Atmel has released an add-on board that supports its FPSLIC product family. Atmel's AVR-based FPSLIC components integrate a 20+ MIPS 8-bit AVR microcontroller with a 5000 to 40 000 gate FPGA, up to 36 KB of SRAM, and peripherals. FPSLIC devices provide programmable logic and an AVR microcontroller on a single chip.
The STK594 add-on board plugs directly into an AVR STK500 development board, creating a low cost FPSLIC development environment. Atmel's FPSLIC devices offer designers a single chip solution with the additional memory and programmable logic. The development kit offers designers a low cost and easy way to develop FPSLIC designs using the AVR development environment. Since FPSLIC code executes from on-chip SRAM, the AVR microcontroller performance is 20 or more MIPS.
The STK 594 includes the FPSLIC daughter board, Atmel's System Designer co-verification, code-development, and EDA tool suite. The HDL Planner tool in System Designer automates the generation of the FPGA design, so embedded designers who are not familiar with a hardware description language (HDL) can quickly and easily create the FPGA portion of the design. System Designer's co-verification back plane supports the simultaneous debugging of the processor code during the FPGA simulation.
Says Saroj Pathak, Atmel's programmable SLI product line director, "Frequently, system designers find they need to add custom peripherals or additional logic to their MCU-based designs. However, the addition of an external FPGA or CPLD increases cost, board real estate, power consumption and design complexity. Adding external logic usually means that the embedded designer must learn how to use an HDL or bring in an HDL designer - lengthening the design cycle. Embedded system designers who have no knowledge of hardware description languages can create the FPGA portion of the FPSLIC design quickly and easily with these tools."
