“Lattice is pleased that our ECP3 family of FPGAs helped Google realize their Project Ara vision by providing critical flexibility and functionality to implement the MIPI UniPro protocol in each module in the MDK,” said David Rutledge, chief technology officer, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation. “MIPI UniPro protocol is an ideal networking solution for Project Ara modules due to its application-agnostic, multi-master capabilities and providing high data rates and low energy per transferred bit. Lattice ECP3 FPGAs are an ideal platform for Project Ara with MIPI UniPro implementation because of its programmable flexibility, small form factor (10mm x 10mm) and low power consumption. This combination enables Google’s team to innovate ‘at the speed of mobility’ in order to deliver the MDK in record time.”

“MIPI UniPort-M is already used for mass storage with JEDEC UFS and for Camera with MIPI CSI-3. The Ara program will open new innovation opportunities that will leverage the usage of MIPI UniPort-M,” said Ariel Lasry, chief engineer at Toshiba Electronics Europe. “MIPI UniPort-M is the best in-class interface to enable easy-to-use, reliable and low-power modular Smartphone architecture.”
