    Design work was done using the DDC PrPMC using Linux to provide a drop in PrPMC solution for the X2 and X4 chassis. A recipe has been developed to make it easy to add the PrPMC, drivers and software to the chassis. Current status: initial integration complete - basic PrPMC functions operating in a design environment. Current development: Linux driver for the PMC Parallel TTL has been written to run with embedded Linux on the DDC PrPMC. PMC Parallel TTL BA16 driver and test suite completed. DDC has decided not to manufacture the PrPMC we were using. Our test suite is available to provide a great starting point on another third party PrPMC. Free with PMC MC X4 purchase. => Dynamic Engineering CPU designs are in progress. See above On Deck.

    Customization:

    Currently Dynamic Engineering has customized card designs under contract:
  • cPCIDART : New custom design with Analog IO, and user programmable FPGA targeted at low level signals associated with biofeed-back. Recently updated to use a main card base board and mezzanine. The base board has the PCI interface with an 8 channel DMA controller plus local power supplies. The mezzanine card has a user programmable Spartan III 2000 plus whatever IO is added. The PCI interface FPGA is interconnected to the User FPGA with an efficient high speed differential serial interface - one per channel plus a command link. The interface allows for 8 full duplex channels on the mezzanine using DMA. Status: Base design test completed. Mezzanine testing in process. Communicated testing between base and mezzanine complete. DAC/ADC testing complete. Test complete at DE. In T&I at client facility.

  • cPCI Receiver Controller: Multiple SPI interfaces[5], DAC [8], ADC[8], misc. TTL and 50 ohm control signals. T&I complete at DE. T&I in progress at customer site. Client inspired updates for added functionality in progress to move from prototype to production version. Schematic updated, layout updated, new fab´s in house, assembled, tested, shipped. In T&I at client facility in Australia.
