Abatron adds on-chip debugging support for the new AppliedMicro APM83290 Processor
3/10/2010 -
Abatron AG announced additional support for the new APM83290 processor family from Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC). Enhanced on-chip debugging and control of these chips are supported by the complete BDI family (BDI1000, BDI2000 and BDI3000) and their associated applications for development and production.
The BDI high-quality and high-speed JTAG debug interfaces offer a wide range of solutions for debugging and programming embedded hardware and software as well as for production purposes. Abatron has added complete support for the new high end APM83290 processor. Configuration files for bdiGDB (GNU support) are available for the newly announced APM83290 Everglades Evaluation Kit.
“We appreciate early support from Abatron for the APM 83290 processor”, said Chris Bergen, Director of Systems Engineering at AppliedMicro. “Many of our customers worldwide currently use Abatron’s probes with PowerPC 405, 440, and 460 processor families and welcome the additional support for the APM83290 product family.”
About the AppliedMicro APM83290 Processor
The APM83290 includes a processor subsystem that integrates two Titan cores based on Power Architecture technology. The Titan core is a superscalar, dual-issue, out-of-order core designed to achieve industry leading performance on a per clock basis. Innovative circuit design techniques enable the APM83290 to deliver speeds of 1.5 GHz in 90nm bulk CMOS while comparable designs require 45nm SOI process technology to achieve similar operating speeds. In addition, the APM83290 platform consists of a number of acceleration blocks designed to offload the processor subsystem from commonly occurring tasks in networking applications. This combination of performance and price flexibility makes this solution attractive for many application areas that traditionally were not serviced by Power Architecture products.
