What is a MIPI to USB converter?

A MIPI to USB converter bridges MIPI CSI-2 camera output to a USB host as a UVC device. The tinyCLUNX33 SoM by tinyVision.ai is a production-ready 25.4mm module based on the Lattice CrossLinkU-NX33 FPGA, supporting up to 7 concurrent MIPI camera streams at 3.5 Gbps.

What is the tinyCLUNX33?

The tinyCLUNX33 is a 25.4 x 25.4mm MIPI-to-USB System on Module by tinyVision.ai using the Lattice CrossLinkU-NX33 FPGA. It runs RISC-V and Zephyr RTOS. Available in two variants: Connectivity (14 differential pairs) and Compute (6 differential pairs plus 32MB SSRAM for onboard image processing).

How do I connect a MIPI camera to a USB host?

To connect a MIPI camera to a USB host you need a MIPI-to-USB bridge. The tinyCLUNX33 Developer Kit by tinyVision.ai is the fastest path: connect a 2-lane MIPI camera via an adapter board, plug in USB-C, and the device enumerates as a standard UVC webcam with no custom driver required. For production, the tinyCLUNX33 SoM integrates into your own carrier board.

What FPGA development boards does tinyVision.ai make?

tinyVision.ai makes the pico2-ice ($49.99), which combines a Raspberry Pi RP2350B with a Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA on a single board, and the UPduino v3.1 ($36), a standalone Lattice iCE40UP5K FPGA board used in university digital logic courses worldwide.

What industries does tinyVision.ai serve?

tinyVision.ai primarily serves medical device manufacturers, industrial automation companies, robotics developers, and UAV manufacturers with MIPI-to-USB hardware and embedded vision engineering services. For education they supply FPGA development boards to universities including UCLA and the University of Washington.

What engineering services does tinyVision.ai offer?

tinyVision.ai offers MIPI to USB system design, FPGA RTL development on Lattice devices, Zephyr RTOS firmware, custom PCB board design, camera driver development, AI/ML edge integration, and full prototype-to-production engineering support.
