StreamBlade SOE TM Initial 4 Product Options: Embedded Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer allows developers to take full advantage of the four independent Stream Offload Engines (SOEs). The StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer is designed to transport real-time streaming data and utilizes ESD’s Stream Offload Engine (SOE) technology to provide real-time streaming data paths between distributed processing nodes. The StreamBlade TM SOE-4 utilizes two Xilinx Virtex-4 FX60 FPGAs to implement four independent SOEs that provide zero-copy, full TCP/IP offload, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity for each configured 40 Pin ATA connector. The ESD StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer reduces development time and increases reliability for Communications, Military/Aerospace, Medical, and Industrial applications. The ESD StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer provides users with direct access to each SOE via a 40 pin ATA connector and/or via a Ethernet RJ-45 connection.

StreamBlade SOE TM Initial 5 More Options: The Stream Offload Engine (SOE) is at the core of the Embedded Systems Design, Inc. (ESD) StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer. StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computers utilize ESD’s SOE technology to provide zero-copy, full TCP/IP offload, and 10/100/1000 Ethernet connectivity between the configurable I/O at the 40 pin ATA connectors and network connected real-time streaming data processing nodes. ESD’s SOE technology acts to decouple real-time streaming data source and sink processing nodes allowing real-time processing jitter to occur without data loss. Each SOE is capable of running a Data Distribution Service (DDS) Source/Sink Agent. A DDS Source/Sink Agent allows each SOE to be a node on the DDS network where it can receive control and provide node status. The DDS Source/Sink Agent can be controlled to Source or Sink real-time streaming data utilizing the DDS network connectivity to support distributed processing. Application FPGA designs need not be DDS aware. Multi-casting is handled by the SOE running a DDS Source/Sink Agent.

StreamBlade SOE TM Initial 6 More Options: Four independent Stream Offload Engines (SOEs) allow the StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computer to send and receive real-time streaming data via the J1, J2, J3, and J4 (10/100/1000 Ethernet) RJ-45 connectors. The J6, J7, J8, and J9 (I/O) 40 pin ATA connectors allow developers the freedom to customize the connectivity necessary to interface with a variety of real-time streaming data sources and sinks that support interfaces such as Ethernet, RF, RS-232, RS-422, G.703, LVDS, and ECL. ESD StreamBlade TM single board computers can be configured to run without a host. StreamBlade TM single board computers may be configured into any host with available PCI slots including passive PCI back-planes. The StreamBlade TM SOE-4 single board computers can be daisy-chained together via the J1, J2, J3 or J4 (10/100/1000) RJ-45 Ethernet connectors to implement distributed applications.
