Avnet Electronics Marketing Leverages Supplier Ecosystem to Create New MicroZed Embedded Vision Carrier Card Kit
December 09 2014 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Avnet Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc.
(NYSE: AVT), today released a new MicroZed™ Embedded Vision Carrier
Card kit to help engineers more quickly and efficiently deploy
solutions incorporating the versatile and low-cost MicroZed™
System-on-Module (SOM). The kit builds on the MicroZed SOM by
providing a video-specific carrier card, with camera connector, for
optional camera modules featuring image sensors from ON
Semiconductor Corp. and Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc.
(TAEC). Two versions of the kit are now available: the MicroZed™
Embedded Vision Carrier Card kit, without a MicroZed SOM, for users
who already have a MicroZed SOM; and the MicroZed™ Embedded Vision
Development kit, including a MicroZed 7020 SOM and voucher for the
Vivado® Design Edition design suite, device-locked to the Zynq
7020.

Both the Carrier Card kit and full development kit include the
hardware, software and IP components necessary for the development
of custom video applications including video analytics, machine
vision, medical imaging, video surveillance and advanced driver
assistance systems. Optional add-on camera modules supported by the
kit include ON Semiconductor’s new PYTHON image sensor family and
Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) TCM3232PB full
HD (1080p high-definition) image sensor. A camera design guide will
also be included to help customers develop their own camera
modules.
In addition, Xylon, a premier Xilinx IP provider, will make
several reference designs available for the MicroZed Embedded
Vision Carrier Card, including an advanced image processing
solution and face analytics.
“Avnet has been at the forefront of the embedded vision movement
from the very beginning, and our experience has demonstrated that
modern vision applications require a mix of hardware and software
in order to achieve an optimal embedded solution,” said Mario
Bergeron, technical marketing engineer at Avnet
Electronics. “The Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoC
offers an ideal embedded platform for these vision
algorithms. The MicroZed Embedded Vision Carrier Card
leverages the Avnet MicroZed SOM, and adds video specific
interfaces for fast prototyping of embedded vision
applications.”
“The Smart Vision Kit represents both the first complete
reference system kit developed for the industrial security
marketplace using a Toshiba sensor, and our first engagement
pairing one of our sensors with a Xilinx FPGA image processor,”
said Andrew Burt, vice president of the Image Sensor Business Unit,
System LSI Group at TAEC. “In addition, Avnet will sell this
co-developed engineering kit into the open marketplace, expanding
our relationship to the benefit of our mutual customers. We are
excited by the significant growth potential we see for this camera
in the industrial arena.”
“The PYTHON global shutter CMOS image sensor family from ON
Semiconductor offers an image sensing solution that not only
provides appealing levels of speed without compromising image
quality, but is also configurable and flexible enough to provide
simple integration across multiple resolutions,” said Thad Smith,
director of the Image Sensor business unit at ON Semiconductor.
“Leveraging the quality and flexibility of the PYTHON-1300 1.3 MP
image sensor, the MicroZed Embedded Vision Development kit from
Avnet is the perfect tool for design engineers looking to simplify
and accelerate the development of image sensing solutions for
multiple markets and applications.”
“Avnet’s new MicroZed Embedded Vision Development kit increased
our speed to market by making it easy for us to build, integrate
and validate our new smart image signal processing (ISP) pipeline
and video face analytics logicBRICKS IP cores for Xilinx Zynq-7000
AP SoC and FPGAs,” said Davor Kovačec, CEO and founder of Xylon.
“Based on our excellent firsthand experience, we decided to offer
free logicBRICKS reference designs to users of this all-in-one kit
to enable them to jump-start their new smarter vision embedded
designs.”
