Atmel’s ARM7-based AT91CAP7E microcontroller includes an FPGA interface, a six-layer AHB (advanced high-speed bus), a peripheral-DMA controller, and 160 kbytes of on-chip SRAM. The FPGA interface ...
Domain Technologies has announced the availability of the industry's first, royalty-free, synthesizable MCS8051 code-compatible microcontroller netlist library and software development kit for use ...
Fig 1. Intel’s E600C blends an Intel Atom processor with an Altera FPGA on a multi-chip package linking the two using PCI Express links. Fig 2. Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 EPP puts a full dual-core Cortex-A9 ...
When I was involved in mainframe design, we dealt with logic gates that would be packed a few dozen per chip. Comparable designs now occur within ASICs and FPGAs. These days, designers turn to off-the ...
Today ahead of the Bay Area Maker Faire, Arduino has announced a bevy of new boards that bring modern features and modern chips to the Arduino ecosystem. Most ambitious of these new offerings is a ...
Tiny Linux computers are everywhere, and between BeagleBones, Raspberry and Banana Pis, and a hundred other boards out there, there are enough choices to go around. There is an extremely interesting ...
Intel refreshed its FPGA line-up with cost-optimized offerings, released its FPGA software stack as open source, and added a new processor design based on the RISC-V architecture. The first of the new ...
FPGAs are reaching deeper and wider inside of automobiles, playing an increasingly important role across more systems within a vehicle as the electronic content continues to grow. The role of FPGAs in ...
