Introduction
The PolarFire® Ethernet Sensor Bridge is part of Nvidia's Holoscan Ecosystem and extends multi-protocol signal conversion to NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin™ AGX and IGX developer kits via Ethernet.
The sensor bridge is based on Microchip's power-efficient PolarFire Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), MPF200T-FCG784. It has two 10G SFP+ Ethernet ports that connect to the Jetson AGX Orin and IGX developer kits and two MIPI CSI-2 receive ports for connecting cameras. The included FMC slot provides expansion options for protocols like Scalable Low-Voltage Signaling with Embedded Clock (SLVS-EC), CoaXPress, JESD 204B, Serial Digital Interface (SDI), and so on. The sensor bridge also has DDR4 for frame buffering and SPI Flash for enabling field upgrades.
The following table lists the Ethernet Sensor Bridge (ESB) kit contents.
