What is OcPoC

640

The Revolutionary SoC Flight Controller

OcPoC (Octagonal Pilot on Chip) is the SoC FPGA-based open-source flight control platform engineered to bring you greatly enhanced I/O capabilities and processing power that is unparalleled by any other platform of its class. Including the traditional sensor options for common peripherals, OcPoC also expands its input and output capabilities to include fully programmable PWM, PPM and GPIO pins to integrate with a vast number of different sensor additions. It also includes many other standardized connectors for peripherals such as GPS, CSI camera link and SD card. Drone developers can integrate various sensors and have the processing power to not only run ArduPilot but also implement real-time processing of sensor data simultaneously. OcPoC opens the door for drone development to the next level.

OcPoc Cyclone

Aerotenna was the first to introduce flight control systems based on SoC technology. Partnering with Intel®, Aerotenna developed and released OcPoC with Altera Cyclone with an industry-leading 100+ I/Os for sensor integration, and FPGA for sensor fusion, real-time data processing and deep learning. Together with Aerotenna’s μ series microwave radars, OcPoC unleashes your drone to achieve safe and reliable autonomous flying, and allow the drone industry to grow unhindered by processor limitations.
