Xilinx Extends its Cost-Optimized Portfolio Targeting a Wide Range of Applications Including Embedded Vision and Industrial IoT
Expanded Spartan, Artix, and Zynq families address next generation any-to-any connectivity, sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analytics, safety and security
Sep 27, 2016
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced the expansion of its cost-optimized silicon portfolio targeting a wide range of applications including Embedded Vision and Industrial IoT. Today's Embedded Vision and Industrial IoT applications need to collect, aggregate, and analyze data from a variety of sensors for actionable insights. Whether scaling a multi-sensor camera's functionality on a factory floor, or developing a smart drone with an innovative guidance system based on sensor fusion, designers can take advantage of the Xilinx® FPGA and SoC offerings across the portfolio for part or all of the system. The expanded Xilinx Spartan®, Artix®, and Zynq® product families address next generation any-to-any connectivity, sensor fusion, precision control, image processing, analytics, and safety and security.

"With these new additions to our cost-optimized portfolio, Xilinx is re-enforcing its commitment to deliver a full range of solutions for cost sensitive applications," said Kirk Saban, senior director of FPGA & SoC Product Management and Marketing at Xilinx. "The portfolio expansion, now including the Spartan-7 family, additional Artix-7 products, and the Zynq-7000 single core devices, offers the most compelling performance-per-watt solutions in the industry and expanded processor scalability all at lower cost entry points."
The new Spartan-7 family offers the industry's only 28nm-based FPGA in an 8x8mm package, enabling the portfolio's most cost-efficient connectivity solution for both legacy and cutting-edge interfaces, while delivering the highest performance-per-watt sensor fusion and precision control in a small form factor.
The newly added Artix-7 devices extend the family's industry leadership in transceiver and signal processing performance. These new FPGAs provide best-in-class image processing bandwidth in multi-sensor embedded vision with greater power efficiency at small densities.
New Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC single core devices offer an even lower cost entry-point to a fully scalable, ARM® processor based Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC platform, delivering a cost-optimized single-chip solution for analytic functions and cloud connectivity. Utilized across the portfolio is a multi-layered approach to safety and security, including processor-driven secure boot and the latest generation bitstream encryption and authentication to address the growing concern of cybersecurity in the IoT. These portfolio extensions complement the recently announced dual core CG MPSoC products to provide a continuum of options of single to dual core A9 on 28nm process technology to dual core A53 on 16nm process technology.
The enhanced cost optimized portfolio is enabled in the upcoming 2016.3 release of the Vivado® Design Suite for IP-centric and system-centric design and implementation, as well as Xilinx's SDx™ software defined environments, empowering both hardware and software developers to meet aggressive design schedules typical in cost-conscious markets. The all new Spartan-7 family, as well as new Artix-7 FPGAs, and Zynq-7000S devices, will be supported on the no-cost Vivado Design Suite WebPACK™ Edition, as well as the Vivado Design and System to enable immediate development.
Availability
Spartan-7 device sampling and Zynq-7000S production devices will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2017.

Xilinx Broadens the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Family with Streamlined Dual-Core Devices
New devices expand processing scalability within the Zynq UltraScale+ family
Jun 15, 2016
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced it has added streamlined dual-core members to the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC family of devices. The new dual-core "CG" family members expand the Zynq MPSoC portfolio scalability, to include dual application and real-time processor combinations. These dual-core devices add processing scalability at a lower cost entry point to the current Zynq UltraScale+ family, which offers quad ARM® Cortex®-A53s, dual Cortex-R5s, a graphics processing unit, and a video codec unit. Designers can choose from three device types within the scalable processing portfolio to address processing requirements across a breadth of markets, including motor control, sensor fusion, medical endoscopy, and handheld radios.
Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020822/XLNXLOGO
"The new members of the portfolio address our customers' need for a scalable, common hardware platform, giving them flexibility with dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor solutions," said Sumit Shah, senior SoC product line manager at Xilinx. "They address an even broader range of markets and applications, offer lower cost entry points, and are pin migration compatible across our entire Zynq UltraScale+ portfolio."

Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Available with Android Open Source 5.1 (Lollipop) Operating System
Ideal for safe and secure products running an advanced user interface
Jun 14, 2016
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ:XLNX) today announced Android 5.1 (Lollipop) support for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ Multi-Processor SoC (MPSoC). Through its Hardware Enablement Program, Mentor Graphics has used its extensive Android experience on heterogeneous multi-core platforms to successfully port the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code to run on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC. The resulting solution is the first to combine the advanced user interface of the Android platform with the added safety, security, and processing power offered by Zynq UltraScale+ devices, based on the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture.

The heterogeneous Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC isolates hardware resources to allow a high-level operating system, such as Android, to co-exist with safety critical functions that are run by a Real-Time Operating System on the integrated Real-Time Processing Unit. "Designers working within Industrial Automation, Transportation, Medical and Healthcare, and Radio markets continue to look for ways to build products that include features such as voice recognition, rich user interface, and complete customization without compromising safety and security," said Ramine Roane, senior director of Software Product Marketing, Xilinx. "The unique combination of the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and the AOSP provides a full safe and secure platform upon which such products can be built."
"Our expertise to port the Android Open Source Project to Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC will ease embedded development for Xilinx customers. The combination of application and real-time processing, low power consumption, high performance, integrated programmable logic, and isolation between general purpose and real-time subsystems provide many opportunities for the deployment of Android into non-traditional markets," said Warren Kurisu, director of product management, Runtime Solutions, Mentor Graphics Embedded Systems Division. "We look forward to supporting Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC customers on Android as well as a range of other software and tools available within the Mentor Embedded product line."
Availability
Android 5.1 (Lollipop) will be publicly available from Mentor Embedded for Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC in Q3 2016. Mentor will directly support Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC customers by providing commercial support, customization services, platform porting and feature enhancements, all available as part of a larger full software solution package for Xilinx products.
