The dart USB Evaluation Kit includes a dart USB camera module, while the dart BCON for LVDS Development Kit includes a dart BCON camera module with a BCON for LVDS interface and a processing board based on a Xilinx Zynq system-on-chip (SoC). Both kits also come with a lens, cables, and the pylon Camera Software Suite. Additionally, development kits that feature dart camera modules are also available for Intel® Programmable Solutions Group (formerly Altera®) FPGAs through partners AAEON and Critical Link.
