USB 3.0 Plugin Module Gearwork
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. The AXIOM Beta lacked a USB 3.0 interface for direct transmission of RAW video data to a connected PC for recording/streaming purposes. In this project, I wrote all the HDL code for gearwork of the USB 3.0 plugin module (designed by apertus°) so that it can transfer live 4K video data at 20+ FPS from the LVDS lanes exposed by the PCIe connectors on AXIOM Beta main board to the connected PC by use of a USB 3.0 port.
