Product Options:
Embedded Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single
board computer allows developers to take full advantage of the four
independent Stream Offload Engines (SOEs). The StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single
board computer is designed to transport real-time streaming data and utilizes
ESD’s Stream Offload Engine (SOE) technology to provide real-time streaming
data paths between distributed processing nodes. The StreamBladeTM SOE-4
utilizes two Xilinx Virtex-4 FX60 FPGAs to implement four independent SOEs
that provide zero-copy, full TCP/IP offload, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity
for each configured 40 Pin ATA connector.
The ESD StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single board computer reduces
development time and increases reliability for Communications,
Military/Aerospace, Medical, and Industrial applications. The ESD StreamBladeTM
SOE-4 single board computer provides users with direct access to each SOE via
a 40 pin ATA connector and/or via a Ethernet RJ-45 connection.

More Options:
The Stream Offload Engine (SOE) is at the core of the Embedded
Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single board computer.
StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single board computers utilize ESD’s SOE technology to
provide zero-copy, full TCP/IP offload, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity
between the configurable I/O at the 40 pin ATA connectors and network
connected real-time streaming data processing nodes. ESD’s SOE technology
acts to decouple real-time streaming data source and sink processing nodes
allowing real-time processing jitter to occur without data loss.
Each SOE is capable of running a Data Distribution Service (DDS)
Source/Sink Agent. A DDS Source/Sink Agent allows each SOE to be a node on
the DDS network where it can receive control and provide node status. The DDS
Source/Sink Agent can be controlled to Source or Sink real-time streaming data
utilizing the DDS network connectivity to support distributed processing.
Application FPGA designs need not be DDS aware. Multi-casting is handled by
the SOE running a DDS Source/Sink Agent.

More Options:
Four independent Stream Offload Engines (SOEs) allow the
StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single board computer to send and receive real-time
streaming data via the J1, J2, J3, and J4 (10/100/1000 Ethernet) RJ-45
connectors. The J6, J7, J8, and J9 (I/O) 40 pin ATA connectors allow developers
the freedom to customize the connectivity necessary to interface with a variety
of real-time streaming data sources and sinks that support interfaces such as
Ethernet, RF, RS-232, RS-422, G.703, LVDS, and ECL.
ESD StreamBladeTM single board computers can be configured to run
without a host. StreamBladeTM single board computers may be configured into
any host with available PCI slots including passive PCI back-planes. The
StreamBladeTM SOE-4 single board computers can be daisy-chained together via
the J1, J2, J3 or J4 (10/100/1000) RJ-45 Ethernet connectors to implement
distributed applications. Contact ESD for more information:

Application Development:
A Xilinx Virtex-4 FX60 BSP is available from ESD. The BSP
development CD comes complete with documentation, source code, presynthesized designs, and project files. Sample applications demonstrate how to
interface user configurable I/O from a 40 Pin ATA connector with a Stream
Offload Engine (SOE).
Xilinx development tools and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit
(EDK) are available from Xilinx. Contact Xilinx for more information:

Foundation Tools:
ESD StreamBedTM firmware is provided with each board. The
StreamBedTM firmware CD includes a Bootloader, Flash Burner, and
StreamBladeTM Diagnostics. Developers may download and run applications, test
StreamBladeTM hardware, and burn images to Flash via Ethernet, serial port, or
the PCI bus.
ESD StreamBedTM software is provided with each board. The
StreamBedTM software CD includes executable Linux and Windows device
drivers. The drivers provide the host computer, via the PCI bus, the ability to
control and receive status from one or more StreamBladeTM single board
computers. ESD StreamBedTM software comes complete with device driver
documentation, driver source code, pre-compiled driver images, and driver build
files for StreamBladeTM single board computers. Contact ESD for more
