CXP Host & Device

Single code base supports both Host (frame grabber) and Device (camera) configurations with build-time switchable top-levels sharing the sublayers.

1× / 2× / 4× lanes

Scales from single-lane CXP-12 to quad-lane aggregation with lane bonding, alignment, and deterministic skew compensation.

AXI-Stream ready

Image and control paths expose clean AXI4-Stream / AXI4-Lite interfaces for DMA engines like XDMA or LitePCIe.

Production proven

Delivered and tested on Xilinx ZCU106, KCU116, and the Aper-Oculus carrier with working camera/host reference designs.
