1 System Description

The Multi-Sensor Platform Reference Design for Texas Instruments™ Jacinto™ TDA3x Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Processors is based on the DesignCore® TDA3x Starter Kit for ADAS from D3 Engineering. The kits from D3 Engineering are two-part solutions consisting of a processing system on module (SOM) and an application-specific baseboard. This reference design is for an application-specific baseboard. This reference design provides qualified developers all the design material to create a fully functioning evaluation platform for testing and development of ADAS applications, for use primarily in the automotive industries and will assist in shortening development time of FPD-Link III based vision and sensing systems.

Both the completed baseboard and the TDA3x SOM is contained in the full TDA3x Automotive Starter Kit from D3 Engineering. The kit comes ready to use out of the box and includes the processor module, application specific baseboard, power cables, and software. Camera modules, radar modules, displays, calibration tools, and other system components can also be purchased from D3 Engineering to quickly build up a system to support many ADAS use cases. The base support package provides optimized and verified hardware and advanced vision software frameworks to use as a known-good launch point for design and development. The kit also includes a single-use sublicense for all Texas Instruments™ and D3 Engineering firmware and application code.

Throughout this document, the DesignCore® TDA3x Starter Kit may be referred to simply as the TDA3x system or TDA3x module.
