Product Overview:

The Pico family of products are revolutionary FPGA based embedded acceleration platforms. With performance that often exceeds modern microcomputers, a shockingly small form factor, and nominal power consumption that is less than one watt, the Pico family of products take computing to a whole new level.

The Pico E-15 is based on the high-performance Virtex-4 FPGA chip. This device has the performance and power consumption of a custom chip (ASIC), but is completely reconfigurable! The E-15 features four high speed converters and direct video capture.

Advanced users will enjoy the open source development kits which allow absolute control over the hardware. For those who desire a more high level approach to firmware, Viva provides a graphical development model. Impulse C™ support is also included for rapid firmware development in the C programming language. Board support packages are available for operating systems such as Linux, µC/OS, Green Hills Integrity OS™ and VX Works.
