Interfacing AER devices to SpiNNaker using an FPGA

Follow me on GitHub

Introduction

This wiki page contains a collection of resources needed to interface AER sensors with SpiNNaker through a bidirectional inter-chip SpiNNaker link using an FPGA.

Resources

This application note describes the implementation of an interface between Address-Event Representation (AER) devices and the SpiNNaker system using an FPGA.

This document describes the cabling and protocol for AER boards.
