1 Project Summary
The AXIOM Beta currently features PCIe x1 connectors on the main board which are capable of transferring data at a rate of 6Gbit/s or more. Several high speed plugin modules like HDMI, DP or SDI can be plugged into these thereby providing additional functionalities.Currently, the AXIOM Beta lacks a USB 3.0 interface for direct transmission of RAW video data to a connected PC for recording/streaming purposes. This project is about implementing a USB 3.0 gearwork using the LVDS connection exposed by the PCIe connectors for streaming 4K 12-bit video at 25 FPS. There is no aftermarket solutions for high speed LVDS to USB 3.0 conversion. Only 16/24/32-bit parallel data to USB 3.0 bridges are available. Hence, a USB 3.0 plugin module has been designed by apertus° featuring a MachXO2 Lattice FPGA and FT601Q/FT602 FTDI IC for this purpose.
