Company Demonstrates How to Leverage ARM(R) Processors in Actel Flash-based
FPGAs
SAN JOSE, Calif., EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE, March 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Actel Corporation will highlight its
transformation of "hot ideas" into "cool" flash-based field programmable
gate array (FPGA) solutions through booth demonstrations and training
sessions at the 2007 Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), running Tuesday
thru Thursday, April 2-5, at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose,
booth #632.
Visitors to Actel's booth can discover how to utilize ARM processors,
including the "hot" new FPGA-optimized Cortex-M1(TM) processor co-developed
by ARM and Actel, in Actel's nonvolatile, M1-enabled Fusion Programmable
System Chips (PSCs) and ProASIC3 FPGAs.
Actel will also demonstrate its "cool" system management capabilities
and MicroTCA reference design solutions. The Actel System Management
Development Kit, a custom monitoring graphical user interface (GUI) and a
MicroTCA chassis, leveraging Actel's Fusion(TM)-based power module
reference design, will be running in the booth.
Both automated and live demonstrations of the Actel tool suite will
also be available in the booth to demonstrate system builders, compiling,
debugging and many more software features.
Training Sessions
In partnership with Avnet, Actel is offering 90-minute technical
training sessions. The first session details an end-to-end tool flow for
designing Actel FPGAs with an embedded ARM7 soft core. This hands-on
experience will show how to leverage Actel's Fusion mixed-signal FPGAs, the
Actel Libero Integrated Design Environment and SoftConsole software
development environment to create a hardware design for a system management
application.
The software accompaniment to the first workshop, the second training
session, is for both software and hardware design engineers that develop
software for embedded processors. Utilizing Actel's SoftConsole software
development environment, participants will create a system management
application in C, compile using the GNU C/C++ compiler and use the GDB
debugger to explore memory, CPU registers and step through executing code on
the target hardware.
