Summary

The Q7 Camera Board is a daughterboard for Xiphos’ Q7 hybrid processor card. The Q7 Camera Board allows the Q7 to be inserted into existing systems with high-bandwidth video or imagery streams. High performance image processing algorithms can then be executed on the Q7 with an optimal combination of tightly integrated CPU and programmable logic resources.

The Q7 Camera Board card offers the following key features:

  • 2x Camera Link (2x Base, or 1x Medium, or 1x Full) interfaces
  • 4x SpaceWire interfaces
  • 4x USB2.0 Master ports, serial and GPIOs
  • Multiple Vcc Out (5.0, 3.3 & 1.8V)

Interfaces cannot all be used concurrently – details of configuration options are available upon request

The Q7 Camera Board is designed to be versatile. It supports several different camera interfaces and is designed in a small form factor to fit most spacecraft and payload volume constraints.

The Q7 Camera Board can be used as a development platform and then as a reference design for flight applications.

Xiphos also offers a range of ancillary services for Q-card customers including additional hardware and firmware development, software hybridization and Linux driver/API & application software development.
