FIPBLOX: a graphical interactive design tool for FIPSOC

FIPSOC is a field programmable mixed-signal integrated device consisting of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a set of programmable and interconnectable analog cells, and a microprocessor core which can run general purpose user programs, handle the dynamic reconfiguration of the programmable blocks and probe, in real time, internal digital and analog signals. This device is specially suitable for development and fast prototyping of mixed signal integrated applications. As FIPSOC project is currently under development, it has no yet any powerful tool for synthesis and a structural VHDL (components) approach is to be used for designing. Therefore, the user starts from simple design structures and through a bottom-up style must build more complex components. In this paper we present FIPBLOX, a tool that allows the user automatically generate VHDL code for implementing and customizing high-level modules using the basic resources provided by the FIPSOC FPGA.Eje: Arquitectura, Redes y Sistemas Operativos (ARSO)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Dispositivo genérico portátil de entrada/salida

Normalmente los dispositivos portátiles dedicados a la captura de datos son muy especializados y costosos. Por otro lado, siempre es posible crear dispositivos a medida de la aplicación. Esta opción, si bien es muy frecuente en ambientes académicos, sólo se justifica cuando el lugar del desarrollo presenta exigencias económicas o tecnológicas de gran peso dado que para cada aplicación se requiere diseñar y construir hardware y software específicos. En el presente artículo, se presenta un dispositivo basado en FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) que permite reutilizar gran parte del hardware (por medio de una configuración adecuada) y el software de control en un entorno de tiempo real como RTL (Real Time Linux).Área: Redes - Sistemas Operativos - Sistemas de Tiempo Real - Arquitectura de ProcesadoresRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
