICam standard prescribes the methodology for creating a camera XML description file that delineates the device's features.
