TORNADO-AZU+/FMC+ is an industry-unique single-width AdvancedMC module with Xilinx ZU19EG largest Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC FPGA, FMC+/HSPC site and 1TB+ M.2 SSD drive.

Zynq Ultrascale+ EG MPSoC FPGA includes PS with 4x Cortex-A53 and 2x Cortex-R5 ARM cores and I/O peripherals, and PL with high-capacity logic/memory/DSP48, and pools of 32Gbps GTY and 16Gbps GTH transceivers. The on-board memory includes 20GB DDR4, FLASH and NVRAM memories, 1TB+ M.2 SATA3 SSD drive and front-panel slot for MicroSD card. The AMC interface connects to FPGA transceivers and includes 32Gbps Fabric-DEFG ports 4-11/8-11 for in-chassis streaming I/O (AMC.1, AMC.2, AMC.4), 32Gbps AMC ports 12-15/17-20 for direct AMC-to-AMC streaming I/O (any protocol), 16Gbps Fabric-B ports 2-3 (AMC.3 SATA3 or any protocol), and 1GbE Fabric-A ports 0-1 for remote control and in-chassis AMC-to-AMC communication. Multi-color front-panel LEDs are provided to indicate user defined events in Zynq PS/PL applications. Application specific I/O is adopted via VITA57.4 FMC+/HSPC module with AD/DA, SFP+, QSFP, MPO-MTP, etc.

The MMC firmware is based on the proprietary TAMMC G2 MMC kernel. MMC also performs power and temperature management of the device and automatically locks/unlocks the device on critical conditions for reliable and safe 24/7 functionality.

TASDK tools are used to remotely control the device and develop Zynq/PS ARM and remote control applications (Windows, Linux, Android) using unified cross-platform high-level Zynq/PS API and Host API. Multithreaded Zynq/PS ARM applications are developed using Linux, FreeRTOS and pre-certified Microsoft Azure ThreadX RTOS for demanding requirements.

The board can also be used as a stand-alone/embedded controller.

TORNADO-A6678/FMC is a market-unique high-performance single-width AdvancedMC module with 8x core TI TMS320C6678 DSP, Xilinx XC7VX690T Virtex-7 largest FPGA and FMC site. It is designed for reliable 24/7 industrial operation.

The AMC interface includes Fabric-DEFG ports 4-7/8-11 (12.5Gbps) for streaming I/O (AMC.2 Ethernet, AMC.1 PCIe, AMC.4 SRIO) and Fabric-A AMC.2 1GbE ports 0-1 for remote device control and in-chassis AMC-to-AMC communication. The DSP and FPGA are interconnected using 20Gbps SRIO for streaming I/O, and asynchronous parallel bus and GPIO for FPGA control and synchronization. Multi-color front-panel LEDs are provided to indicate user defined events from DSP and FPGA applications. Application specific I/O is adopted via VITA57.1 FMC HPC/LPC mezzanine module with AD/DA, SFP+, QSFP, etc.

The MMC firmware is based on the proprietary TAMMC G2 MMC kernel. MMC also performs power and temperature management of the device and automatically locks/unlocks the device on critical conditions for reliable and safe functionality.

TASDK tools are used to remotely control the device via 1GbE LAN/WAN and develop DSP and remote control applications (Windows, Linux, Android) using unified cross-platform high-level DSP API and Host API. Multithreaded DSP applications for core #0 use TI RTOS/NDK and pre-certified Microsoft Azure ThreadX RTOS for demanding requirements. DSP applications for cores 1-7 are designed with bare-board API for maximum performance.

The board can also be used as stand-alone and embedded controller.
