Overview
Critical Link’s MitySOM-A5E system on module serves as the processing engine in this Holoscan Sensor Bridge (HSB) platform. HSB is a low-latency, FPGA-based interface that integrates heterogeneous sensor data for real time GPU based AI inferencing. It simplifies sensor fusion and Edge AI application development.
Key Features of Critical Link’s HSB Solution:
- Agilex® 5 FPGA aggregates sensor inputs
- 8 MIPI 4-Lane CSI-2 camera interfaces
- Dual 10Gb or 25Gb Ethernet transport
- FMC connector for additional sensor inputs
- Direct transfer to any NVIDIA GPU
- Precision timing for HW-based multi-sensor synchronization
- Utilizes production ready, long-lifespan SOMs
Demo units are currently available for this platform. To arrange a demo, contact Critical Link at info@criticallink.com, or contact your local Altera sales person.
