"Avnet and CAST have long had the same goal: helping designers get competitive products out the door as quickly and cost-effectively as possible," said Bill Finch, vice president of sales at CAST Inc."Our new alliance combines the broad range of CAST general purpose IP cores with the proven utility of the Avalon Reference Design System so that designers can develop and evaluate their Xilinx-based designs faster and easier than before.We're excited to be a part of it."
The initial focus will be multimedia platforms using CAST's JPEG 2000 and MPEG cores, and embedded control systems (using 8051 and other 8- or 16-bit processor cores).The entire range of popular and standards-based CAST cores will soon be available, including bus and network interfaces (PCI, USB, MAC, etc.), encryption functions (AES, DES, SHA-1, etc.), serial communications, and peripheral controllers.Designers can see new CAST/Avalon boards in the Reference Design Village at DesignCon 2003 in Santa Clara, Calif., Jan. 27.
