FPGA board speeds wideband sensor development
S2 Corp is using the Nallatech BenADC 3G COTS FPGA board in the development and testing of a new generation of ultrawideband sensor technology.
FPGA modules to upgrade to latest Xilinx devices
Virtex-5 based rugged embedded computing family to provide customers with industry leading solutions for use in a wide range of operating environments.
The Strathnuey motherboard is based on Nallatech's award-winning Dime standard, an FPGA-centric modular systems platform used by global OEMs for DSP, imaging, telecomms and aerospace applications.
The complete Strathnuey kit comes with a single device edition of Nallatech's own Fuse plug and play reconfigurable computing operating system.
This allows complete flexibility and scalable functionality for the control and configuration of Virtex FPGAs on modules and motherboards.
Extras include IP cores for peripheral control, design examples, standalone case, external power supplies for UK, European or US sockets and a USB cable.
The Strathnuey kit has been designed to offer users a way to protect their initial investment as it acts as an ideal stepping stone for those who wish to scale up later for more demanding application requirements.
For example an application requiring over 50 million system gates and 200GFLOPS of IEEE754 precision could be satisfied with the same system architecture methodology as the Strathnuey using Fuse and Dime-II.
According to Dr Malachy Devlin, CTO Nallatech, "Using Virtex-II makes the Strathnuey one of the industry's most advanced entry-level development boards, while providing a low-cost way to access the powerful technology behind our scalable Dime systems.
Now software or hardware engineers can easily explore the full FPGA potential of next generation applications".
