Incorporating four bands of SRAM memory, this card supports highly parallelized algorithms such as those required for image processing, radar processing and neural network engines. A large reconfigurable Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) onboard the PCI- 104-4000 provides the user with the computational power for applications where a traditional CPU will not get the job done.  Click an Image to Enlarge Operation The AOS PCI-104-4000 utilizes Xilinx Virtex-4 (LX series) FPGA technology. Users can select between three different Virtex-4 LX types (100, 160, 200) depending on the resources required for the application. The LX-200 provides the largest amount of resources to the user in the Virtex family. The PCI-104-4000 also provides a high speed auxiliary bus to allow processed data to be transferred to, or received from, another board (such as the AOS PCI-104-3000) without using the system PCI bus. The high speed auxiliary bus can support a user designed daughter card for interfaces based on the desired sensor input. The four banks of fast memory with a direct interface to the FPGA make the PCI-104-4000 perform image processing and neural network applications where large data sets need to be temporarily stored.

INTERFACES SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE SUPPORT | AOS Real-World Application
In 2009, AOS developed a hardware system designed to process camera data in real-time for six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) state information. The application was autonomously docking a spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). The system AOS developed utilized both the PCI-104-3000 and the PCI- 104-4000. The system was tested in a space simulation facility and demonstrated the ability to provide navigational information required for docking to the ISS.
