Seeking Some Special Roadtesters for the UltraZed-EV

rscasny

I am considering to roadtest the UltraZed-EV board. The UltraZed-EV is a highly flexible, rugged, System-On-Module based on the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. It's ideal for embedded video processing system development.image

 

In order to roadtest this board, I've discussed with the sponsor what kind of roadtester he needs and any specific requirements as well. Out of those discussions, I've come to the conclusion I need a special roadtester -- someone who has video experience and has the ability to write a quality technical report.

 

Specifically, these are the things the sponsor is looking for in a roadtester:

 

  1. Video Centric (preference to designs using interfaces without an Avnet reference design)
  2. External pieces (Video/PCIe/SATA/SFP+/etc.) should be COTS and readily available
  3. Utilize VCU (optional)
  4. Prefer staying within bounds of VCU TRD (see point 1)
  5. Have fun, show something exciting and new! (AI/ML?)

 

If you are interested and have these requirements, please leave a comment and I'll get back to you. Or, you can message me at

 

 

(BTW: If you are new to roadtesting, and are selected, you would receive the UltraZed-EV at no charge to you. I'll give you more info later.)

 

Sincerely,

  • Due to time constraints I really can't apply for this beast of a board. Will drop in a question here though - 

    In the Video Processing module I am doing in college, we have been taught there are two big stages in the video pipeline - Compression(reducing the size of a video file) and Post-processing (things like Bayesian probability and motion estimation [Stochastic math]). I am sure the VCU can do (de/)compression, but what about the post-processing bit?  Where does an FPGA come in here? I have done quite a lot of work on FPGAs so hit me with all the jargon you guys got!

    The VCU is a hardened HECV. H265 decode encoder so if you're familiar with Video codecs you'll find that motion estimation is an inherent part of the algorithm. On H265 search for P-Frames , i-Frames to get an idea.
