Sundance EMC2-Z7030 single-board computer

Sundance Multiprocessor Technology has integrated Xilinx’s SDSoC development environment into its EMC²-Z7030 single-board computer. Sundance’s EMC² range is a family of industrial-grade and deployment-ready SBCs that feature a Xilinx Zynq SoC with integrated dual-core ARM-A9 CPUs coupled to 1 Gb of DDR3 memory, four lanes of PCI-Express and reprogrammable logic with Kintex-7 FPGA technology.

The Xilinx SDSoC development environment has a system-optimising C/C++ compiler that allows system and software engineers to take advantage of the speed increase offered by running processing-intensive algorithms on the programmable logic of the Zynq Z7030. The development flow offers a familiar software development environment using an Eclipse-based GUI, programming in C/C++ and debugging from the ARM-A9 CPUs.

The EMC²-Z7030, combined with the Xilinx SDSoC development environment, offers an industrial-grade and deployment-ready PC/104 embedded computing solution that can benefit from the flexible concept of the Zynq SoC with integrated dual-core ARM-A9 and Kintex-7 FPGA fabric. The addition of a VITA57.1 FMC-LPC makes it easy to migrate R&D efforts from Xilinx’s development bread-board to a fully rugged environment. The SDSoC development environment and Sundance EMC² board bundle is especially suitable for embedded systems design.
