Graphics Display Controller Solution
• Xylon Graphics Display Controller solution features a set of
configurable IP that is fully compatible with the Xilinx EDK
Platform Studio, allowing for complete systems with optional
Microblaze
™
embedded processor with little, or no, VHDL
coding required
• Xylon IP cores combined with a Spartan XA FPGA scale
very efficiently, thus making it possible to size the FPGA
to a particular end-product configuration, and optimize
cost-per-function without changing platform architecture
or board design
• Graphics subsystems can be assembled with the appropriate
features that are well suited to an entire range of low- to
high-performance graphics systems, with or without video
support, all at a competitive cost
• Scaling the number of displays to two or more in a system,
such as Rear-Seat Entertainment, is now possible on a
single FPGA
Supporting a Wide Range of Applications
• Low-end graphics systems, such as message centers or HVAC
control, requiring display functions such as blend, fade, scroll,
and simple animation of graphic objects through the use of a
multilayer alpha blended LCD controller and basic 2D
acceleration
• Mid/High-end graphics systems, such as fully reconfigurable
LCD instrument clusters or Rear-Seat Entertainment systems,
requiring additional operations such as bitmap decompression,
anti-aliased scalable fonts, bitmap rotation, and bitmap
translation/scaling
• High-end graphics systems, such as navigation or advanced
user interfaces, requiring real time manipulation of 3D graphics
including texture rendering, shading, or other true 3D effects
Xylon graphics software support ranges from basic embedded
graphic libraries (i.e. Segger emWIN) to complete end-to-end
development solutions including GUI development environments
(i.e. Altia) and industry standard interfaces (i.e. OpenGL ES).
