	VMETRO VMETRO simplifies development of embedded DSP systems with FPGA development kit Today VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions based on standards such as VXS, VPX, XMC and FMC that utilize multi-gigabit serial interconnects, announced the FusionXF FPGA development kit.... Today VMETRO announced the FusionXF FPGA development kit. FusionXF is targeted at reducing the design time and optimizing the performance of complex FPGA and PowerPC processing systems. It aids customers in the development of their FPGA algorithms and logic for VMETRO´s customer-programmable FPGA products. While FusionXF is very useful for a single FPGA design, it is invaluable in larger embedded real-time DSP system designs where there is a need to integrate and move data between multiple distributed FPGAs and processors. FusionXF includes FPGA HDL functions, software APIs, drivers, utilities, example designs, and documentation to simplify the task of integrating FPGAs into an embedded real-time DSP system design. It provides the building blocks to build a fully functional F...	Full version Date: Jul 21, 2008
