Company’s Technical Experts to Demonstrate New Developments for Embedded Systems at Nuremberg Messe in Nuremberg, Germany.
WHAT: Microsemi Corporation, a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, will be participating in Embedded World 2018 in Nuremberg, Germany Feb. 27 to March 1. The company has assembled a group of technical experts to showcase how the company’s solutions, including its Mi-V Embedded Ecosystem, PolarFire field programmable gate array (FPGA) family and RISC-V embedded processor, help application engineers tackle the unique challenges associated with embedded systems.
Microsemi will be hosting five presentation topics at booth #1-431 starting at 10 a.m. each day of Embedded World, with a new session beginning each hour. For a complete schedule or to sign up for a presentation, visit https://www.microsemi.com/deta
• “PolarFire FPGA Solutions,” which introduces the company’s award-winning PolarFire FPGAs, including device architecture, devices/packages, available intellectual property (IP), solutions and demonstration designs;
• “Introduction and Update on RISC-V,” where the RISC-V Foundation will present the basics of RISC-V, a new instruction set architecture (ISA) that was originally designed to support computer architecture research and education, and is now set to become a standard open architecture under the governance of the RISC-V Foundation;
• “Mi-V RISC-V Ecosystem,” which highlights Microsemi’s RISC-V ecosystem components and roadmap;
• “Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence,” where ASIC Design Services will explain the multi-layer convolutional neural network Core Deep Learning IP; and
• “Walnut Digital Security,” where SecureRF will present the capabilities of its Walnut DSA security IP.
In addition, Microsemi experts will be on hand in booth #1-431 to discuss and demonstrate a number of innovative new products and solutions, including:
• PolarFire FPGA’s Low Power: Using the PolarFire Splash kit, this demonstration will showcase the low power of Microsemi’s PolarFire FPGA.
• PolarFire SmartDebug Eye Diagram: Using the PolarFire Evaluation board, Microsemi’s experts will show the eye diagram of the transceiver on the MPF300T.
• Mi-V RISC-V: The Microsemi Mi-V RISC-V core will be running on both PolarFire and IGLOO2 FPGAs with various example designs such as hello world, a touch screen demo, Wi-Fi web server and more.
• PolarFire HDMI 2.0: Using the high-speed transceivers of PolarFire FPGAs, this IP will demonstrate PolarFire’s ability to receive and transmit HDMI 2.0b video.
• ASIC Design Services AI/ML: This machine learning/artificial intelligence IP from ASIC Design Services will showcase the ability of PolarFire FPGAs to recognize people.
• SecureRF Security: This design showcases SecureRF’s Walnut DSA IP running on a Mi-V RISC-V core in a SmartFusion2 FPGA.
Microsemi’s director of FPGA marketing, Ted Marena, will also provide two presentations at Embedded World, titled, “High-Speed Interfaces in Cost-Optimized FPGAs” and “High Resolution Display Interfaces Leveraging Cost-Optimized FPGAs,” while Tim Morin, Microsemi’s director of marketing, will present “Running RTOS on RISC-V” as part of the RISC-V class at Embedded World.
WHY: Embedded World 2018 is the world’s leading meeting place for the embedded systems community where experienced developers come to share their knowledge and help others to convert their ideas and inventions into real products. Microsemi’s PolarFire FPGA applications for industry 4.0 as well as those for the broader industrial market are ideally suited for embedded systems professionals, with applications including factory automation, industrial Ethernet switches, video and image processing, machine vision, programmable logic controllers, portable test equipment and medical.
WHERE: Microsemi’s experts will be located in hall 1, booth #431, at the Nuremberg Messe, located at Karl-Schoenleben-Strasse, 90471 in Nuremberg, Germany. To register for one of the company’s presentations, visit https://www.microsemi.com/deta
