DBAu1100 Development Board
Optimized to help developers evaluate the operation and performance of the Alchemy® Au1100® 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 DBAu1100 development board is an integrated hardware and software system that leverages the power of the NetLogic Microsystem Au1100 processor. It’s a complete integrated solution with an LCD controller that enables the development of low-power consumption, high-performance Mobile Information Appliances (IAs), including Web pads, telematics, PDAs, and multimedia handheld computing devices.

The DBAu1100 development board is a turnkey solution that integrates a processor, memory and peripherals together on a single board, along with debugging assist features and software.

The DBAu1100 development board underscores NetLogic Microsystems’ commitment to providing customers with integrated systems that address their hardware and software needs, and positions NetLogic Microsystem as a valued partner in the development of future Mobile IA solutions.

Highlights

Our DBAu1100 development board has been designed to help Mobile IA developers:

Test processor performance
The DBAu1100 development board is a fully integrated solution that includes both hardware and software, allowing developers to test the performance of the Au1100 processor in a variety of demanding Mobile IA applications.

Rapidly develop hardware and software solutions
The DBAu1100 development board has been optimized to help customers develop hardware and software solutions based on NetLogic Microsystems’ Au1100 processor. This system incorporates an Au1100 processor, SDRAM, AMD MirrorBit Flash memory, and an AMD 10/100 Ethernet PHY 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 Mobile IA solutions.
