Macraigor's OCDemon Supports Intel Atom Processor

Macraigor Systems has expanded its on-chip debug technology, OCDemon, to support the latest Intel Atom x86 processor. Built with tiny transistors, the Intel Atom processor was designed for low-power mobile internet devices and simple, low-cost PCs. JTAG debug solutions do not require an operating system on the device and is therefore suitable for firmware debugging as well as bootcode. Through the JTAG interface, the target hardware is connected to the debugger on the host system.

This allows in-depth access of IA-specific features for execution trace support and system-on-a-chip and chipset peripheral register content. OCDemon offers an optimised interface to these on-chip resources via a choice of communication channels. A host debugger communicates with a Macraigor Systems device and then to the target processor. Since there is no need for any resident code, this debug method is available for hardware initialisation and debug as well as kernel, driver and application software debug.

OCDemon has continued to be an Intel recommended JTAG debug solution for hardware manufactures that need to debug applications on host development platforms or remote TCP/IP sites. Macraigor is offering a free port of the GNU toolkit (gcc, gas and gdb) for the Atom processor on its website, as well as full support for Eclipse Ganymede. The Macraigor Eclipse Ganymede/Galileo and GNU Tools Suite is an implementation and packaging of the Eclipse Ganymede/Galileo platform, CDT (C/C++ development tooling) 5.0.x, and DSDP (device software development platform) 1.0 plug-ins, and a program called OCDRemote that provides an interface between Eclipse, the GDB debugger and a Macraigor on-chip debug device.

Macraigor's JTAG interface devices are immediately available for use with the Intel Atom-based designs as well as other Intel devices including the XScale range of processors.

VPX3-129 Enhances Freescale QorIQ P4080 Processor

Mistral Solutions has brought out Curtiss Wright's VPX3-129, a new and rugged power architecture-based 3U VPX (VITA 46) single-board computer (SBC). The VPX3-129 is a powerful, small form-factor SBC that enhances performance and advanced I/O capabilities of Freescale's QorIQ P4080 eight-core communications processor with an extensive I/O complement to provide a highly capable 3U VPX SBC.

This makes it ideal for a wide range of embedded harsh-environment applications, including tactical aircraft, armoured vehicles or rugged naval systems. The VPX3-129 has multi-gigabytes per second data flows from board-to-board via the backplane, and from the backplane to its XMC site to support the acquisition, processing and distribution of high-bandwidth sensor input such as video, radar and sonar data. The board has been designed to optimise functionality, reduce power dissipation and maximise system flexibility.

The board's I/O complement includes two Gbit Ethernet ports, four serial channels, up to 8-bits of discrete digital I/O, USB 2.0 ports and an XMC mezzanine site with 64-bits of I/O mapped to the backplane. It accommodates either dual SRIO high-speed fabric ports to the backplane or up to three PCIe ports to provide plenty of high-speed connectivity for the most demanding applications. The VPX3-129 comes equipped with a VxWorks 6.x BSP; a driver suite supporting Workbench 3.x IDE and Wind River Linux; plus a firmware set providing a comprehensive suite of system debug, exerciser and update functions, built-in self test and a non-volatile memory-sanitisation function.

Both air and conduction-cooled versions of the VPX3-129 are available. An optional companion board called the VPX3-215 is also available that provides two PMC sites and an XMC/PMC site.

Acrosser Network Platforms Use Intel Processor

Acrosser Technology has introduced its AR-R5100FL 1U 19in rack-mount fanless network platforms, which include an Intel EP80579 integrated processor with Intel Quickassist Technology. Intel EP80579, also known as Tolapai, is a powerful, integrated system-on-chip solution dedicated to networking appliances that require the encryption and decryption function. A built-in algorithm provides high performance with less CPU usage.

