Wiscore Inc. (Taipei, Taiwan) announced support for incorporating the Xilinx Spartan-II XC2S200 FPGA into uClinux/ARM7-based embedded systems and devices. The support consists of an “FPGA daughter board” that plugs into the expansion connector of Wiscore's href=”/products/PD5854205676.html”>NET-Start! platform, an ARM7/uClinux embedded system development kit.

The daughter board includes a JTAG port, a 4-digit 7-segment LED, 8 LEDs, 8 pushbuttons, 8 slide switches, a 20×2 dot matrix LCD module connector, a 16-color VGA connector, an A-type USB (host/client) port, a 16 bits/20bits stereo AD/DA converter, a Dupont connector, a 12MHz oscillator, and 3 clock inputs, Wiscore said.

Wiscore introduced the NET-Start! development kit in 2002. The hardware/software kit includes a single-board computer based on a 50 MHz Samsung S3C4510B (ARM7TDMI) system-on-chip processor and is supplied with uClinux preinstalled, the company said.
