Xilinx udvider Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC familien

Xilinx udvider den slagkraftige Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC familie med strømlinede dual-core devices ( in english).

Xilinx has added streamlined dual-core members to the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family of devices. The new dual-core 'CG' family members expand the Zynq MPSoC portfolio scalability, to include dual application and real-time processor combinations.

These dual-core devices add processing scalability at a lower cost entry point to the current Zynq UltraScale+ family, which offers quad ARM Cortex-A53s, dual Cortex-R5s, a graphics processing unit, and a video codec unit. Designers can choose from three device types within the scalable processing portfolio to address processing requirements across a breadth of markets, including motor control, sensor fusion, medical endoscopy, and handheld radios.

- The new members of the portfolio address our customers’ need for a scalable, common hardware platform, giving them flexibility with dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor solutions, says Sumit Shah, senior SoC product line manager at Xilinx.
- They address an even broader range of markets and applications, offer lower cost entry points, and are pin migration compatible across our entire Zynq UltraScale+ portfolio.

- The embedded market consists of a diverse set of applications, with customers seeking efficient and scalable technologies that can be deployed across a range of platforms and markets, adds Ian Ferguson, vice president for worldwide marketing and strategic alliances at ARM.
- The Zynq product portfolio is now broader than ever before and offering a range of ARM processors will significantly improve customer’s time to market as code and IP can be reused for any application. 

The dual-core CG devices will be supported on the industry-leading Vivado Design Suite, version 2016.3 in Q4 2016. Customers can start designing today using existing Zynq UltraScale+ devices and migrate their designs when the dual-core CG devices are available in 1H2017.
