A design environment for FPGA applications enables configuration of an FPGA platform to include a user design and one or more interface units, which the user design can use to access one or more external modules/devices without needing any particular knowledge of the structure and operation of such modules/devices. The interface unit corresponding to an external device/module, under the control of an operating environment, can establish a communication between the user design and the external module/device. An external processing module can use an interface unit to monitor and/or control a user design.

Systems and methods for FPGA development and operation

A computing platform includes an array of interconnected field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), memory, and external input/output interfaces. The platform is in the form of a blade conforming to the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) standard. The platform is especially useful for telecommunications and networking applications.

FPGA based ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture) platform

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for wireless communication with adaptive beamforming. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a processor, a radio frequency (RF) transmitter having a digitally controlled phased array antenna coupled to and controlled by the processor to transmit content using adaptive beamforming, and an interface to a wireless communication channel coupled to the processor to communicate antenna information relating to the use of the phased array antenna and to communicate information to facilitate playing the content at another location.
