Optimized to help developers evaluate the operation and
performance of the NetLogic Microsystems Au1000® processor.

Overview
NetLogic Microsystems’ industry-leading Alchemy® Processor family comprises a series of ultra low-power embedded processors that deliver the powerful processing performance, ultra low-power functionality and market specific integration required for next-generation products like enterprise thin clients, automotive infotainment, telematics, and other media rich embedded applications.

The NetLogic Microsystems DBAu1000 development board is an integrated hardware and software system. It leverages the power of the NetLogic Microsystems Au1000® processor - a small form factor integrated solution that enables the development of high performance, low-power consumption Internet Edge solutions, including WAPs (Wireless Access Points), routers, gateways, printers, point-of-sale teNetLogic Microsystemsnals, set-top boxes, and Internet security products.

The DBAu1000 development board is a turnkey solution that integrates a processor, memory and peripherals together onto a single board, along with debugging assist features and software.

The DBAu1000 underscores NetLogic Microsystems’ commitment to providing customers with integrated systems that address their hardware and software needs, and positions NetLogic Microsystems as a valued partner in the development of future Internet Edge solutions.

NetLogic Microsystems DBAu1000 Development Board

Highlights

Our DBAu1000 development board has been designed to help Internet Edge developers:

Test processor performance
By integrating hardware and software into a seamless system, the DBAu1000 development board enables developers to evaluate the performance and functionality of the NetLogic Microsystems Au1000 processor in demanding Internet Edge applications.

Bring hardware and software solutions to market faster
The DBAu1000 development board has been optimized to help customers develop hardware and software solutions based on NetLogic Microsystems’ Au1000 processor. This system incorporates an Au1000® processor, SDRAM, AMD MirrorBit Flash memory, and two AMD 10/100 Ethernet PHYs together onto a single board, along with debug assist software (including a YAMON monitor/debugger), drivers, and design files. The result is a fully integrated system that is ready to run customer-developed software, which in turn can help reduce the development time for new solutions.

Learn from best practices
The unique needs of both software and hardware designers drove the creation of NetLogic Microsystems’ DBAu1000 development board. The result is a sophisticated system that serves as a model for the development of future Internet Edge solutions.
