BittWare Announces Roadmap for Altera Stratix V FPGA-Based
Family of COTS Signal Processing Boards
Newest board family gives military and comms applications instant access to the power of next-generation silicon on proven, validated COTS hardware
CONCORD, NH - May 12, 2010 - BittWare, a leading supplier of FPGA-computing and hybrid signal processing COTS solutions based on Altera's FPGA technology, announced today its next-generation family of board-level signal processing solutions which will leverage Altera Corporation's newly announced 28-nm Stratix® V family of FPGAs. Scheduled to be available in 2011, the S5 family roadmap includes AdvancedMC boards targeting wireless communications applications, 3U and 6U ruggedized/conduction cooled VITA 46 (VPX) boards for military and aerospace applications such as radar, electronic warfare and image processing; and XMC mezzanine cards for processing and I/O expansion on XMC carrier boards.
"Altera's leadership is on display once again with the Stratix V family of FPGAs. Combined with their best-in-class development tools, the performance, density, connectivity, and power of this next generation propels Altera's high-end FPGAs far ahead of the competition," stated Jeff Milrod, President & CEO of BittWare. "We are honored to be the first partner to leverage this significant advance with our S5 family of COTS boards which, supported by our ATLANTiS FrameWork and BWIO software, will enable our customers to quickly implement and deploy Stratix V powered solutions."
About the BittWare S5 Family of COTS Boards
At the heart of the S5 family of COTS boards is a Stratix V FPGA which facilitates all off-board I/O, while providing communications routing and processing. The FPGA supports many industry-standard protocols, including PCI Express® Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1, 40G/100G Ethernet, Interlaken, 10GbE, XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial RapidIO®, CPRI, 10G Basic (up to 12.5 Gbps), 6G Basic (up to 8.5 Gbps), and 3G Basic (up to 3.75 Gbps).
The S5 family is supported by BittWare's ATLANTiS™ FrameWork (AFW) for FPGA development, providing reconfigurable FPGA components, along with the infrastructure necessary to implement, simulate, synthesize, validate, and deploy a complete FPGA application on the Stratix V FPGA.
The BittWare FINe™ family host/control bridges provide control plane access to the Stratix V FPGA, facilitating separate control and data planes, and greatly simplifying the development of data plane I/O and processing by allowing for FPGA control, loading, and debugging over Ethernet and RS232/422.
Extensive software support for the S5 family will be provided via BittWare's BittWorks Toolkit for application development, which is tightly integrated with both the AFW and the FINe.
