AEMB Threading Optimisation

The result of a recent research collaboration between Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS and us, has been published and indexed in IEEE. This paper aims at explaining the architecture of the AEMB and optimizing its threading model. AEMB is a soft core, open source processor designed for FPGA implementation. AEMB uses a Read more…

Robo-Olympics 2014

We recently sponsored an outreach event organised by UTAR – Robo-Olympics 2014. This event was organised as a workshop cum mini competition where high-school kids were shown how to build simple electronic robots. The purpose of this competition is to inculcate an interest in engineering among the young. We are Read more…

AEMB Benchmarked

A recent Masters of Science project from TU Delft did some comparison and benchmarking of various open source microprocessors including the AEMB. They compared it against several architectures including the LEON3 (SPARC V8), Plasma (MIPS) and others. They found that in terms of the speed and resources, the AEMB emerged Read more…

Small and Fast

A recent Masters of Science project from TU Delft did some comparison and benchmarking of various open source microprocessors including the AEMB. They compared it against several architectures including the LEON3 (SPARC V8), Plasma (MIPS) and others. Their results show that in terms of the speed and size, the AEMB Read more…

AEMB in China

Seems like there are two important pieces of news to report: that the AEMB has made in-roads into China; and that the AEMB is capable of booting uC/OS-II. According to the information provided at a Chinese website, a Chinese university (Shandong University of Science and Technology) has successfully implemented an Read more…

AEMB Powered OpenBTS

The OpenBTS project is an exciting project. The OpenBTS project runs on GNU Radio hardware, which is why it excites – the USRP2 has the AEMB as its core processor. OpenBTS is an open-source Unix application that uses the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) to present a GSM air interface Read more…

AEMB Success Story

The GNU Radio project reports that there are now more than 1000 units of the AEMB processor in the wild. They have already shipped 1000 units of their software-defined radio hardware device that is powered by the AEMB core processor. This is quite an achievement for the AEMB processor core. Read more…
