Pavel Kurochkin, Denis Gabidullin: "Using of benefits of Linux-powered SoC-devices"
Using of benefits of Linux-powered SoC-devices
There is an opportunity in modern embedded devices development to use all the benefits of system-on-chip (SoC) architecture.
Now we should not reinvent the wheel for accessing of FPGA resources (registers, memory, etc.). Instead we should write directly to shared memory. Which benefits SoC-devices provide? How to run linux on SoC-device? Whether u-boot + kernel + rootfs are much enough? How to use the benefits of high-speed communication between CPU and FPGA.
We plan to tell a story about moving from independent chips architecture to "all-in-one" chip. EthOnd device developed by our company is used as reference design. .

CTO
STC Metrotek
CTO at STC Metrotek. Began as FPGA developer, worked in different environment, such as linux drivers, network programming, shell, Qt GUI and even highload systems development. Believes in Unix Way, tries to simplify rather than complicate. Last projects: high load monitoring system of multiple RTP video streams, new generation of ET/ETL-N devices produced by STC Metrotek this year.
