The Embedded System Development Kit (ESDK)
provides a powerful, low-cost solution for
prototyping and rapid development of the products.
The ESDK board has a powerful Altera Cyclone
FPGA. The ESDK board has industry standard
interconnections, memory subsystem, multiple
clocks for system design, JTAG configuration
and expansion headers for greater flexibility
and additional user interfaces.
The
SLS ESDK gives scope for designing, prototyping
and testing IP cores or any hardware design
using HDLs like VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog.
The entire environment helps implement any
processor as well as any real time operating
system on the ESDK. The ESDK along with 8051
IDE serves an excellent means for system designing,
prototyping and emulation. The SLS 8051 IP
is pre-built and can be loaded into the FPGA.
Using the 8051 IDE C and assembly programs
can be downloaded and executed on the system.
The SLS ESDK can be used for DSP applications
by interfacing directly to a DSP processor
or implementing DSP functions inside the FPGA.
In short, it is a dual-purpose kit, which
can be used for prototyping and developing
VLSI designs as well as designing and developing
microprocessor based embedded systems.
The
ESDK ships with Altera starter suite software
and download cable. For using additional hardware
interfaces and developing advanced applications,
SLS also provides Altera standard Santa Cruz
snap on boards.
