System on Chip

FONT SIZE : AAA

Current generation FPGAs now include an optional system on chip ( SoC ). These are available in the Zynq-7000 devices as well as the UltraScale + MPSoC devices. These SoCs include a state-of-the-art quad core ARM A53 application processor, an external DDR DRAM interface, internal memory and caching system, common I/O peripherals, and a set of high-bandwidth interfaces to the FPGA programmable logic. 

The SoC is built using ASIC technology and is competitive with discrete embedded processors in cost and performance. It boots when powered up from an external fl ash memory. The processor is then available to load the FPGA design. While boot- ing, the CPU boot code is optionally decrypted and authenticated enabling secure and safe embedded systems. Chapter 6 talks more about using these devices. 

Operating System Support

The SoC system is capable of running bare-bones without an operating system or running a real-time operating system ( RTOS ) or embedded OSs such as Linux . It also supports asymmetric OSs where, for example, one core runs Linux and the other core runs an RTOS. This capability is ideal for embedded systems. 

Real-Time OS Support

The MPSoC also includes a separate dual core ARM R5 processor. This processor is optimized for real-time applications and can optionally run in lockstep for high- reliability applications. The combination of the dual core R5 and the quad core A53 enables secure, high-reliability, real-time processing, while the A53 application processor executes application code. This combination is ideal for embedded, industrial, and military applications.
