The HTG-MPSOC is an ideal
prototyping and evaluation platform for high-end designs requiring
high density FPGA devices, processing power, and AMBA AHB
interfaces. This Platform enables SoC developers to verify custom IP
cores, prototype complete systems, develop and test device drivers
for projects. The HTG-MPSOC platform can potentially be populated
with 8 Xilinx Virtex-4 LX200 FPGAs and multiple
ARM926EJ-S
or
ARM1136JF-S Core Tile modules (or any other customized DSP or
Processor modules). This Platform consists of a "Base"
board and
multiple "FPGA" Modules.
The "Base" board provides power, memory, and standard
peripherals used in embedded and wireless applications – 64MB SDRAM,
CIS, TFT-LCD, ‘AC97 Codec, 10/100 Ethernet, 5 UART ports, User LEDs
and Switches. The Base board provides four "Expansion" connectors
with 288 signal pins so add-on modules can be connected to the rest
of the Base board and FPGA resources. The Base board also has four
connectors which provide interfaces to the "FPGA" boards.
Each compact "FPGA" Module is populated with Xilinx Virtex-4
XC4VLX200-10FF1513 Device, 64MB SDRAM/32MB Flash, 4MB SRAM, 3
ICS307 PLL, JTAG port, on-board regulator, and connectors to host
ARM Core Tile for ARM926EJ-S or ARM1136JF-S (or other modules)

The HTG-MPSOC Platform
includes example RTL, FPGA bitstream, and example software that
works with the CPU Core Tiles. It includes demonstration code and
complete environment for evaluating custom IP.

► ARM926EJ-S
and ARM1136JF-S Core Tiles
The Core Tile for
ARM926EJ-S/ARM1136JF-S
contains an
ARM926EJ-S/ARM1136JF-S processor inside a test chip. The processor’s
configuration signals and a multiplexed AHB bus are connected to the
board’s headers, so that systems based on this core can be easily
prototyped.
These boards can be stacked together to implement complex custom
systems. The CPU core frequency can be adjusted up to 200MHz, but
the maximum frequency depends upon the test-chip fitted. Core Tiles
cannot be used stand-alone.
Features:
ARM926EJ-S/ARM1136JF-S processor test chip
