FPGA and ARM Cortex-A9 processors make great combination

摘要

In December 2011, Xilinx started shipping samples of its Zynq-7000 family of ICs that combine an FPGA and dual 32-bit Cortex-A9 processors. The four versions of Zynq-7000 also have a NEON double precision floating point accelerator for each processor. The processor system can boot at power on, so SW development start right away. Xilinx is planning to ship production quantities in the first quarter.
