In 1997, Orsys started as an embedded IEEE 1394 pioneer and today looks
back on many successful IEEE1394 OEM design-ins and projects for industrial, automotive, medical, telecom, aerospace, military and
other applications.
By
combining with Unibrain´s PC-based IEEE 1394 solutions, Orsys provides
multiple prooved, state-of-the-art embedded- to PC connections. This
combination is used in many applications and is established as a highly
reliable, powerful, very flexible and future-aligned embedded- to PC connection.
Today, Orsys provides three basic embedded IEEE 1394 solution approaches
which cover most of the OEM market´s needs, depending on individual
requirements like embedded processor compatibility, formfactor, additional
processing- or FPGA- resources, cost sensitivity, etc.
The
three IEEE 1394 solution approaches can be described as follows:
1. micro-line®
peripheral board approach:
The micro-line® SC1394xx boards are
highly flexible IEEE 1394 interface boards equipped with the latest Texas Instruments
IEEE 1394 silicon, state-of-the-art programmable logic hardware and powerful isochronous
transmit and receive FIFOs. Micro-line® SC1394xx boards do
not support an onboard processor. Due to this property, SC1394xx boards
can be combined with various embedded processor types like DSPs,
microcontrollers or microprocessors. IEEE 1394 software stacks are
available from Orsys for most of the Texas Instruments DSP families.
Software compilations for other processors are possible after consultation
with Orsys.
2.
micro-line®
Compact board approach with DSP and FPGA:
The micro-line®
CxxxxCompact boards with integrated IEEE 1394 are highly flexible
systems equipped with the latest Texas Instruments
IEEE1394 silicon, as well as very powerful DSP- and FPGA- technology on
a single board. This combination fits excellent to various embedded needs
where huge pre- and main- processing-power, lots of I/O resources and
plenty of interfacing capabilities are required. The necessary IEEE 1394
software stack- and FPGA- libraries are provided with the micro-line®
CxxxxCompact boards.
3. ultra-compact MCM approach with DSP and FPGA:
The
ultra-compact UC1394xx multi-chip-modules (MCM) with integrated IEEE 1394 are
extreme small and highly flexible
IEEE 1394 interface
modules in SMT pinout. They are equipped with the latest Texas Instruments
IEEE1394 silicon, as well as DSP- and FPGA- technology at a high
processing performance and an exceptional price-to-performance ratio. The
main intention of the ultra-compact UC1394xx approach is to offer
easy-to-use, plug-and-play products that fully isolate IEEE 1394 protocol
details from the user. This is possible by an onboard IEEE 1394 firmware
installation that allows to "tunnel" IEEE 1394 data to a 16 Bit data streaming
hardware interface. Several board support packages allow further
individual or standardized plug-and-play solutions like IEEE 1394 DCAM
camera interfacing, IEEE 1394 harddisk operation or individual IEEE 1394
networking off the shelf.
