#71090 - RE: Xilinx missed opportunity?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Definitly missed. I was surprised that they dropped the E5. The ARM product competes in the Virtex Pro space so it made sense to drop it. Why license both Power PC and ARM? I wonder if the real reason to buy them was to keep it away from ARM.
I wondered what they would do with the E5. I was hoping they would keep it and sales would increase since it was backed by Xilinx. It was so easy to use, yet the address mapper, dual DMA, MMU, drag and drop FPGA peripherals made very powerful for an 8 bit MCU. Keil in-circuit debugging was a plus. A great product for legacy designs also. I think they are making a mistake. The Microblaze doesn't compete.
I hope they don't trash the SW, but apply to their current products.
The former CEO has gone to Stretch. They have an interesting product that uses C code to configure the FPGA fabric.
