Lattice Semiconductor CertusPro™-NX Sensor-to-Ethernet Holoscan Kit

Lattice Semiconductor CertusPro™-NX Sensor-to-Ethernet Bridge Board Holoscan Kit enables developers to design sensor-to-compute connectivity for Edge AI systems rapidly. Developed by Lattice in collaboration with NVIDIA, the solution simplifies and accelerates the deployment of intelligent edge systems that must connect diverse sensor interfaces and protocols to AI compute platforms.

The Lattice Sensor Bridge Reference Design is implemented on the CertusPro-NX Sensor-to-Ethernet Bridge Board and supports low latency, flexible sensor configuration and interfacing, and Ethernet packetization. The Holoscan Kit pairs with the NVIDIA Holoscan Sensor Bridge to provide programmable system control, configurable FPGA IP, and a full-stack data acquisition and processing solution for NVIDIA IGX Orin and AGX Orin platforms.

The kit is ideal for Edge AI applications that require scalable sensor streaming, flexible sensor interface support, and efficient data movement from FPGA sensor interface ports to DRAM. The included API supports streaming DMA, control interfaces, a transport abstraction layer, ConnectX Smart NIC acceleration with GPUDirect RDMA, Linux sockets, and sensor and driver integration.
