Example Application Case Studies
11
Case Study #1 – Point of Sale
• I want to develop a platform that works from signature pads through automated checkouts:
– And they need to be able to reuse software from the signature pad to the full checkout system
• Stellaris’ HMI reference designs provide the perfect platform for touch-screen signature pad development
• Sitara’ HMI development platform provide the perfect platform for touch-screen display and control for the Self Checkout
• Stellaris’ Ethernet and CAN peripherals enable networked connection to the Sitara MPU running the checkout
• Reuse compatible software between ARM platforms
Develop a platformfrom signature pad….
to …
Self checkout
12
Case Study #2 – Industrial Control
• I am designing and building triple redundant, industrial Programmable Logic Controllers. I am looking for floating-point performance and ECC for external DRAM. – Built-in redundancy would be attractive
– Safety features are likely to be preferred
– Preference for a native floating-point architecture
• The TMS570 is: – Fully-redundant dual-core – Designed to meet SIL3 certification – Floating-point architecture
• For Non-safety and Non-redundant PLC or industrial control applications, Stellaris MCU and Sitara MPU with integrated Ethernet and CAN are great options.
13
Case Study #3 – Industrial HMI
• I am designing and Industrial Control Panel (Human Machine Interface or HMI) for industrial machinery and I need the ability to support WVGA to XGA resolution on 7-15” displays running Linux OS with Qt User interface framework– Lower power for vent less enclosure is a must
– Integrated LCD controller is a must
– 2D and 3D Graphics acceleration would be a plus
• The Sitara MPU provides: – Cortex-A8 MPU with less than 1 W active power – Supports displays upto XGA @ 60 fps referesh rate – Open source and Commercial Linux with Qt framework
• If your system requires screen sizes smaller than 5” with VGA or QVGA resolution and graphics menus, then Stellaris MCUs would be a great option
14
Case Study #4 – Software Radio
• I am designing and building public safety portable radio for police, fire and other emergency personnel. This is a software radio as it needs to be programmable for different emergency services and needs to support multiple protocols in different frequency bands – Programmable modem capability
– Low power for battery operation
– MPU for control and display
• The Integra processor provides: – C6000 fixed or floating point DSP for modem processing – ARM926 or ARM Cortex-A8 MPU for control and display – High speed interface for connection to data converters
15
Case Study #5 – Video Surveillance
• I am designing a multiple camera surveillance system that will be connected over an IP network to a digital video recorder for small and medium businesses. I need ability to process upto 16 channels of video on the recorder and get to market fast with the full solution– Reference designs would be a deal closer
– Added software for enabling smart features would be a big plus
• The DaVinci processor provides: – VGA to HD encoding and decoding – Reference designs for IP netcam and DVR are available – Partner eco-system with advanced object recognition software
