About The System

These Goggles have been made in partnership with Fat Shark and are sold under both the Fat Shark and Walksnail brand.

They are both compatible with the Walksnail Avatar HD VTX and offer identical functionally.

Important SOC Images Notes

The main chipset used in Avatar HD is Artosyn AR9201/AR8211. This is a similar chipset to the DJI P1 being an CPU and RF base band all in one with Arm cores and Ceva LTE ISP. This chip is not the same as DJI’s though and is believes to be developed separately from the DJI P1 and S1. Both Chipset share a lineage to chipsets from Leadcore such as the LC1860C as used by DJI and others in the past all based of china inhouse designed SOC for use smartphone and tablets based on LTE Ceva ISP’s.

It is also worth noting that DJI has worked with Artosyn in the past on their RF systems and we have suspicions after the fall of Leadcore DJI may have worked with Artosyn to help develop their own SOC. DJI has worked with Artosyn in the early days of Lightbridge and Ocusync development and may have even contributed to the P1 and S1. While there is some possible heritage between the chipsets they are not compatible with each others systems in any way.

Both Chipset share a lineage to chipsets from Leadcore such as the LC1860C

In early samples the main SOC is labelled as a Xilinx Virtex 5 XC5VLX50T – FFG1136FGU2033 – AC4284883A1 2C however this is a obviation attempt.

Based on code samples and SOC package it a Artosyn RF Chipset, the AR9201/AR8211.
