The Lattice mVision™ solutions stack for low power embedded vision design provides the hardware and software needed to accelerate and simplify the implementation of embedded vision for the industrial, automotive, compute, and consumer markets.
The Lattice mVision solutions stack was named ‘Best in Show’ in the Development Tools and Operating Systems category by leading electronics publishing company, Open Systems Media.
The low-power and reliable FPGA ecosystem is an ideal fit for current and future applications including ADAS systems in cars, edge-inferencing products in smart home platforms, and HMI industrial IoT (IIoT) systems. Features are as follows:
- Video Interface Platform (VIP) – modular hardware development boards with support for a variety of video and I/O interfaces commonly used in embedded vision applications (including MIPI, LVDS, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB, and others). The VIP development boards currently support Lattice FPGAs including CrossLink™, ECP5™ and CrossLink-NX™, based on the Lattice Nexus™ platform.
- Comprehensive IP Library – the Lattice mVision solutions stack includes a wide selection of ready-to-implement IP cores for interfacing to MIPI and LVDS image sensors, image signal processing pipelines, common connectivity standards like USB and Gigabit Ethernet, and display standards such as HDMI, DisplayPort, and GigE Vision.
- Lattice FPGA Design Tools – the stack supports both of Lattice’s easy-to-use FPGA design tools, Lattice Diamond® and Lattice Radiant®. The tools help accelerate and simplify the programming of Lattice FPGAs by automating many common design tasks.
- End-to-end Reference Designs – to further accelerate system development, Lattice mVision offers complete reference designs for common embedded vision applications including sensor bridging, sensor aggregation, and image processing.
- Custom Design Services – for customers requiring assistance to get their embedded vision systems to market, Lattice has developed a network of design service partners who can support a range of customer needs, from developing individual functional design blocks to complete turn-key solutions.
