DENEBOLA (See3CAM_CX3RDK) - CX3 Reference Design

Denebola (See3CAM_CX3RDK) is a USB3.0 USB video class (UVC) reference design kit (RDK) developed by e-con Systems using the EZ-USB® CX3 USB3.0 peripheral controller from Cypress® Semiconductor. The Cypress EZ-USB® CX3 is a USB3.0 peripheral controller that enables developers to add USB3.0 connectivity to any image sensor compliant with the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) Camera Serial Interface Type 2 (CSI-2) standard.

The Denebola RDK developed using EZ-USB® CX3 is a complete RDK and has the OmniVision® OV5640 CMOS image sensor interfaced to it through a two-lane MIPI CSI-2 interface. This is a fully functional camera RDK that can stream uncompressed 720p60, 1080p30, and 5 MP at 15 fps. Denebola RDK is a two-board solution containing a base board designed around the Cypress CX3 USB3.0 peripheral controller and the camera daughter board designed using the OmniVision® OV5640 CMOS image-sensor-based autofocus camera module. e-con Systems, a Silver level partner of Cypress Partner program, has developed this reference design kit for EZ-USB® CX3 from Cypress Semiconductors.

The Denebola RDK support various CMOS image sensors and e-con provides add-on camera daughter boards that can be plugged on to the RDK. For a complete list of supported CMOS sensors, please viewaccessories tab.
