| FMC inside CES720 |
Austin, TX – 4DSP’s new CES720 (Compact Embedded System) is a stand-alone, small form factor embedded system designed to provide a complete and generic processing platform for data acquisition, signal processing, and communication. The system is housed in an enclosure measuring five inches per side and weighing less than 1 Kg. It features a low-power x86 CPU tightly coupled to a high-performance Xilinx Kintex-7 and FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC – VITA 57.1). The Kintex-7 410T FPGA provides a flexible and powerful processing backbone for interfacing to the FMC site, CPU, and external DDR3 SDRAM, with plenty of room left over for high-performance Digital Signal Processing.
“The CES720 is ideal for development and prototyping purposes, and it can serve as a customizable stand-alone lab instrument or as a deployed embedded solution for UAV applications where weight and size are critical,” said 4DSP Systems Engineer Justin Braun. “FMCs can be chosen from 4DSP’s extensive and versatile portfolio of modules or from a third-party vendor to customize the functionality of the system for a given application.”
4DSP’s BSP (Board Support Package) and Stellar IP are available for the CES720. These tools allow designers to jump into development with modular reference designs that exercise the system’s capabilities and provide the high-level interfaces and driver support.
