FPGAs are driving cars

I told you so

OK, well maybe in not exactly in those words.  Back in 2013, I penned a blog post that asked a rhetorical question “Who would want to connect a camera to an FPGA?”.  My answer was “wait 10 years and see”.  Well, one answer is coming a little sooner than that.  Less than 5 years later, you may have noticed that some automobile manufacturers are putting autonomous vehicles on the road.  These cars have lots of cameras to collect live images from the world around them.  Most of these cameras are high resolution MIPI-CSI2 cameras and they need to run at a respectable frame rate.  How do they aggregate and process all this information?  Hmmm.  What device could stream that much information and process it real-time…?  Yes, FPGAs can and they do it very well.

Since I feel like asking rhetorical questions, what design services company has the experience to integrate the hardware design, FPGA Design, and software design needed to work with technology like this?  Of course its Foresys.  We’ve done it many times and we can help you do the same.
