eSOL has started offering the eT-Kernel Evaluation Kit for Xilinx’s Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, which combines the dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with Xilinx’s 28-nm programmable logic fabric. The Evaluation Kit integrates eSOL’s eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition real time operating system (RTOS), its dedicated eBinder integrated development environment (IDE), middleware components, and device drivers. This complimentary 30-day Evaluation Kit permits developers to easily and quickly evaluate the performance and quality of Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC and eT-Kernel. Since eT-Kernel inherited the functions and architecture of uITRON, the most popular RTOS in Japan and Asian countries, developers can reuse their uITRON-based software assets without further work.
Run-time software in the Evaluation Kit includes the eT-Kernel Multi-core Edition, eSOL’s PrFILE2 FAT file system, the SD memory card driver, and the HDMI display driver, all of which are integrated and immediately run on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Evaluation Board. The eBinder IDE is available for eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition-based software development. Besides ARM’s genuine compiler, eBinder offers various development tools and functions to strongly support multi-programming, debugging, and analysis for complex multi-core software development.
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC tightly integrates two ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors and FPGA fabric. The hardware and software programmability of Zynq-7000 AP SoC enables system development with high performance, flexibility, and scalability, while achieving lower power consumption and cost.
The eT-Kernel/Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Evaluation Kit allows developers to jump-start their evaluation using packaged device drivers, which saves the time and money of developing them. Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC and the eT-Kernel Platform are an ideal combination for advanced embedded systems in the automotive, industrial, and medical arenas, including Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), high-resolution graphic systems, machine vision systems, and network systems.
