CamBLink 1394b Development Kit for Digital Cameras

The CamBLink is the first product in the ATRA Vision family of customized embedded IEEE-1394b Link Layer Controllers.

It may be used as a flexible prototyping platform for developing custom 1394a/1394b applications.

Link Layer Controller IP Core

The Link Layer Core is designed according to IEEE standard for a High-Performance Serial Bus (IEEE Std 1394b -2002).

It is designed for low cost Xilinx Spartan FPGA family and optimized for design requirements of 1394 Trade Association's IIDC Digital Camera Specification, V1.30.

With this core, a designer can build customized, bilingual, 1394a/1394b Digital Camera, with maximum packet speed of 800Mbit/s.

Fully Verified and Tested with CamBLink Development Board.

Development Board

The CamBLink Development Board is a powerful prototyping platform for developing and debugging custom 1394b applications.

It allows a designer to quickly evaluate performance of 1394b Link Layer Controller IP core.
