This document pretends to be a user manual to the Awaiba ORION evaluation kit . The ORION eval kit is demonstration kit is a two-board system used to evaluate the Awaiba ORION 1K and 2K line CMOS image sensor. The kit consists of the CMOS image sensor and a circuit board containing all support circuits necessary to operate the CMOS image sensor.
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 2 System Overview The evaluation kit is composed of two boards, one off-the-shelf USB-FPGA interface and another one specific to the Orion sensor. Figure 2: ORION interface board Legend Orion sensor: 1K or 2K FX3 USB 3 controller reset button...
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit Figure 3: FPGA – USB board functional Diagram The off-the-shelf USB/FPGA board is an embedded module featuring a XILINX™ SPARTAN-6 FPGA in conjunction with the CYPRESS™ FX3 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface controller. Main Features: USB3.0 SuperSpeed interface through versatile CypressTM EZ-FX3 controller •...
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 3 Operating Instructions The kit is factory adjusted and operational when received. This section lists recommended equipment, basic operational instructions, include signal voltage level requirements, options that are factory selected but that are easily modified by the user.
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 3.3 Auxiliary pixel settings This sensor has the unique feature of have two pixel sizes option available for the user. Basically the user can choose between a small photo diode pixel 10 um x 10 um, and larger one with 10 um x 200...
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 3.5 Test Mux Signals reading In order to check the test mux channel, it possible to access that particular signal from the pad indicated on the figure. Figure 4: OPTO Head Board pin out assignment Legend...
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 3.6 Readout Implementation The readout implementation on VHDL takes the 8 LVDS on OPTO/ORION 2K and 4 LVDS on OPTO/ORION 1K outputs and combines them two by two in order to have the 4/2 buses: Segment1_A + Segment1_B (for OPTO/ORION 2K and 1K) and Segment2_A + Segment2_B(for OPTO/ORION 2K only).
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 4 Evaluation Software The evaluation system comes with the USB evaluation unit that receives data from the FPGA- Module with one or more sensors and the windows software to run the camera on a PC in real-time.
5.3 How to Use Awaiba Line Viewer Please take a look into page 13, section 4.2, on Orion Viewer Quick Start file. 5.4 How to Debug Orion USB3 board If you can not receive images, this section can help you to debug the board.
Secondly, start the USB Control Center (CyControl.exe). You should have two end points as shown in figure 7. Figure 7: Orion USB3 Endpoints list Then, click the Bulk out endpoint (0x01) and on the Data Transfers tab, write the commands, as...
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit 23 06 02 00 20 C9 0D • 23 06 02 00 27 A2 0D • Figure 8: Write to endpoint 0x01 After this, you should see a LED blinking on the USB3 board. Please start the streamer program with the 0x81 endpoint, 32 packets per Xfer and 16 Xfers to Queue.
Orion USB3 Evaluation Kit Figure 9: Streamer example data from endpoint 0x81 If you have around 100300 KB/s, then the transfer rate is good, and you are receiving all the data from the sensor. If the data is lower than that, you should use a USB3 PCI adapter.
