eSOL's eT-Kernel RTOS Evaluation Kit Launched for Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC
Complimentary for a 30-day Evaluation of the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Device with the Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore Processor and eT-Kernel
Tokyo, Japan. July 24, 2014 –eSOL,
a leading developer of real-time embedded software solutions, has started
offering the eT-Kernel Evaluation Kit for Xilinx® Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC,
which combines the dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with Xilinx's 28nm
programmable-logic fabric. The Evaluation Kit integrates eSOL's eT-Kernel Multi-Core
Edition real time operating system (RTOS), its dedicated eBinder Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), middleware components, and device drivers. This
complimentary 30-day Evaluation Kit permits developers to easily and quickly
evaluate the performance and quality of Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC
and eT-Kernel. Since eT-Kernel inherited the functions and architecture of
uITRON, the most popular RTOS in Japan and Asian countries, developers can
reuse their uITRON-based software assets without further work.
Runtime
software in the Evaluation Kit includes the eT-Kernel Multi-core Edition, eSOL's
PrFILE2 FAT file system, the SD memory card driver, and the HDMI display driver,
all of which are integrated and immediately run on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable
SoC Evaluation Board. The eBinder IDE is available for eT-Kernel Multi-Core
Edition-based software development. Besides ARM's genuine compiler, eBinder
offers various development tools and functions to strongly support
multi-programming, debugging, and analysis for complex multi-core software
development.
Zynq-7000
All Programmable SoC tightly integrates two ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors and
FPGA fabric. The hardware and software programmability of Zynq-7000 AP SoC
enables system development with high performance, flexibility, and scalability,
while achieving lower power consumption and cost. The eT-Kernel/Zynq-7000 All Programmable
SoC Evaluation Kit allows developers to jump-start their evaluation using
packaged device drivers, which saves the time and money of developing them.
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC and the eT-Kernel Platform are an ideal
combination for advanced embedded systems in the automotive, industrial, and
medical arenas, including Automotive Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS),
high-resolution graphic systems, machine vision systems, and network systems.
eSOL has been an active member of the Xilinx Alliance Program. eSOL has a deep knowledge of ARM MPCore processors based on their wide experience in supporting various ARM-core processors. eSOL is committed to strongly back up software engineers using the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC-based systems with their expertise in operating systems.
"eSOL has been one of our strategic partners as an operating systems vendor," said Dave Tokic, Senior Director of Partner Eco System and Alliance, of Xilinx Inc. "eSOL's eT-Kernel/Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Evaluation Kit would promote potential Zynq-7000 AP SoC users to evaluate it at lower cost. We find that the eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition maximizes the benefit of the integrated ARM MPCore processors. The tightly coupled eBinder IDE would facilitate complex multi-core software development. We will continue to closely partner with eSOL to support software developers of the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC systems."

"The eT-Kernel
Multi-Core Edition has been selected worldwide for a variety of multi-core
systems since its release in 2006," said Hiroaki Kamikura, General Manager of
the Embedded Products Division, eSOL. "The eT-Kernel/Zynq-7000 All Programmable
SoC Evaluation Kit would be an excellent means to evaluate real-time capability
and reliability of the eT-Kernel Multi-Core Edition for free for 30 days. Even after
the evaluation phase, we will be a reliable OS partner to help developers to
benefit from Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC in commercial projects, since we
have experience and technical skills in a wide range of embedded systems, and
an ability to meet developers' various needs."
