Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Mark E’s link points to the earlier (VME/IP based) version of softGlue. 

 

There is also a newer softGlue based on the Avnet MicroZed, which has a Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC (system on a chip).  This SoC has an FPGA and a dual-core ARM processor on the same chip.  We’re running EPICS on a Linux soft ioc on the ARM processor, and the softGlue logic on the FPGA.

There is also the higher-end PandaBox.  This also an opensource hardware project with EPICS support.

Is this something that you already have any want to use? If so, drivers for what? Epics?

 

If this is for a new project that you don’t already have hardware for, there are more recent/modern FPGA implementations that are slightly more off the shelf solutions. i.e., EPICS softGlue.
