Our Case Studies on Lattice-Based Designs

Bootloader Development

 

We developed a bootloader for the NX FPGA family with the support of the external QSPI flash memory in Quad SPI mode to speed up application copying. The SDRAM IP core was adapted to the NX architecture to be used with the RISC-V synthesisable core.

 

Frame Synchroniser Development

 

We designed a system on Lattice chips to synchronise SDI from 270 Mbit to 12 Gbit, based on a 676-pin FPGA with x32-bit memory (DDR4).

Key feature: 10-layer 1.3mm thick PCB with the standard loss FR-4 material, the Via-in-Pad technology.

Other case studies: 

Video Decoding and Output to TFT Panel

 

Within our services in Lattice-based development, we created a cost-effective video processing solution on low-cost Lattice ECP chips, including FPGA firmware to receive video streams from various sources via Ethernet/DSI/HDMI.

Key features: FPGA-embedded Gigabit Ethernet switch + converter of parallel video interface to LVDS/CSI.

Interfaces: video parallel RGB | LVDS display | CSI + SDI

Implementation of AI Algorithms

 

Here are the AI algorithms we implement in the video surveillance systems:

  • Face detection, recognition,  tracking
  • Licence plate recognition, 2/4-wheeled vehicles
  • Driver behaviour monitoring & assistance
  • Motion detection, line crossing, virtual fences, exclusion/invasion zones
  • People counting, discriminated people counting
  • Capacity control, people loitering, crowd detection
  • Objects left and objects detection

Now 

Ongoing Cooperative Projects

Promwad is refining the IP bootloader and working on the FDR4 project with the Lattice Semiconductor company.

Our Collaborative Event

Promwad and Lattice development teams collaboratively participated in the Embedded World 2023 exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany. At the event, we showcased our joint capabilities, the projects we worked on, and our engineering approach to real-time traffic and resource monitoring in urban spaces.

This exhibition allowed us to strengthen our partnership, gain valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies, and connect with other industry professionals.
