1 Overview

1.1 Introduction
The Hi3518E V20X demo board is a demonstration board that is developed based on the
HiSilicon media processing chip Hi3518E V20X. It is used to demonstrate powerful
multimedia functions as well as various peripheral interfaces of Hi3518E V20X, and provides
the hardware reference design based on Hi3518E V20X to help customers shorten the product
development cycle.
The Hi3518E V20X demo board can serve as a basic development system by connecting to a
PC through the serial port cables and network port cables. The following devices or
components are required for implementing a complete development system or demonstration
environment:
z Display
z Sensor board
z Audio source and sound box
z USB 2.0 device
z RealView-ICE simulator
z Storage devices such as the USB flash drive and the secure digital (SD) card

HiSilicon provides a comprehensive Hi-Boot program, that is, universal boot loader (U-boot). By using
this program, you can implement software debugging in Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) mode
without a simulator.

1.2 Features
The Hi3518E V20X demo board supports the following features:
z One multi-mode video input interface that supports at most 14-bit raw video data, at
most 4-lane mobile industry processor interface (MIPI)/low-voltage differential signaling
(LVDS)/HiSPI data, and BT.1120/BT.656/BT.601 data
z One RJ45 network interface in 10/100 Mbit/s full-duplex or half-duplex mode
z One high-speed USB port
z One RS232 debugging serial port with 1200 bit/s−115,200 bit/s baud rate

3 Operation Guide

3.1 Precautions
The Hi3518E V20X demo board is applicable to the laboratory or engineering development
environment. Take the following precautions before performing operations:
z Take antistatic measures before unpacking the board package or installing the board to
protect the board hardware from being damaged by the electrostatic discharge (ESD).
z Hold the edge of the board. Do not touch the exposed metal on the board; otherwise, the
board components may be damaged due to the ESD.
z Place the Hi3518E V20X demo board on a dry plane and keep it away from heat sources,
electromagnetic interference sources, radiation sources, and electromagnetic radiation
sensitive devices (such as medical devices).
z Familiarize yourself with the layout of the Hi3518E V20X demo board by following
Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2. This ensures that you know the positions of operational
components (for example, the switches, connectors, and indicators) on the board.
z Never perform the hot-plug operation on the board.

3.2 Board Configuration

The boot mode of the Hi3518E V20X demo board is selected by welding resistors. See Table
3-1.

3.3 Connecting the Sensor Board to the Demo Board

Note the following when connecting the sensor board to the demo board:
z Hi3518E V20X can connect to various sensors. The I/O power of the sensors is 1.8 V or
2.8 V/3.3 V. The Hi3518E V20X demo board uses the VI_POWER power provided by
the sensor to supply power to DVDD3318_SENSOR, AVDD3318_MIPI, and
DVDD3318_VI by default. The master chip can automatically switch the I/O level based
on the sensor I/O level to support the two levels.
z The sensor connected to Hi3518E V20X has various interface modes such as
complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), mobile industry processor
interface (MIPI), low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), and HiSPI. The CMOS
sensor can be connected to the demo board only after the definition of the connector is
converted by using the Hi3518EV200SENCONB. The MIPI/LVDS/HiSPI sensor can be
directly connected to the demo board.
