FPGA Sensor Development Kit

Alico Systems (Torrance, CA) has announced the Kinetic 3500 OMAP FPGA Sensor Development Kit (SDK). Powered by a Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP3530 (Cortex A8 RISC processor and DSP) together with a Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA, the product also features a set of sensor peripherals including a tri-axis MEMS gyroscope, tri-axis MEMS accelerometer, tri-axis magnetic sensor, GPS module, temperature sensor, and 20-Msps, 12-bit A/D and 14-bit D/A converters.

The Kinetic 3500 embedded Web-based GUI provides extensive diagnostic and configuration capabilities. An onboard FPGA allows developers to implement custom hardware functionality and signal processing algorithms.
