HENDERSON, Feb. 07, 2018 –  Aldec, Inc., a pioneer in mixed-HDL language simulation and hardware-assisted verification for ASIC and FPGA designs, has paired two of its embedded development products to create a solution ideal for network and IT engineers in need of high traffic, reprogrammable data routers and switches.

The solution comprises an Aldec TySOM-2A-7Z030 embedded development board (which features a Xilinx® Zynq™ 7000 SoC FPGA) and an Aldec FMC-NET daughter card.

"Because of the huge amount of data that people now generate, combined with the wealth of communication protocols - such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, SFP and QSFP – there is a growing need for high-performance, hardware re-programmable routers," says Louie De Luna, Aldec's Director of Marketing. "However, you need to have an ideal marriage between decision-making, i.e. traditional processing power, and FPGA-based hardware acceleration, which is why the Xilinx® Zynq™ 7000 with its embedded ARM core is the perfect choice."
