The RealView® Emulation Baseboard is a development board especially designed to prototype systems based on AMBA AXI and AHB bus interfaces, and is the reference platform for systems built around Core Tiles. |  Front Back |
The Emulation Baseboard provides a large amount of memory and peripherals typically used in embedded and wireless applications. The board is based on a large FPGA that normally implements the bus infrastructure, memory system and peripherals controllers, but which can also be used to synthesize small ARM processors. Core Tiles and Logic Tiles can be stacked on top of the Emulation baseboard to implement hardened ARM processors and to provide more FPGA space to prototype custom peripherals. In order to accelerate hardware and software development and reduce time to market the Emulation Baseboard is delivered with example RTL, FPGA bit files, and example software that works with all existing Core Tiles.
