ARM processor-based ASSPs with Programmable Logic – A New Generation of Systems On a Chip

In this session, Xilinx Senior Processor Technical Marketing Manager, Glenn Steiner, and Xilinx Senior Manager of Processing Technical Marketing, Greg Brown, will take a quick look at the history of integration of processor systems with programmable logic, review current and future market offerings, and cover the tradeoffs between the different offerings. Steiner and Brown will also show attendees how to use these products to implement their own custom application specific System On a Chip. 

Thursday, Oct. 27

4:00 p.m. – 4:50 p.m., Room #212

An ARM Processing System with a Flexible FPGA – How the Whole is Greater Than the Sum

During this presentation, Steiner and Brown will briefly review the history of processors in FPGAs and then examine the newest market offerings based on ARM processors. Using real-world examples, Steiner and Brown will also examine the value propositions of having a tight integration of a processor system with programmable logic demonstrating improved system performance, lower effective power, and lower system cost.

Exhibition Demos

Tuesday-Thursday, Oct. 25-27

Zynq-7000 EPP Emulation Platform – Web Server & DSP Co-processing

• Xilinx will highlight high performance processing for medical imaging applications, DSP image processing in programmable logic, and co-processor acceleration of image processing using the Zynq-7000 EPP emulation platform.

Zynq-7000 EPP Emulation Platform – Android & Image Processing

• As well as showing Android 2.2 system inter-operability validation, this demonstration will show the ability of the Zynq-7000 EPP to capture video via an FMC, perform image processing in programmable logic and then display on a customer created FMC.

Linux and Android debug with ARM DS-5

• Xilinx and ARM will exhibit the ARM DS-5 tools debug and profile Linux and Android applications on dual Cortex-A9 processors on the Xilinx Zynq-700 EPP emulation platform.
