Xilinx Zynq Design

A2e Technologies is an expert with the Xilinx Zynq FPGA/SOC. We are a Certified Partner with Xilinx and are fully trained on all functions of the devices. In addition, we have direct experience porting our H.264 core to the device along with performing many custom designs including custom electronic deisgn and embedded software.

AMP Expertise: A2E has the knowledge and experience to get the most out of the dual-core capabilities of the Xilinx Zynq SoC Processing System. One of the benefits of the Zynq SoC is the ability to run separate systems on each core in an Asymmetrical Multi-Processor (AMP) configuration. This allows the designer to dedicate different functionality within the overall system design to each core using the most appropriate processing system for those tasks. Some tasks are better suited for bare-metal applications with a single processing loop and interrupt handling while others need a real-time OS to handle the additional complexity. Other tasks may be more appropriately handled using the benefits of a full-featured operating system like Linux. Running the Zynq in an AMP configuration gives the designer the flexibility of two different processing systems. However, there are technical challenges to overcome in an AMP design including the complications from booting both cores and sharing resources to the use and understanding of the tools.

We create reliable, manufacturable designs that will meet or exceed your expectations!

Why Our Designs Are Better

Reduced Cost

Products are designed to reduce cost of the BOM and manufacturing and test. We do everything we can to provide you a competitive design.

Optimized Designs

We optimize our designs and do not include anything that is not required. We focus on providing exactly what you need.

Reliability

We worst case time test all our designs to assure that you have reliable products off the manufacturing line and for years to come.

Long Production Life

We never design in obsolescence. We make sure only components that at least match the expected life of your product are designed in.
