Xilinx嵌入式处理器解决方案-EDK9.2
Time is aprecious resource, whether a designer is racing to gain access to premium price pointsonthe rising edge of a new market window, scrambling to incorporate last-minute changes to accommodate emerging standards, or squeezing every secondoutof a product life cycle. Building on a flexible hardware platform provides the remarkable capacity to reduce time to market, time to standards implementation, and time to debug and repair, while staving off the natural erosion of product life through commodity valuation, and ultimately, obsolescence.
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are all about flexibility. The ability to accommodate change, whether to augment, adapt or amend, diversify or differentiate electronic system designs,sets the FPGA apart from all other design platforms. In a world where change is the axiomatic constant that rewards those who are nimble, the FPGAcanturn time into an asset rather than a cost, and change into an advantage rather than a burden.
Facing Change with Options
The bestwayfor designers to prepare for change is to arm themselves with options. The FPGA has always provided those options through the programmability of its hardware, but embedded processors have opened an entirely new set of opportunities to the designer. By integrating most of an embedded system including the processor, peripherals and glue logic into a single chip, embedded designers can reduce total system cost, power and board space by reducing component count. Integrating custom coprocessors on the FPGA can also help accelerate performance-critical portions of their design. Moreover, Xilinx embedded processors and pre-verified IP cores allow designers to focus their efforts on creating differentiated value, thereby getting to market with initial products in time to extract maximum return from diminishing market windows.
The Latest in Xilinx Embedded Processing
In response to the evolving requirements of its target markets, Xilinx has substantially enhanced its embedded processing capabilities by upgrading every aspect of its embedded processing solutions, including processors, peripherals, and system architecture, while drastically simplifying their usage through intuitive hardware and software tools delivered as part of Embedded Development Kits (EDKs).
This next phase in the evolution of FPGA-based embedded processing solutions delivered with EDK v9.2 targets two key customer-focused goals: making software development easier and enabling rapid design of high-performance embedded systems.
