logiCRAFT-CC Demo Hardware
Xylon’s logiCRAFT-CC Companion Chip Platform demo setup which showcases three different ways of interfacing the FPGA with different host microprocessors -> PCI Express, USB and parallel IO interface.The logiCRAFT-CC can interface the most complex embedded microprocessors like the Intel® AtomTM microprocessor. This demo uses integrated Xilinx Spartan-6 PCIe link and Xylon’s logiPCIECTRL IP to seamlessly integrate FPGA peripherals with the host CPU.
The USB serial bus can be also used as the interface between host processors and the FPGA companion chip. This logiCRAFT-CC demo showcases the companion chip working with the OMAP3530 featuring ARM® CortexTM-A8 microprocessor. The USB is being used for transfer of FPGA captured video and audio.
Besides other interfacing options, the logiCRAFT-CC provides free Xilinx FPGA IO pins that can be used for implementation of different parallel or serial busses. This demo presents the logiCRAFT-CC working as a graphics co-processor to the NEC V850 microprocessor. The FPGA implements the video output as well.

PCIe Companion Chip Example
This demo design comes as a part of logiCRAFT-CC deliverables. Users can evaluate it and use as starting point for in-house developments.
Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA interfaces an external (host) microprocessor or microcontroller featuring the PCI Express (PCIe) interface. There is no FPGA CPU.
The host controls operation of FPGA implemented peripherals through the PCIe, which is also used for bi-directional data transfers.
Xylon delivers the logiPCIECTRL IP Core at no cost!
This IP core works as the PCIe <> PLB bus bridge. Besides single transfer operations (registers read and write), it also supports fast DMA transfers.
Xylon’s logiWIN IP core captures ITU656 video, converts it into YUV and delivers to the host through the PCIe.
This FPGA companion chip can also handle stereo audio from Codecs on the board or add-on boards.
Other IP peripherals can be added to the FPGA design

can evaluate it and use as starting point for in-house developments.
Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA interfaces an external (host) microprocessor or microcontroller through the USB interface. This link uses an external USB PHY.
This demo FPGA uses external DDR2 memories for application storage
Xylon delivers the USB firmware at no cost!
The logiSDHC SD card host controller IP core can be used for reading/writing the SD card. There are also other useful IP core, such as the General Purpose IO (GPIO).
Xylon’s logiWIN IP captures ITU656 video, converts it into YUV and delivers to the host through PCIe
This FPGA companion chip can also handle stereo audio from Codecs on the board or add-on boards.
Xilinx MicroBlaze CPU handles the USB protocol stack, and Xilinx USB2 IP core handles the physical level.

Parallel IO Companion Chip Example
This demo design is not a part of logiCRAFT-CC deliverables
Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA interfaces an external NEC V850 CPU which controls all FPGA implemented IP Cores. The interface is Parallel IO through Extension connectors
logicBRICKS IPs implement a graphics controller fully controlled by the NEC CPU. The logicBRICKS IPs use external DDR2 memory for video frame buffers
The logiWIN Versatile Video Input captures (grabs) the input video, scales it and stores in dedicated video frame buffers in the external DDR2 memory
The logiBITBLT Bit Block Transfer 2D Accelerators speeds up graphics operations with multiple graphics objects (menus, drawings, bitmaps, etc.)
The logiCVC-ML Compact Multilayer Video Controller controls the LCD display and graphics and video content blended (mixed) within the FPGA
Other IP peripherals can be added to the FPGA design
