IMAX+ camera prototype as a teaching resource for calibration and image processing using FPGA devices

This work presents a prototype camera that has been used in a research project and is intended to be used as a teaching resource. The most relevant parts of the instrument are an image sensor and an Artix-7 FPGA. The development of the camera firmware in the FPGA has several items concerning the design methodology based on this technology. The development of the camera firmware in the FPGA has several items concerning the design methodology based on this technology. The development of the camera firmware in the FPGA has several items concerning the design methodology based on this technology. Thus, the possibility of using this prototype as a teaching resource constitutes an opportunity for students to learn FPGA technology with a real and current device developed for a leading astrophysical mission.
