VEC3000 - Application Specific Development Platform
 

In addition to equipping with one ARM7DTMI 32-bit RISC processor for software development and one Spartan-III XC3S400 FPGA with 400,000 gates for digital hardware design and verification, it comes with a rich set of on-board application peripherals suitable for product designs ranging from multimedia to wireless communications.

The uniqueness of combining software development environment and hardware design verification environment into all-in-one platform brings the following benefits:
    1)  Product development cost is reduced.
    2)  Cross design dependencies between software and hardware is reduced.
    3)  Software and hardware design architectures can be together evaluated to achieve the best system design partition and trade-offs.