With Acrosser core technology the AR-R5100FL provides stability in noiseless formation and ensures a longer lifetime due to no moving parts. The platform offers two CPU frequency choices, 600MHz/1.2GHz and memory support up to single-channel 4GB DDR2. By leveraging the PCI Express technology and internal Giga LAN MAC it provides total of six GbE ports. Configurable bypass functions ensure continuous operation during power interruption. An optional module, AR-B2004-X4, provides two additional RJ-45 GbE ports and two GbE SFP ports in AR-R5100FL for maximising bandwidth.

AR-R5100FL offers a security-accelerating function and power efficiency that is suitable for internet-security applications such as VPN (Virtual Private Network), Firewall and Anti-Spam mail server. System integrators can develop applications with Intel Quickassist technology to maximise performance. AR-R5100FL features include: Intel integrated system-on-chip EP80579 with Intel Quickassist technology; memory slots support up to 4GB single-channel DDR2 with ECC function; RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet option up to 8RJ-45 and 2SFP GbE; console-redirection port or two-pair bypass function controlled by hardware and software; and 16 x 2 characters LCD module.

Datasound Panel PCs Use Intel Core2 Duo Processor

A family of three fanless touch-screen panel PCs from Datasound Laboratories uses the Intel Core2 Duo processor to provide up to 1.66GHz of processing power. This is complemented by a maximum of 1Gb of RAM. Available with 15in (AHM-6156), 12in (AHM-6126) and 10.4in (AHM-6106) LCD displays, the system can incorporate Compactflash and, optionally, a 2.5in (6.4cm) SATA hard disk.

Onboard features include a 10/100Mbps local-area network (LAN), two COM ports, two USB 2.0 connections, audio (line out) and PS/2 keyboard and mouse interfaces. The AHM-6xx6, which supports Windows XP Pro, XP Embedded and Windows CE NET 5.0/6.0 operating systems, has an IP65 sealed front panel with a resistive touch screen.

The system supports input voltages from 11V to 28V and has been constructed from black aluminium alloy. RoHS compliant and meeting CE and FCC Class A certification, the AHM-6xx6 range has an operating temperature of 0C to 50C and offers VESA or panel mounting.

Atmel Releases Radiation-Hardened Sparc Processor

Atmel has introduced the AT697 Revision F, a radiation-hardened Sparc processor for space applications. It delivers 90MIPs at 100MHz over full temperature and voltage ranges for only 0.7W. More than 1600 flight models of the AT697 Revision F's predecessor, the TSC695E, have been sold globally. The AT697 Revision E has proven its computing power efficiency of 90MIPs.

It exhibits the following radiation performance characteristics: total dose tested up to 100 Krad; SEU and SET induced error rate better than 10-5 errors/device/day in worst-case conditions; and no single event latch up below an LET threshold of 95MeV.cm/mg at 125C. The AT697E has demonstrated the capabilities of the Sparc V8. More than 100 flight models will be delivered this year. The AT697 Revision F, the radiation-hardened version, achieves 100MHz operation for only 0.7W.

It features: total dose tested up to 300Krad; extreme reliability against single-event upset and transient (SEU and SET induced error rate better than 10-5 errors/device/day); and no single event latch-up below an LET threshold of 95MeV.cm/mg at 125C. The design is based on the European Space Agency (ESA) LEON2-FT (Fault Tolerant) model and includes the latest techniques of radiation hardening by design, including full triple modular redundancy, EDAC and parity bit protections.

The European Space Agency has supported the design of this product. With its 90MIPs (Dhrystone 2.1) and 23MFlops (Whetstone) high performance, the AT697F offers the industry's best computing power efficiency of 150MIPs per Watt. The AT697F is software compatible with the other Atmel space Sparc processors and has improved the SDRAM interface efficiency, running at up to 90MHz. Samples of the AT697F are available in MCGA349 and MQFPF256 packages. The AT697F package versions are pin-out compatible with those of the AT697E. The AT697F engineering models, in all package versions, are available now. The AT697F processor flight models will be delivered and tested to QML QandV and ESCC quality flows in December 2009.
