Fast SoC module is supported with build environment

The module has up to 747,000 systems logic cells across six Arm processors, a GPU and up to 294 user I/Os. Built-in interfaces include two Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, 16 master guide tables (MGTs) with speeds of up to 12.5Gbit per second), as well as PCIe Gen2 x4. With up to 4GByte of DDR4 SDRAM with bandwidths of 19.2GByte per second and ECC, as well as 16GByte eMMC flash memory. This is integrated into a footprint of 74 x 54mm.

Commercial and industrial temperature ranges are available. Operation is from a single 5V-15V supply.

When used with the Mercury+ PE1-300 or Mercury+ PE1-400 baseboards, the SoC module can be a development and prototyping platform, says the company. Other expansion options are provided by the LPC/HPC FMC connectors on the PE1 base board, which are compatible with a range of plug-in cards for ADCs, DACs, motor control cards and RF links.

An ecosystem comprises hardware, software and support materials, including the Mercury+ PE1 base board with documentation and reference designs, user manual, schema, a 3D-model, PCB footprint and differential I/O length tables.

The Enclustra Build Environment can compile the Enclustra SoC modules with an integrated Arm processor, with the module and base board selected by a graphical interface. Enclustra Build Environment downloads the appropriate Bitstream, First Stage Boot Loader (FSBL) and the required source code before U-Boot, Linux and the root file system, based on BusyBox, are compiled.
