Evaluation module eases ARM Cortex-A8 design
Ideal software development and device prototyping platform for users to start immediately on their multimedia-based application device development.
It provides 64 Gigaflops of processing and FPGA-based algorithm acceleration for signal processing applications.
Based on a pair of 2GHz dual-core 1682 processors from PA Semi, the Champ-AV5 doubles the performance of the previous generation.
With over 50% greater performance per Watt than previous-generation 7448 designs, the Champ-AV5 will enable systems integrators to upgrade existing systems without the typical concern of increased power consumption.
The Champ-AV5 is pin-compatible with the 7447/7448-based Champ-AV4, allowing performance upgrades without changing chassis, backplane, power supplies of existing qualified systems.
The Champ-AV5 provides high memory and inter-processor bandwidth to complement the processors.
Each is equipped with two banks of DDR2 SDRAM with a peak bandwidth over 8Gbit/s.
The Champ-AV5 QuadFlow Express architecture provides each processor with an eight-lane, 4Git/s PCIe connection.
Two PMC/XMC sites are available, served with four-lane 2Gbit/s PCIe connections.
The Champ-AV5 is supported by Curtiss-Wright's Continuum Software Architecture with firmware and VxWorks Board Support Package support.
Curtiss-Wright provides Continuum Vector signal processing libraries and Continuum IPC, a high-performance inter-processor communications library, for message passing and bulk data transfers.
The Champ-AV5 is designed to operate in rugged environments and is available in a range of air and conduction-cooled formats.
