Today we are very excited to announce that BrisbaneSilicon has published a Beta Release of its Lumorphix Processor IP. A summary of this IP:
- Native execution of the Lua scripting language, including:
- REPL
- Non-volatile program storage
- Rich, full featured API
- Constants
- Functions
- Interrupts
- Build-time configurable, including:
- Number of supported processor cores (maximum of eight)
- Stack / Heap size, per core
- Support for a configurable number and type of digital I/O protocols (GPIO, PWM, SPI etc)
- Support for an FPGA fabric bus
- Support for inter-core communication
- Support for inter-core synchronization
- Support for timers, hardware watchdogs and interrupts
- Run-time configurable, including:
- Digital I/O Pin type (i.e. GPIO, UART, SPI etc)
- API
- Interrupts
- Timers
- Each processor Core is heterogeneous
- Ultra-small footprint (minimal configuration) of only 1750 LUTs (AMD / Xilinx 28nm fabric) and 5 BRAM (20 kB)
- Clock frequency up to 500 MHz (AMD / Xilinx 16nm fabric)
- Simple UART-based user interface
