please support our team !!!

Dino, Benjamin, Léo from UJF Jospeh Fourier, IUT1, Licence Pro “systemes embarqués”, Grenoble are involved in Xilinx FPGA and SOC University Design contest !!!

they designed a Tango gateway to Zedboard using OpenEmbedded…

their presentation is still under construction,
see here…

if you have some advices, feel free to comment

thanks

Cool! Very nice project and I wish you get a good place! Suggestions for improvements? Describe some use cases where it can be applied. A more evolved example like an oscilliscope could be better. Some photos would make it clearer to non-experts. Why not add a gui e.g. web or mobile gui using mTango. Just some ideas if you have the time.

Well done on getting so far already!

Andy

Dear all,

we registered again a team from the class “Lpro Systèmes embarqués” UJF Grenoble in the Xilinx University Contest, OpenHardware 2016 (http://www.openhw.eu/)

Baptiste CAMUS baptiste.camus@e.ujf-grenoble.fr
Nicolas GROS nicolas.gros@e.ujf-grenoble.fr
Nicolas COUPIN nicolas.coupin@e.ujf-grenoble.fr
Bertrand RIGAUD bertrand.rigaud@e.ujf-grenoble.fr

our project is the AmpereHourMeter Tango device server (aka Bouteillometer) revamping… This device is measuring current in TFL (Radiation Dose estimation in Transfer line 1 & 2)

this proof of concept is built with a ZedBoard (Xilinx SoC Zynq 7020), featuring :

  • Assymetric MultiProcessor : one ARM core for linux/tango device server and use the other one for a standalone bare metal app driving interlock (human safety can’t rely on a non deterministic linux app)
  • use Zynq internal XADC
  • Communication between cores use Xilinx On Chip Memory
  • Linux is custom Openembedded.

Will Xilinx dance Tango with us ?

my class did not win the Xilinx the university contest this year è_é… see result here : http://www.openhw.eu/2016-finalists
but Tango raised some interest in the Valley. I have been invited at Xilinx head quarter in San Jose to the upcoming Xilinx Community Conference October, 5-7… I will emphasize that many of their SoC (zynq and al.) design will perfectly match Tango usage and could be easily combined and reduce TTM etc etc

if you have some message to transmit, feel free to give me some ideas:-)

thanks
