Kit simplifies combined MCU/DSP
development
Development kit for 32bit MCU/DSP packs 3x processing power into every clock cycle to cut power consumption.
DT Electronics announces the STK1000 development kit for Atmel's AT32AP700 MCU/DSP chip The new device, based on the AVR-32 32bit architecture, executes 3x the processing power per clock cycle of its nearest competitor so that compute intensive algorithms can be executed at lower clock speeds and hence lower power

Budget board for FPGA development
A new 400k gate Spartan-3 FPGA development board provides a low-cost solution for design engineers looking to pursue a variety of embedded FPGA applications.
For example, it can execute quarter-VGA MPEG4 decoding at 30 frame/s while running at only 100MHz.
Comparable devices need to run at 260MHz or more to decode the same video stream.
The STK1000 provides a complete AT32AP7000 development environment.
The kit has two Ethernet ports, a high quality QVGA LCD, a loudspeaker, and connectors for USART, PS/2, VGA, and USB.
An expansion header can be used for prototyping.
A pre-installed Linux image on the included 256Mbyte SD card ensures that the user can boot Linux and start program development directly after power up.
The STK1000 is also supported by AVR JTAGICE Mark II.
With either Gnu GCC or the IAR compiler, the JTAGICE Mark II supports basic runtime control and a limited trace.
The kit is available from stock at GBP 275.00 each.
DT Electronics's field applications engineers are available to demonstrate the product.
