FG-650CL-Polarfire is an FPGA-based imaging solution that supports BASE, MEDIUM, FULL, and Extended FULL CameraLink compatible cameras. The hardware is a PC plugin card but can also be used in an embedded fashion. The solution offers 4 lanes of Gen2 PCIe for host communication. An FMC-CL Cameralink FMC card is attached to the base card for interfacing with the cameras.
| Interface | FG650-Polarfire | Number of Cameras +(option) |
| Base CL | √ | 3 |
| Medium CL | √ | 1 |
| Full CL | 1 | 1 |
| Extended Full CL | √ | 1 |
| 2 x SATA-3 | √ |
The FG650CL-Polarfire has a variety of I/O capabilities – x2 SATA connectors for real-time storage of image frames ( SATA IP core is not included). The presence of a free FMC site gives a system developer the ability to add different functionalities to this hardware through the many available FMCs from various vendors or by adding another FMC-CL to support four Bases or 2 of the Medium, Full or Extended mode cameras.
FG650CL-Polarfire is based on either the Microchip Polarfire MPF300 dev kit or Sundance DSP SE201 or SE301 with an installed with a SOM1-MPF300 or 500 device.
