Crosslink-NX VIP Sensor
Input Board
Assembling the Demonstration Hardware
This board will only work when used as part of the Lattice Embedded Vision Develop-
ment Kit (EVDK). It is designed to be pin compatible with the Crosslink VIP Input
Bridge Board. Follow the steps below to prepare the hardware before applying power.
Remove Crosslink VIP Input Bridge Board from EVDK, replace with Crosslink-NX
VIP Sensor Input Board. Connectors J5 and J4 of the Crosslink-NX VIP Sensor
Input Board connect to J10 and J11 of the ECP5 VIP Processor Board.
Mount cameras to camera connectors (CN0, CN1, CN2, and CN4).
Mount camera sensor support piece and stick camera backs to piece.
The assembled hardware will look like the picture below:

Congratulations! You have successfully demonstrated the 4 to 1 Image Aggregation
demo on the Crosslink-NX VIP Sensor Input Board. This demo is intended to
show basic functionality of the kit as shipped. This kit can be reprogrammed and/or
connected to additional hardware (available separately) to demonstrate a number
of bridging solutions. To learn more about these solutions and download full
documentation for this kit, including schematics for all the boards, visit the Lattice
