Introduction

The DisplayPort Rx IP is designed to receive video signals from DisplayPort Rx sources, making it ideal for PolarFire® FPGA applications. This IP core adheres to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) DisplayPort Standard 1.4 protocol. For detailed information on the VESA protocol, see the official VESA documentation. It supports standard data rates of 1.62 Gbps, 2.7 Gbps, 5.4 Gbps, and 8.1 Gbps for display applications.

This application note demonstrates the usage and running of the imaging and video demo using the PolarFire Video kit, with a Host PC and a DisplayPort Rx (for more information about DisplayPort Receiver IP, see DisplayPort Rx IP User Guide). The demo design showcases a fully integrated solution developed using Microchip’s Libero® System-on-Chip (SoC) software, enabling customers to evaluate PolarFire FPGA for smart embedded vision applications and rapidly build prototypes.

The following figure highlights the features of the PolarFire Video kit.
