ARM/FPGA Platform

Demanding tasks with no CPU load

Our Low cost ARM/FPGA platform is a highly-configurable, small form-factor System on Modules (SOM) designed for high-throughput, and quick response time applications requiring ARM applications processors integrated with FPGA chip.

Our ARM/FPGA modules combine the NXP VF6xx family (ARM cortex A7 + ARM cortex M5 ), Xilinx ARTIX 7 FPGA, DDR3 memory subsystems and onboard power supplies. These SOM modules provide a complete and flexible CPU and FPGA infrastructure for low-cost, highly-integrated embedded systems.

Communication between FPGA and ARM CPU has been implemented via VF6xx FlexBus interface (80MHz 16bit parallel bus) ensuring a fast and simple FPGA interface from ARM CPU side.
