Hello,
We are currently developing a HoloScan Bridge Board and utilizing the Holink protocol for communication between the FPGA (HoloScan Sensor side) and the Host (NVIDIA IGX/Jetson).
While reviewing the latest distribution files and the provided architecture diagrams, we noticed that a UART module appears to be included in the RTL/firmware package.
However, the standard Holink ECB (Ethernet Control Bus) block diagrams primarily highlight I2C, SPI, and GPIO controllers within the Control Plane Logic.
I would like to verify the following points:
- Official Support Status: Is UART officially supported as a standard peripheral under the Holink ECB framework?
- Software Integration: Are there existing SIPL or UCSI driver extensions, or sample applications within the HoloScan SDK, that demonstrate how to interface with this UART module via ECB packets?
Our goal is to use this UART interface for [insert your specific use case, e.g., external MCU communication or sensor calibration]. Any guidance on whether we should rely on the current UART implementation for production, or if it is still in a pre-alpha/internal testing phase, would be greatly appreciated.
