Beyond Raptor Platform includes FPGA/ASIC SoC design based on a 32-bit Embedded Processor Core (Beyond BA12 or BA22 Embedded Processor) that allows customers to take it as a base design and modify it into their own FPGA/ASIC SoC. Beyond Raptor Platform is delivered as a set consisting of a pre-configured FPGA development board, software development tools for the Beyond BA12 or BA22 Embedded Processor, Linux source code, and documentation.
Beyond Raptor FPGA/ASIC SoC consists of several modular units.
32-bit Processor Core
Beyond BA12 Embedded Processor
- ARM9TM class of processors
- 1.02 DMIPS/MHz
- low cost entry level processor, fully OpenRISC compatible
Beyond BA22 Embedded Processor
