FPGAs to blow hot and cold at ESC
Actel will highlight its transformation of "hot ideas" into "cool" Flash-based FPGA solutions through demonstrations and training sessions at the 2007 Embedded Systems Conference.
Actel will highlight its transformation of "hot ideas" into "cool" Flash-based FPGA solutions through demonstrations and training sessions at the 2007 Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), from 2nd to 5th April at the McEnery Convention centre in San Jose Visitors to Actel's Booth 632 can discover how to apply ARM processors, including the "hot" new FPGA-optimised Cortex-M1 processor codeveloped by ARM and Actel, in Actel's nonvolatile, M1-enabled Fusion Programmable System Chips (PSCs) and ProASIC3 FPGAs

Development environment helps cut power
Enhancements enable easy comparisons of multiple design scenarios and their resulting power consumption and battery life implications.
Plug-in cards speed specific FPGA designs
HMI and miniature motor control daughtercards enable designers to shave months off of their design time and easily meet the most stringent power budgets.
Actel will also demonstrate its "cool" system management capabilities and MicroTCA reference design solutions.
The Actel System Management Development Kit, a custom monitoring graphical user interface (GUI) and a MicroTCA chassis, leveraging Actel's Fusion-based power module reference design, will be running in the booth.
Both automated and live demonstrations of the Actel tool suite will also be available in the booth to demonstrate system builders, compiling, debugging and many more software features.
In partnership with Avnet, Actel is offering 90-minute technical training sessions.
The first session details an end-to-end tool flow for designing Actel FPGAs with an embedded ARM7 soft core.
This hands-on experience will show how to leverage Actel's Fusion mixed-signal FPGAs, the Actel Libero integrated design environment and SoftConsole software development environment to create a hardware design for a system management application.
The software accompaniment to the first workshop, the second training session, is for both software and hardware design engineers that develop software for embedded processors.
Using Actel's SoftConsole software development environment, participants will create a system management application in C, compile using the Gnu C/C++ compiler and use the GDB debugger to explore memory, CPU registers and step through executing code on the target hardware.
Full details of the training sessions and a booking form can be found in the events section of the Actel website.
