PALMYRE is set of hardware components and software tools enabling the rapid prototyping of telecom-oriented application. DSPs from Texas Instruments and FPGAs from Xilinx can be freely mixed to build a specific computing and communication topology. Hardware synthesis tools are also used to shorten the development time of the FPGA embedded functions. GALS/LIS-like protocols are available at IP boundaries to enable easy abutment of IPS. The demonstration is a pipeline of two DSPs and an FPGA Viterbi decoder. Thanks to the GALS/LIS approach the system is data regulated and can be stopped and restarted without loss of any data or synchronization between DSPs and FPGA.
