25 June 2008
Design Automation
MPC Data, a leading Renesas Platinum Global Alliance Partner, has announced the availability of a Windows CE 5.0 and a Linux 2.6 board support package (BSP) for Renesas' SH7780 32-bit SuperH microprocessor. Both BSPs are targeted at the SDK7780 development platform, providing a choice of operating systems for engineers to design new products based on SH7780.
The SDK7780 includes 128 MB DDR-SDRAM (upgradeable to 256 MB), 128 MB Flash, PCI, Ethernet, ATA/ATAPI, MMC and AC97. MPC has also added support for two PCI cards, providing USB and a display driver.
The SH7780 uses an SH-4A CPU core with a maximum operating frequency of 400 MHz and realises a processing performance of 720 MIPS. It incorporates an on-chip 32-bit PCI bus controller that allows connections with LSI devices incorporating PCI interfaces and operating at either 66 MHz or 33 MHz. It also incorporates a wide range of peripheral functions such as DMAC, SCIF, RTC, FLCTL, TMU, SSI, HAC and MMCIF.
