USB 3.0 Plugin Module Gearwork
1 Project Summary
The AXIOM Beta currently features PCIe x1 connectors on the mainboard 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 an 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 an USB 3.0 port.
