Proc10M: Small FPGA Module for High-Performance Embedded Systems

The Proc10M™ is a compact, high-performance FPGA module designed for embedded and edge computing applications. Powered by the Altera Stratix® 10 MX FPGA, it delivers up to 10× higher memory bandwidth than traditional DDR4/QDR systems. Moreover, it integrates 300 GB/s DRAM throughput, up to 128 GB DDR4 on the carrier, and 1,600 Gb/s I/O bandwidth, ensuring seamless integration into high-bandwidth embedded designs while providing exceptional processing capability.

Performance and Memory in the Proc10M Module

Supporting transceiver speeds up to 26 Gb/s and up to 374 FPGA I/Os, the Proc10M offers extreme I/O flexibility for high-speed embedded systems. Consequently, it delivers outstanding data throughput in a compact footprint of 97.4 × 101 mm. Additionally, its robust hardware architecture ensures reliable operation in demanding environments and provides a cost-efficient solution for long-term deployment. Therefore, it is well-suited for applications requiring high bandwidth, real-time processing, and scalable embedded compute.

Small Processing Module with Real-Time FPGA Image Processing

The Proc10M is available as a high-performance FPGA module for embedded imaging systems or as part of a complete Imaging & Vision solution with real-time FPGA preprocessing, image enhancement, and compression options.

The built-in FPGA can process image data directly at the edge, close to the camera interface and before the data reaches the host system. This helps reduce bandwidth, storage, and host processing load while preserving low-latency performance for compact high-speed imaging applications.

Optional FPGA processing includes Compression, HDR correction, Detection, and additional image enhancement modules.

Real-Time FPGA Processing Helps Enable:

• Reduced bandwidth for high-throughput image acquisition
• Low-latency processing directly in the acquisition flow
• Extended recording time through real-time compression
• Lower host processing load by offloading selected tasks to the FPGA
• Custom image pipelines using Gidel IPs or user FPGA logic

Integrated Vision Architecture for Embedded FPGA Processing

Gidel’s vision architecture, implemented on the Proc10M FPGA modules, supports both the InfiniVision multi-camera vision system and the ProcFG deterministic image acquisition system. Together, they address high-bandwidth acquisition, synchronization, buffering, and scalable processing requirements in demanding vision platforms.

InfiniVision enables flexible, synchronized acquisition across large camera arrays and multi-stream configurations, while ProcFG provides a deterministic acquisition model optimized for fixed timing, guaranteed frame capture, and line-scan–oriented pipelines. This dual approach allows Proc10M module to handle multiple high-speed data sources, merge parallel sensor inputs, and maintain predictable real-time behavior under sustained load.

With high-performance FPGA resources, on-board memory, and deterministic dataflow control, the Proc10M module support stable acquisition and real-time image processing at scale. As a result, they deliver reliable and predictable performance in high-throughput, high-resolution vision systems where bandwidth density and timing control are critical.

Flexible Integration Options

The Proc10M integrates easily into diverse system architectures. It can serve as a standalone processing engine or as part of a customized solution featuring FPGA-based enhancement, real-time compression, synchronized acquisition, and advanced I/O control. As a result, the Proc10M provides exceptional flexibility and scalability for embedded vision, sensing, and high-bandwidth applications.

SDK, Development Tools, and Integration

The Proc10M is supported by Gidel’s SDK and ProcVision Suite, providing intuitive GUIs, APIs, debugging, programming, and validation tools. Consequently, developers can rapidly design custom pipelines, optimize FPGA resources, and accelerate integration with reduced engineering risk.

The Proc10M also benefits from Gidel’s advanced DRAM/memory architecture and is fully compatible with Gidel or customer-designed carrier boards, enabling immediate system start-up and rapid prototyping. As a result, teams can shorten development cycles, improve reliability, and accelerate time-to-market for high-bandwidth embedded applications.
