Aldec supports ARM Cortex-A9 in HES-7 ASIC prototyping platform

The folks at Aldec tell me that they now support ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore application development and verification in their HES-7 ASIC prototyping platform.

The HES-7 leverages the Xilinx Virtex-7 2000T All Programmable FPGA and the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC, and it includes peripherals supporting media interfaces, memories, and additional connectors to expand the development of a wide array of SoC applications.

The HES-7 ASIC prototyping platform – coupled with open-source Linux, Android, and FreeRTOS solutions available from Xilinx – provides software developers of ARM Cortex-A9 applications with a complete SoC platform. These applications, along with the 4 to 96 million ASIC gate scalable capacity of HES-7, deliver a powerful verification platform for design teams comprised of hardware and software engineers.

Leverage Cortex-A9
Designers can now leverage the serial processing capabilities of the Cortex-A9 processor for applications that require intensive computations and operating systems with the parallel processing capabilities of HES-7 ASIC prototyping platform to create applications across a diverse range of markets including: Video, Communications, Control Systems and Bridging.
