HSBKITxM

Overview

HSBKITxM (Holoscan Sensor Bridge) provides a FPGA based interface for low-latency sensor data processing using GPUs. Peripheral device data is acquired by the FPGA and sent via UDP to the host system where ConnectX devices can write that UDP data directly into GPU memory. This software package based on nvidia official HSB v2.2.1 package and add supports for SENSING HSB cameras with Lattice Holoscan Sensor Bridge device.

Download Tool Usage

DownGit allows you to download specific folders or files from GitHub repositories without cloning the entire repository:

  1. Copy the GitHub repository URL from the "Download Link" column
  2. Open DownGit in your browser
  3. Paste the repository URL into the input field
  4. Click "Download" to get a ZIP file containing the SDK
  5. Extract the ZIP file to your desired location

This method is particularly useful when you only need the SDK files without the full Git history.

Quick Bring Up

  • Please first complete the "Host Setup" described on extensive user guide

  • Clone this software package onto device

  • Enter the software package path and execute the command "sh docker/build.sh -igpu" to build the Holoscan Sensor Bridge container

  • Execute the following command at the device terminal to getinto the demo container
