Overview

Extensible FPGA Framework (EFW) provides a verified set of productivity
solutions, including module targeted physical interface components, device
drivers and APIs for the Xilinx’s KC705 module.
EFW enables the end user to skip the tedious and time consuming phase of module bring-up by providing module targeted and hardware verified physical interfaces for the KC705. Thus, an end user can concentrate its design and development efforts on target applications instead of the module specific details.

Key features

  • Framework includes KC705 hardware verified RTL blocks for:
  • Field Upgradeable (FUp) flash controller for in-system field upgradeability of the FPGA image through PCIe interface
  • x4 and x8 PCIe Gen2 hard IP block with PCIe application interface and arbiter
  • AXI4-Lite master/arbiter for distributed control and configuration of various EFW blocks
    • 1600 Mbps DDR3 controller
    • MDIO and I2C controllers
    • DRP controller for run-time control and configuration of the transceivers
  • Time limited (15min) synthesizable binaries and full simulation libraries for KC705 hardware verified Ethernet solutions up to 40Gbps:
  • 40Gbps Ethernet using the optical interface FMC (HTG-FMC-SFP-OC) with QSFP+ interface
  • 10Gbps Low Latency Ethernet using the integrated SFP+ interface 10/100/1G Triple-Speed Ethernet using the integrated RJ-45 interface
  • Time limited (15min) synthesizable binaries and full simulation libraries for KC705 hardware verified Multi-channel (4) scatter-gather block DMA controller
  • All modules with industry standard AXI-4 streaming interface for data path and AXI-4 Lite interface for control, configuration and memory interface
  • Top level RTL interface wrapper for custom user design block for easy implementation of user logic
  • Linux device drivers and API for PCIe interface
  • A single unified GUI for the entire EFW with custom scripting support

Cortex-M And Classical Series ARM Architecture Comparisons

ARM has introduced many processors. Each set or groups of processors are having different core and different Features. A new entrant or Designer to the ARM can make use of this paper for easy understanding and choose a processor that is well suited for the requirements. This paper gives brief comparison of the Architectures.

DDR2 Signal Integrity

This paper highlights a typical design approach that can be adopted for an embedded PC (X86 based) board memory subsystem using a VIA VX700 system controller DDR2 interface. Boards with this chipset can feature either an Intel Pentium processor or VIA processor on front side bus (FSB).

Extreme partitioning

Small changes in the initial design of a complex embedded system can often have an unpredictable outcome and have a significant impact on the final system performance
