Xilinx,the worldwide leader in programmable logic solutions,to simplify the implementation of AMP systems so system software developers can build their systems quickly.Xilinx Inc has announced in the Embedded World 2012 that an open source Linux based Asymmetric Multi processing (AMP) to support Zynq™-7000,the world's first Extensible Processing Platform.EPP contains the same ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore based processing system, programmable logic and I/O resources.Xilinx delivers programmable platforms to help design engineers make their vision a reality.
The Xilinx vice president Mr.Lawrence Getman said "High-performance, multi-core processor systems are becoming more common, but they are not always effective at providing real-time performance, especially when running complex operating systems such as Linux,"
"Xilinx's offering is a pre-canned AMP solution that utilizes the best of both worlds in what a high-level, application-specific Linux OS and RTOS has to offer. Our solution built with Xilinx Alliance Program member PetaLogix also serves as a starting point for developers with custom AMP mechanisms to integrate their own solutions."
"RPMsg is emerging as a compelling framework for Linux-based asymmetric multiprocessor systems, and in conjunction with our PetaLinux SDK Zynq Edition tools will deliver the flexibility and ease of use of Linux, with the real-time capabilities of FreeRTOS."
"Delivered as source code, documentation and reference examples, PetaLogix has worked with Xilinx to design and deliver a light-weight solution leveraging FreeRTOS and RPMsg that enables customers to easily create their real-time asymmetric multi-core processing systems on the Zynq - 7000 EPP," said Dr. John Williams, Founder and CEO at PetaLogix.
