Expanded Library, Board, and Services Ecosystem
Support
Building on the March
2015 SDSoC development environment launch, Xilinx has
qualified new Alliance Members offering boards, system-on-modules
(SoMs), libraries, and design services. Over 15 qualified boards
and SoMs are available, covering machine vision, ADAS, and
software-defined radio applications. Additionally, Xilinx and its
library partners provide library functions including OpenCV, linear
algebra, and signal processing. Xilinx has also expanded its
ecosystem with 8 additional qualified design services members to
enable design teams around the world to leverage the potential of
All Programmable SoCs and MPSoCs.
SDSoC Development Environment Enhancements
The SDSoC
development environment 2015.2 release supports enhanced flows for
hardware/software partitioning, system connectivity exploration,
and rapid performance estimation with increased accuracy in its
IDE. The release also enhances platform creation flows,
allowing users to seamlessly convert existing Vivado® Design Suite
and run-time software projects for a custom board into an SDSoC
custom platform. "The Xilinx SDSoC development environment
enables us to fully leverage heterogeneous multi-processing with
Xilinx All Programmable SoCs and MPSoCs by combining our HDL-based
logicBRICKS IP cores and our C/C++ implemented advanced vision
processing algorithms within a single familiar framework," said
Davor Kovacec, founder and CEO of
Xylon, a Xilinx Premier IP Alliance Member. "Now we can supply
nearly completed and reusable SoC solutions for Automotive and
Machine Vision applications to our customers without deep FPGA
expertise, and allow customers to easily and quickly add their own
code, configure, prototype and optimize complete Smart Vision
systems."
"The Xilinx SDSoC environment is a well-integrated, seamless
C/C++ level design environment allowing traditional C/C++ embedded
customers to design and deploy next generation heterogeneous
systems with Xilinx Zynq SoCs and MPSoCs," said Dr. Steven H. VanderLeest, COO of DornerWorks.
"As a Xilinx Premier Design Service Alliance Member, DornerWorks
sees great opportunities in servicing both the FPGA savvy customers
adopting the C/C++ design methodology as well as C/C++ based
software developers without much FPGA experience. With strong
product expertise in FPGA, IP, embedded software, and regulatory
compliance certifications, we are excited about the new customer
base the SDSoC technology opens up, and looking forward to
providing our unique value-added services and solutions to new and
existing customers."
"The SDSoC development environment not only significantly boosts
the productivity of existing Zynq users, but also opens up new
market opportunities through a complete software development
approach," said Vidya Rajagopalan,
vice president, Processing, Systems, Software and Applications
Group, Xilinx. "We have been working with many early access
customers and partners over the past few years, and we now look
forward to the expanded user base generated by the public access
release."
