In keeping with our theme of free stuff (see Embedded Technology Journal, January 27, 2009) we proudly chronicle the newest free alternative for embedded developers: a free Linux-compatible microprocessor. Never has so much been offered to so many for so little. Or something like that.

Here’s the deal. Altera, the world’s second-best-known FPGA company, has struck a deal with Wind River Systems, the world’s second-best-known embedded-software company, to port Linux to Altera’s NIOS II processor. … Read More → "Free Linux Microprocessor*"

Today’s complex, high-pin-count FPGAs present a special problem for board designers as issues of timing, routability, cost, and signal integrity can defeat old-school “over the wall” design flows.

In this Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Hemant Shah of Cadence about about bridging the gap between FPGA design and PCB design.

Dual-Processor FPGA Designs Made Easier

by Bryon Moyer

March 2, 2009

Thinking of using multiple processors on FPGA-based systems? Join Amelia Dalton as she demystifies dual-processor development with Rey Archide of Xilinx.

The webcast explains how to manage the challenges associated with placing one or more processors in an embedded-system-on-FPGA. FPGAs are becoming very popular platforms for embedded systems designers, and Xilinx has a rich portfolio of tools and IP … Read More → "Dual-Processor FPGA Designs Made Easier"
