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
