Compact universal SA-Adapters provide the physics for legacy serial I/O, fieldbus interfaces and other small I/O functions

The T6M-100 offers the highest performance AdvancedMC™ board with 64 general-purpose cores and two 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces. The T6M-100 is designed to meet the growing demand for converged, content-aware IP networks that accommodate data, voice and video.

MEN Micro Inc., a world-renowned provider of embedded computing and I/O solutions for demanding industrial, mobile and harsh environment applications, now offers its FPGA-based Universal Submodule (USM™) concept on two additional mezzanine cards; the P699 XMC and the P598 conduction-cooled PMC (ccPMC).

MEN Mikro Elektronik is coming up with another two mezzanine cards with FPGA functionality. The two FPGA based modules introduced one year ago – the P599 PMC and M199 M-Module™ – are now getting company by a conduction-cooled PMC, P598, and an XMC module, P699. The USM™ Universal Submodule concept that this I/O family is built on implements the desired functionality as IP cores inside the FPGA of the mezzanine card, while the line drivers are located on a submodule.

Expansion of CoWare Model Library Enables Development of Optimal Architectures for MIPS32 34K-based Systems. Integration of the new processor model into CoWare’s ConvergenSC SystemC-based environment for platform-driven ESL design enables users and prospective users of the MIPS32 34K cores to assess and optimize their capabilities on system performance, at an early stage of design. Designers can readily combine the MIPS32 34K model with other elements of the CoWare Model Library, such as AMBA or OCP-IP-compliant on-chip interconnects, and peripheral models, to create a SystemC transaction-level model of the complete platform, months ahead of the availability of a hardware prototype. Designers can also run real software on the platform model and simulate at speeds fast enough to analyze overall system performance and assess the impact of the 34K cores’ innovative capabilities such as Multi-threading (MT) and DSP functions.

The i4400 is a low-cost 6U form factor PMC / PrPMC carrier for the VMEbus and forms the basis of a flexible I/O system. It offers the user a means of integrating two single PMC modules or one double PMC module in a VMEbus system. The current version of the i4400 supports PMC, in Q2-2006 the i4400 will also support Processor PMC modules on both PMC-sites (also an upgrade is possible).
