Chameleon96™-Vision

Intel® Cyclone® V based 96Boards with Basler® Industrial LVDS Camera for Computer Vision.

Equipped with an 110K LE FPGA with a Dual-Core Arm® Cortex® A9 and an Industrial LVDS Camera, Chameleon96™-Vision is a credit-card sized computer board that has the computing capability for real-time image processing and embedded vision algorithms. The Vision add-on board features an 5MP LVDS interface industrial camera with an ambient light sensor and ‘mobile phone’ type 3X accelerometer. The -3X version features a high-end 3X accelerometer and 3X gyroscope (only with the -3X version). The Chameleon96™ meets all 96Boards mandatory specifications (excluding MIPI SDI Interface) and most optional specifications. The Chameleon96™ features Dual Arm® Cortex®-A9 processors, an FPGA fabric, and a set of peripherals that allow direct interfacing and connecting to MMC/SD card, HDMI out, USB, WLAN/BLE, I2Cs, UARTs, SPIs and GPIOs.
