DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS
IogiCRAFT2
The logiCRAFT2 provides designers with an evaluation and development platform targeted for multi-
display automotive infotainment systems, such as rear-seat entertainment products. Using a completely
field-configurable platform, it combines the highly popular Xilinx MicroBlaze 32-bit microprocessor core
together with a wide range of graphics and display controller IP modules from Xylon’s logicBRICKS
™
IP
core family. Based on a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA 1.5 million system gate platform, it is capable of:
• Driving up to three different displays simultaneously, including configurable power supply voltages
for each, with different video streams on each display
• Supporting a wide variety of video input and output standards, including: LVDS, CMOS, digital and
analog RGB, COG and CVBS
• Providing complementary audio inputs and outputs, including infrared-based audio transmission for
wireless headphone utilization
• Connectivity to automotive bus systems, such as LIN, CAN and MOST
®
standards, as well as other
industry standards such as RS232, USB and Ethernet
XA1600E Board
The Automotive ECU Development Kit (HW-XA3S1600E-UNI-G) provides designers with a configurable
and expandable out-of-the-box platform, suitable for a wide range of Automotive applications. Due to
its small form factor, it can easily be placed in a standard metal housing.The board has also been
designed to be powered by a 12 volt power supply for in-vehicle prototype use.
• Powered by a completely field-configurable platform running on a Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA, it combines
programmable logic for custom-driven IP applications as well as the popular Xilinx MicroBlaze32-bit
microprocessor core
• Features robust memory subsystem containing on-board Flash and SRAM memory
• Supports standard Automotive and System-on-Chip peripherals including all necessary physical layers
on-board the ECU, such as JTAG, 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0, 12-bit ADC, High- and Low-Speed CAN,
FlexRay
™
, LIN, K-Line, UART, SPI and over 150 user programmable I/Os
IogiCRAFT3
The logiCRAFT3 is derived from the logiCRAFT2 platform utilizing a smaller form factor, ideally to fit
behind a 7“ LCD, targeting single and remote display applications in the automotive environment.
It is based on a completely field-configurable platform combining the Xilinx MicroBlaze 32-bit micro-
processor core together with the wide range of graphics and display controller IP modules from
Xylon’s logicBRICKS IP core offerings.
• The platform supports a wide variety of simultaneous video input and output standards, such as CVBS
or S-Video supporting PAL/NTSC/SECAM as well as one/two twisted pairs 1-wire LVDS based on APIX
by Inova—COG displays as well as different COG power supply requirements are also supported
• Audio input and output capabilities
• Connectivity is provided via CAN and RS232; in addition, it can be optionally extended with an Apple
iPod compatible serial interface, as well as a Bluetooth module based on Cambridge Silicon Radio
• Provisions to control a touch screen are also offered
