dlk_conceptdlk - features


The big difference... compared to standard CPU modules:
  • all components are grouped around an FPGA
  • the module is completely reconfigurable. Resulting in more flexibility, better performance, improved maintenance and optimized design

System features:
  1. scalable system performance
  2. suitable for many CPU families (hard- or soft CPU) and bus widths
  3. compact design, consists of 4-5 standard semiconductors
  4. development and production without programming device, pre-programmed or specialized semiconductors
  5. integrated standard PC interface
  6. predictable small development time and costs, suitable for low- and mid-range product volumes
  7. access FPGA internal ressources via PC, via internal CPU or from both. Develop and test standard and low level routines comfortably on the PC. Port them to the embedded CPU for final use afterwards.
  8. existing products can be easily upgraded. Profitable re-use use of already existing technology. Logic definition via schematic, VHDL, Verilog, ...
  9. storage of several FPGA configuration files and CPU programs in single standard Flash-memory, selection of files at run-time
  10. if the system concept already includes an FPGA, the ´dlk´ concept can be integrated without adding any costs
