Xcelerator Blocks
What’s an Xcelerator Block?
An Xcelerator Block is an optimized hardware implementation of a unique processor intensive function. Since everything needs a cool acronym, we simply refer to one of these blocks as an “XB”.
XLR8 development board ships with pre-installed XBs that target application-specific behavior. These are listed on the right. XLR8 can be field-updated to change the XBs implemented on the FPGA.
Available XBs
Enhanced Analog-to-Digital Converter
Floating Point Math
NeoPixel Control
Servo Control
Quadrature
OpenXLR8
We have integrated as much as possible of the design flow into the menu system of the Arduino IDE. However, the process still requires installing and using the Intel Quartus tool and Mentor’s Modelsim for simulation.
To assist users in creating their own XBs, we have provided webinars, videos and an online instruction set. As always users can contact us through our forums and via email at any time with questions.
Featured Testimonial
One of the goals of the drone project that I am sponsoring at the University of Idaho is to reduce power. Most drone control systems utilize several microprocessors which draw power. I wanted to have the control system implemented in a single FPGA with an embedded uProcessor. The Alorium products were exactly what I wanted and allow me to customize my FPGA design. More importantly, I can do it with simple, easy to use tools.
