STOCKHOLM and SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct.

Accelerated Linux simplifies development of high-performance
real-time applications
Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic: ENEA) has announced an extended version
of its Accelerated Linux, fully integrating all processing units on
the Xilinx UltraScale+ range of devices, at the Xilinx Developer
Forum (XDF) 2018. XDF connects software developers and system
designers to the deep expertise of Xilinx engineers, partners, and
industry leaders.
The solution adds a software level integration to the
UltraScale+ System-on-Chip (SoC), providing the means to
efficiently control, communicate and transfer large amounts of data
between applications running on the different processing units.
This greatly simplifies software projects and reduces the time
spent on platform development.
Accelerated Linux vastly improves Linux' real-time
characteristics by using a high-performance real-time executive
running side-by-side with Linux on the ARM Cortex-A53 cluster.
Linux and the real-time domain are integrated through high speed
IPC, big data transfer between domains, and access to shared
resources such as file systems. Building on this framework, the
extended solution showcased at XDF takes advantage of the open
source OpenAMP project for communication between Accelerated Linux
and FreeRTOS running on the ARM Cortex-R5s. It also allows access
to the FPGA on the SoC.
"The UltraScale+ SoC from Xilinx is a very capable and flexible
device that needs a sophisticated runtime environment to
efficiently connect the different processing units. This solution
shows our deep expertise in embedded real-time solutions and our
capability to deliver complete high-performance solutions also for
very complex systems," said Adrian Leufvén, SVP OS Business Unit
Enea.
"With demands on enhanced performance, greater flexibility and
scalability, and shorter time-to-market, the availability of
integrated solutions that simplify application development is a
must," said Simon George, Director
of System Software and SoC Solution Marketing, Xilinx. "We are very
happy to have Enea support our UltraScale+ devices."
At XDF Silicon Valley, Enea will show live demonstrations of the
extended Accelerated Linux, showing latency benchmarks, OpenAMP
communication between Accelerated Linux and FreeRTOS, big data
transfer between cores over shared memory, and program load of the
FPGA.
