Xylon offers several logicBRICKS IP cores for implementation of 2D Graphics Processing Units (GPU) on
Xilinx® Zynq™-7000 All Programmable SoC and FPGA programmable devices.
Depending on graphics requirements, designers can use one or more logicBRICKS IP cores to build the graphics engine through an easy plug-and-play Xilinx Platform
Studio (XPS) design flow. The XPS GUI parametrization enables logicBRICKS IP tuning of slice consumption and feature sets definitions.
|
Such flexibility enables designers to
select only required graphics features; from small and efficient display
control that use just a fraction of programmable logic in the smallest
Z-7010 Zynq-7000 device, up to the full multi-layer HD display controllers with support for texture rendering, bitmap rotations, etc.
Xylon provides extensive logicBRICKS software support that includes bare-metal SW drivers and drivers for the most popular operating systems running on the Zynq-7000 AP SoC. Standard graphics drivers enable software developers to work efficiently with popular graphic libraries, widget toolkits and familiar development tools. logicBRICKS
drivers for Linux OS are distributed as open-source software. For information about non-Linux OS support, please
contact us.
logicBRICKS 2D graphics engines can be upgraded and expanded by
3D graphics accelerator and
video processing IP cores from the logicBRICKS IP library, or by Xilinx and third-party IP cores.
Graphics logicBRICKS IP cores can be fully evaluated on Xilinx Zynq-7000
ZC702 Evaluation Board. The table bellow presents the key logicBRICKS
IP cores for the 2D GPU design.
These IP cores are available through Xylon's LVIP program and can be purchased online!
