17 light-years away lies Altair, a star in the Aquila constellation. Altair is the short-form transliteration of Al-Nisr Al-Ta'ir (النسر الطائر) or "The Flying Eagle"; a predator known for its excellent vision.
The Altair is an FPGA development board focused on image processing, specifically, stereoscopic depth calculation enabled by two MIPI camera connectors. The board implements XAPP894 since MIPI is not supported natively by Zynq 7000. The development board is built around the MYC-C7Z010_20 SOM. This board is also my graduation project/thesis for my Mechatronics Engineering degree.
NOTE: THIS BOARD IS NOT TESTED YET
This board is built with the MYIR MYC-C7Z020-V2 SOM. MYIR documents can only be downloaded after providing the serial number of the MYC-C7Z020-V2 purchased, unfortunately, I can't share mine. Most MYIR hardware documents can be downlodaded from this repository. I haven't included software documents/code because the file size is too big however you can probably find them online elsewhere.
AltairNotes PDF contains my notes I have written over the ~2 years I have been working on this project. Some information is basic stuff about PCB routing and some information documents how I have configured and routed my board. I combined software and hardware PDFS into PDF files ending in "COMBINED" so you can easily search for what you want.
I have also created a YouTube series that talks about the design which can be seen here.
Not all references are included because I'm not sure if they can be shared directly, however, you should be able to just search for them and download them from their official source.
