3Done!
Congratulations! You have successfully demonstrated the Object Detection demo on the
CertusPro-NX Voice and Vision Machine Learning Board. This demo is intended to show
the basic functionality of the kit as shipped. This kit can be reprogrammed and/or connected
to additional hardware to demonstrate a number of solutions. To learn more about these
solutions and download full documentation for this kit, including schematics, visit the Lattice
website at: https://www.latticesemi.com/certuspro-nx-vvml-board.
Development with the Lattice CertusPro-NX FPGA is supported by Lattice Radiant
Software. You can learn more and download the latest version from the Lattice website at

Press Play/Pause button to start the video playback. Press it again to pause the video
playback. The video loops until the app is closed or Play/Pause button is pressed.
Press Open Camera button to get the feed from the board’s camera to display in the
app window. If the board is detected, video from the board will be displayed as shown
below. If the board is not detected, it will show a message to check the connection of
the board.
Hold the board in such a way that the camera is facing the video playing on the monitor.
The demo output contains the bounding boxes for detected objects in each frame and
it displays the cumulative count of objects detected on the display.
