Hardware

• PCB with ~ 54 x 46 mm size and 30.5 x 30.5 mm mount hole distance
• Xilinx Zynq SoC Processor (Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore up to 866 MHz + Artix 7 FPGA fabric)
• MPU-6000 as Gyro
• BMX160 as IMU/Mag
• BMP280 barometer
• 16 MiByte flash and microSD slot
• 256 MiByte DDR3 RAM
• I²C EEPROM
• JTAG debugger interface
• nrFL24L01+ 2.4 GHz Transceiver with SMA antenna connector
• 2x camera connector for stereo video stream (MIPI CSI-2)
• AD9361 SDR RF transceiver chipset (5.8 GHz, 2 x 2 MIMO) to stream digital stereo video with 2x SMA antenna connector
• 4x BLDC motor connection jumpers (DShot600 protocol)
• 1x GPS module connector

FPGA

• DShot protocol peripheral
• MIPI CSI-2 receivers for video streams
• Video compression (H.264)
• Stereo OSD overlay
• Dynamic video data rate adjust (resize, sub-sampling, reduced color space) depending on video signal strength
• VTX modulation with Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (COFDM) (same as used in DVB-T)

Software

• Flight controller on ARM Cortex-A9 with 8 kHz looptime
• Minimum function: acro-mode, level-mode
• Boot from flash, microSD or JTAG (development)
