Sensor Fusion for Firefighters Summary
At the end of October 2022 I was selected to participate in the Experimenting with Sensor Fusion Challenge sponsored by element14 and Xilinx.
Since we received the SP701 evaluation kit, it has been two months of...
By incorporating a low resolution thermal imaging overlay using the MLX90640 thermal array, we have already integrated all the sensors planned into the system.

We added a hardware accelerated compass synthesized from C in Vitis HLS to our environmental HUD monitor on the AMD Xilinx SP701 development board. We have tested two different magnetometers: the ST's LSM9DS1 of the Digilent PmodNAV module and ...
The project is progressing well. I added some sensors to be able to monitor the environment through the heads-up display. I also built a customizable module with Vitis HLS to display up to 16-digit virtual seven-segment display modules overlaid on th...
Summary and Current Status My entry for the Experimenting with Sensor Fusion from Element14 and AMD/Xilinx Design Challenge is a Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) platform for navigation of indoor spaces. This is an ambitious proj...
In this blog, I rebuild from scratch the demo application from the Spartan-7 SP701 FPGA Evaluation Kit Demo Project designed by Adam Taylor (adamtaylorcengfiet). The challenging element of that project is to show a Heads-Up display during the live br...
