System-on-Chip Lite+ Development Board
The System-on-Chip Lite+ Development Board represents the functional equivalent of the
final System-on-Chip Lite+ chip. That means the System-on-Chip Lite+ Development Board can be used for
in-system verification long before any real silicon of the System-on-Chip Lite+ device itself
is manufactured. Thus it provides a huge safety margin for the hardware design.
In parallel, software development can be started at a very early stage.
The basic elements of the System-on-Chip Lite+ Development Board are a so-called System-on-Chip Lite+
prototype chip that comprises the ARM7-based microcontroller system and an FPGA
that represents the G/A section where all the hardware extensions can be implemented.
Both, System-on-Chip Lite+ prototype chip and the FPGA, are interconnected via the AHB and
APB AMBA buses, just like in the final device.
In addition to that, the System-on-Chip Lite+ Development Board features SRAM, SDRAM and
Flash-ROM for supporting software development. All necessary signals are lead
through to the outside world via connectors in order to facilitate verification
within the final customer system
