New Product Innovations
Performance and integration for a range of applications
- Single-chip SoC which includes an ARM dual-Core Cortex-A9MPCore processor with very high-performance flexible accelerators in programmable logic
- Dual-core 800Mhz Cortex-A9 MPCore processor and common peripherals
- Off-the-shelf and custom accelerators and peripherals can be called by the processor to accelerate key functions by up to 10 times faster
- High-bandwidth interconnect eliminates CPU/accelerator and accelerator I/O and memory path bottlenecks
- Ideal for applications with common high-performance requirements such as Automotive Driver Assistance, Intelligent Video Surveillance, Wireless Communications, Industrial, and more
ARM-based architecture and ecosystem maximizes productivity and eases development for software developers
- System boots an OS at reset to enable quick start
- Can run a variety of operating systems (OS) such as Linux, WindRiver’s VxWorks, Micrium’s uC-OSII and others
- Familiar ARM environment and Connected Community ecosystem eases development
- Leverages legacy code already developed for ARM-based systems
- Utilizes vast off-the-shelf open source and commercially available software component libraries
- Hardware abstraction layer simplifies interface between Cortex-A9MP Cores and custom accelerators and peripherals
- Drivers and APIs provided for a common set of accelerators and peripherals
On-chip custom accelerators and peripherals enable new applications and differentiated products
- Tightly integrated programmable logic supports off-the-shelf and custom accelerators and peripherals enabling:
- Application-optimized performance for a given price, power, or cost
- Lower cost, power, or size for a given performance parameter
- Scalable architecture enables system designers to create a range of products based on a common platform
- Products optimized for different performance, cost, power and functionality profiles by flexibly partitioning between hardware and software using a common architecture
- Unique combination of custom and/or off-the-shelf accelerators and peripherals provides for ultimate system differentiation and gain competitive advantage
- Open standard interconnect and interfaces enabled by AMBA-4
and AXI 4 - ARM connected community and Xilinx ecosystem of providers delivering accelerators and peripherals
- Open standard interconnect and interfaces enabled by AMBA-4
