  1. Xilinx Embedded Processing Solutions Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium Istanbul November 2008

  2. Xilinx Serves a Wide Range of Markets Communications • Infrastructure • Wireless Automotive • Infotainment • Instrumentation Aerospace and Defense • Crypto • Space Consumer • Displays • Handhelds Industrial Scientific and Medical • Surveillance • Test and Measurement Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  3. Digital Convergence Drives Demand • The Core Infrastructure (Virtex) • Performance & capability are premium • Power & cost constrained • Longer time-in-market • The Expanding Edge (Spartan) • Cost and flexibility are key • “Moderate Performance” • Shorter time-in-market Voice Video Data • In-The-Hand (CoolRunner II) • Cost and size are premium • Power is key • Shortest time-in-market Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  4. What Do Embedded Customers Need ? Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  5. Xilinx Offers a Range of FPGA Embedded Processor Solutions PowerPC • From space efficient to high performance processors • Flexible Integration • Variable resources required • Scalable Cost Points Highest Performance 32-bit General Purpose Architecture With Acceleration Features MicroBlaze Only Dual PowerPC core architecture 32-bit General Purpose Architecture Soft Core with Acceleration Performance Extensive offering of common peripherals and IP Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  6. Highest Integration, Extensive Peripherals, RTOS & Bus Structures Networking & Wireless High Performance Flexible Embedded Use Models 1 2 3 State Machine Microcontroller Custom Embedded • Lowest Cost, No Peripherals, No RTOS & No Bus Structures • Vast range of applications (Programmable State Machine) • Low/High Performance • Medium Cost, Some Peripherals, Possible RTOS & Bus Structures • Control & Instrumentation • Moderate Performance MicroBlaze PowerPC MicroBlaze PowerPC MicroBlaze Range of Use Models Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  7. IBM CoreConnect™ on-chip bus standard PLB, OPB, and DCR RocketIO Dedicated Hard IP DSOCM BRAM (32 bit) ISOCM BRAM (64 bit) Flexible Soft IP PowerPC 405 Core DCR Bus OPB Bus Bridge Arbiter On-Chip Peripheral Bus e.g. Memory Controller Hi-Speed Peripheral GB E-Net On-Chip Peripheral UART GPIO Off-Chip Memory ZBT SRAM DDR SDRAM SDRAM PowerPC-based Embedded Design I Cache D Cache PLB Arbiter Processor Local Bus Full system customization to meet performance, functionality, and cost goals

  8. MicroBlaze 32-Bit RISC Core Possible in Virtex-II Pro LocalLink™ FIFO Channels OPB On-Chip Peripheral Bus Arbiter 8 in; 8 out Custom Functions Custom Functions On-Chip Peripheral 10/100 E-Net UART MicroBlaze-based Embedded Design I-Cache BRAM Local Memory Bus Flexible Soft IP BRAM Configurable Sizes D-Cache BRAM Off-Chip Memory FLASH/SRAM

  9. Acceleration Beyond the Core PowerPC • When clock frequency limits performance, Fabric Acceleration to the rescue • Application-specific hardware acceleration • Enables dramatic improvements in performance • Substantially reduces cost and power • PowerPC • APU Interface • MicroBlaze • FSL (Fast Simplex Links) Interface Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  10. Point-to-Point Connections for higher bandwidth Shared Bus for smaller area A Higher Performance Bus Infrastructure • One interface for PPC and MicroBlaze • One interface with common IPs • Fast and efficient Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008

  11. Why MicroBlaze v7.00 with MMU? • Strong Customer Demand for Embedded Linux solution for FPGA-based Processors • ~ 30 % of Xilinx Embedded Opportunities use Linux or uClinux • MicroBlaze v7 with MMU enables Full Embedded Linux 2.6 solution • More Secure, Robust Software Development because of Memory Protection • Easier Software development because of Virtual Memory and Runtime Loadable applications • Easy to port large number of Linux applications, drivers and libraries • LynuxWorks BlueCat Linux (MicroBlaze Edition) to support MMU • Support from other partners and GPL patch to follow soon after Embedded Systems and Applications Symposium – Istanbul Nov. 2008
