Holoscan Framework | ||||||||||
The Holoscan Sensor Bridge is a board from Lattice Semiconductor and NVIDIA. The board provides low-latency sensor data processing using an FPGA interface and the Holoscan NVIDIA software. The main idea of the Holoscan is to provide the data directly into the host device's memory. Hardware CompositionThe Sensor Bridge board comprises three main parts, as described below.
Host Devices SupportedThe Holoscan Sensor Bridge communicates the sensor with the host system at low latency. Currently, the board supports two different NVIDIA systems: NVIDIA IGX Orin and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Developer Kit. Software CompositionThe Holoscan Core is an AI sensor processing platform for hardware systems for low-latency sensing and network connectivity.
Holoscan Software API brings into two flavors for the user: Holoscan C++ API and Holoscan Python API. Use Cases for Low LatencyNowadays, low latency devices are one of the most demanding fields of study due to the vast number of applications that need to work as quickly as possible to achieve the goal of why they were built. The main objective of the Holoscan Sensor Bridge is to work as a low-overhead image transmitter; some use cases are described below.
Comparative with other solutionsHigh-speed interfaces and low-latency applications have been approached with many solutions over the years. A device like a PCIe card, a peripheral connected to a computer's motherboard, creates a high-speed interface to graphics cards, network devices, and storage controllers. The Holoscan Sensor Bridge have some advantages over the PCle, such as:
Other solutions involve the Jetson Bridges, part of NVIDIA's robotic application platform. They are similar to Holoscan Sensor Bridge, which works with an NVIDIA host device and uses AI software to optimize data. An advantage of the Holoscan Sensor Bridge over the Jetson Bridge is the use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays, which opens the possibility to improve or adapt the card to the specific goal for which the device is built. Besides, the Jetson Bridges are usually built for one specific task and are complex to adapt to another one.
