I just heard from the chaps and chappesses at
Xilinx that they will be highlighting the advantages of programmable system integration for enabling embedded systems designers to achieve the best functionality, power efficiency, form factor, and time to market with 16 booth demonstrations planned for
Embedded World 2012 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, February 28 to March 1. (Phew! Try sating that sentence ten times quickly).
They say that their demonstrations at the Xilinx booth, #205 Hall 1, will leverage the strengths of Xilinx programmable devices including
7 series FPGAs and the
Zynq-7000 extensible processing platform (EPP), which feature innovations such as Xilinx’s
Agile Mixed Signal (AMS) analog interface and 28nm High-Performance Low-Power (HPL) FPGA process technology.
Moreover, they will show how Xilinx is transforming beyond a traditional FPGA supplier to a much broader programmable platforms provider, enabling developers to build better embedded systems faster. Expansion initiatives and a growing support ecosystem, including Targeted Design Platforms (TDPs), plug-and-play IP, optimized operating systems, virtual platforms, next-generation design tools, and Xilinx Alliance Program members, contribute to an enhanced level of value in the embedded design process.
What: Embedded World 2012

Extensible processing with the Zynq-7000 EPP
Visitors will be able to explore the value the Zynq-7000 EPP brings to embedded systems, with eight demonstrations showing how tight integration of the dual ARM Cortex-A9 processors with Xilinx’s scalable 28nm programmable logic architecture open new design avenues for developers. The demonstrations will include examples of image processing and HD-video processing using this dual core processor with hardware acceleration; an Android application developed with Xilinx Alliance Program member iVeia; dual-OS operation on the two Cortex-A9 cores running Free-RTOS and Linux in AMP mode, and a closed-loop real-time visual tracking system.
