Python 1300 Video Sensor Evaluation Platform for TE0720-03-2IF SoM on TE0701-05 Carrier

Key features

This application note describes HW platform performing edge detection and motion detection video processing for ON Semi Python 1300 colour video sensor with fixed resolution (1280x1024p60).

Arm Cortex A9 processor of Xilinx Zynq is performing initialisation and synchronisation of the video processing chain. Program and the FPGA image is downloaded to the board from the Xilinx SDK 2015.4 via USB JTAG to the 1GB DDR3 located on the Zynq system on module. System can be also started directly from the SD card. Arm processor initiates the IP cores in the programmable logic (PL) part of the Zynq. It also initiates the Python 1300 video sensor and the HDMI video output to monitor with fixed resolution 1280x1024p60.

  • Raw video data are provided by the Python 1300 video sensor.
  • Data are processed into the YCrCb 16 bit per pixel format and stored by Video DMA (VDMA) to input video frame buffers (VFBs) defined in the DDR3.
  • HW DMA controller(s) send data from the input VFBs to the processing accelerators in PL.
  • Another DMA controller(s) send processed data from HW to the output VFBs in DDR3.
  • Second part of the VDMA is sending data to the HDMI display with resolution 1280x1024p60.

Evaluation license:
