Overview

The DC8000 Display Processing family is designed specifically for Wearable, MCU, MPU, and Mobile applications that need hardware UI displays and effects. It is absolutely essential for building efficient mobile and embedded systems targeting the next generation of displays to meet rising consumer expectations for appealing UI. Vivante DC8000 Display Processing IP provides a range of low-power and high-performance display cores that can be used for reading rendered images from the frame buffer. In addition to providing hardware cursor patterns, the display processing performs format conversions, dithering, and gamma corrections.

Addressable screen sizes range from the smallest wearable devices, IoT devices, cell phones to 4K resolutions. Vivante DC8000 Display Processing IP is designed for easy integration onto the SoC, providing powerful UI, graphics, video at the lower power consumption and the smaller of silicon footprints.

The whys and hows of secure boot

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which now span just about every walk of life, from smart cities to wireless jewellery, the need to prioritize security in IoT-style embedded systems has never been greater. The secure boot process is a vital first step in securing any embedded system, a necessary part of your application’s anti-malware fortress. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons, with a focus on one of the most popular processors in electronics – the i.MX6.

Motion Picture: a Reality on Emulation Platform

In present day’s situation, whenever we are in the phase of designing a cluster SoC, we have no reliable way of verifying our design in real case scenarios, or showcase the possibilities of our design through any demos. This, sometimes, paves way for critical design bugs which requires re-spins/cuts.

Sequential clock gating maximizes power savings at IP level

In this paper we talk about design exploration using the PowerPro tool. For analysis of power optimization based on this tool, we have included Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) and cluster IPs with high speed processing requirements. These IPs have multiple complex operation requirements within a clock period, making them ideal candidates for power saving. The IPs under consideration are image processors, high-speed bus fabrics for a memory controller, display controllers, and video codecs.
