STMicroelectronics quickly brings automotive image signal processing to market with High-Level Synthesis
The STMicroelectronics® Imaging division is responsible for delivering innovative imaging technology and products to the consumer, industrial, security, and automotive markets. The team has crafted a unique High-Level Synthesis (HLS) flow, enabled by templates, that brings these products quickly to market. For the automotive market, this flow complies with the ISO 26262 standard to ensure reliability. This paper covers how the team uses their HLS flow to design and verify an image signal processing (ISP) device, getting it to market as fast as possible.
