Address-Event-Representation, AER, is a communication protocol that is
intended to transfer neuronal spikes between bioinspired chips. There are
several AER tools to help to develop and test AER based systems, which may
consist of a hierarchical structure with several chips that transmit spikes
among them in real-time, while performing some processing. Although these
tools reach very high bandwidth at the AER communication level, they require
the use of a personal computer to allow the higher level processing of the
event information. We propose the use of an embedded platform based on a
multi-task operating system to allow both, the AER communication and
processing without the requirement of either a laptop or a computer. In this
paper, we present and study the performance of an embedded multi-task AER
tool, connecting and programming it for processing Address-Event
information from a spiking generator.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TEC2006-11730-C03-0
