Setting up the Hardware

Setting up the hardware involves interfacing the camera sensor module and the HDMI monitor with the PolarFire SoC Video kit.

To set up the hardware, perform the following steps:

  1. Connect the camera sensor module at J10 on the Video kit.
  2. Ensure that the jumper settings on the Video kit are set, see the following table.
  3. Change the Jumper setting for J28 to Close and J57 to Open from their default jumper positions listed in the following table.

    The following table lists the default jumper settings.
