Overview
Smallest and lowest power DSP for narrowband wireless communications and always-on applications
The Cadence® Tensilica® Fusion F1 DSP offers the lowest energy, small footprint, high-performance control and signal processing best fit for narrowband wireless communication, always-on, IoT, and wearables applications. The Fusion F1 DSP is very efficient in running communications standards typically associated with IoT device communications, such as Bluetooth LE, Thread, and Zigbee using IEEE 802.15.4, SmartGrid 802.15.4g, WiFi 802.11n and 802.11ah, 2G and LTE Category 0 release 12 and 13, and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). The Fusion F1 DSP also is suitable for designs in voice trigger, voice recognition, face trigger, context-aware sensor fusion, and similar applications.

The automotive sector is undergoing a profound transformation, moving beyond basic detection to a comprehensive, real-time 3D understanding of both the external environment and the vehicle's interior. ToF is emerging as a pivotal technology, offering precise 3D depth and distance information essential for navigating complex environments and understanding in-cabin dynamics.
With the growing popularity of applications such as mobile gaming and voice triggering, the audio/voice subsystem is playing a prominent role in many mobile system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The subsystem must be designed to meet dual demands: high-performance, high-resolution audio stream processing as well as always-on, low-power voice trigger and recognition. Customizable digital signal processing (DSP) and audio/voice subsystem solution intellectual property (IP) blocks can provide a cost-effective and efficient way to develop and deliver high-performance audio/voice products.
This blog shares the AXI4 locking mechanism when implementing an Xtensa LX-based multi-core system on a Xilinx FPGA platform. It uses a dual-core design mapped to a KC705 platform as an example.
