C6412Compact
TMS320C6412 DSP Board with Spartan-3 FPGA and USB 2.0, FireWire, Ethernet Interfaces
The
micro-line C6412Compact offers
a highly flexible DSP/FPGA single board
solution for developers requiring
and integrated DSP and FPGA, together with on-board USB 2.0, 10/100Base-T Ethernet, and IEEE 1394a FireWire connectivity. It can
be used as a stand-alone system, or as a mezzanine
daughtercard embedded within a larger
system or board design.
The design
incorporates a high performance TMS320C6412 Integer
DSP Processor, a high density Spartan-3 FPGA, USB 2.0 slave interface, 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface, and two IEEE
1394a FireWire controllers with independent interfaces. Up to 128MBytes of SDRAM and 8MBytes of Boot Program FLASH are also included.

In situations where
additional functionality is required, developers can extend the
capabilities of the C6412Compact using optionally available data
acquisition and I/O modules, or with their
own application-specific hardware. External hardware is easily interfaced with the
TMS320C6412
processor
or connected
directly
to the Spartan-3 FPGA.

accredited production
The micro-line power
supply functions as a base for a micro-line stack of DSP, data acquisition
and I/O boards. It delivers power to the micro-line stack and provides additional
services such as RS-232 communications connector, a reset button and a power-on
indicator. OEM developers may wish to mount the micro-line stack on their
own hardware.
Networking & Connectivity
The USB 2.0 slave interface allows the C6412Compact to be connected with PCs, using optionally provided software for the on-board DSP processor and the PC.
The two on-board IEEE 1394a FireWire controllers facilitate C6412Compact integration with other embedded
DSP resources, cameras, sensors, and host computers. The two FireWire controllers can be utilized indepdently and concurrently, using optionally provided software for general urpose I/O, video Framecapture, and video output.
The on-board 10/100Base-T Ethernet
interface similarly facilitates Ethernet based networking, using the Windmill Innovations RFC and eXpressDSP compliant
bf3Net TCP/IP protocol stack and web server software.
