Next-gen PEPS-2 ASSP prototyping platform based on Virtex-6

Xilinx Inc. and ST-Ericsson jointly announced that ST-Ericsson is developing a next-generation PEPS-2 ASSP prototyping platform based on Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs.

The new platform for emulation, prototyping and software development will include up to six high performance Virtex-6 FPGAs and will allow software development prior to ASSP silicon availability. ST-Ericsson deployed its first generation PEPS system, which included six Virtex-4 FPGAs, to develop its highly acclaimed U8500 Smartphone Platform.

The upcoming PEPS-2 system will allow customers to develop larger and more complex ASSP platforms and run the system faster, with much lower power, due to the Virtex-6 FPGAs.
