Objectives
  • The course clarifies the architecture of the P102X, particularly the operation of the coherency module that interconnects the e500s to memory and high-speed interfaces.
  • Cache coherency protocol is introduced in increasing depth.
  • The e500 core is viewed in detail, especially the SPE unit that enable vector processing.
  • The boot sequence and the clocking are explained.
  • The course focuses on the hardware implementation of the P102X.
  • A long introduction to DDR SDRAM operation is done before studying the DDR2/3 SDRAM controller.
  • An in-depth description of the PCI-Express port is done.
  • The course highlights both hardware and software implementation of gigabit / fast / Ethernet controllers.
  • Communication interfaces are explained according to the exact reference of the SoC: either TDM or QuiccEngine or DPAA.

  • AC6 has developed an optimized SPE based FFT coded in assembler language.
  • Performance for 1024 complex floating point single precision samples is:
    • - 91_386 core clock cycles without reverse ordering, 94_124 with reverse ordering
  • Performance for 4096 complex floating point single precision samples is:
    • - 470_778 core clock cycles without reverse ordering, 511_227 with reverse ordering
  • For any information contact formation@ac6-formation.com
A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com
  • Theoretical course
    • PDF course material (in English) supplemented by a printed version for face-to-face courses.
    • Online courses are dispensed using the Teams video-conferencing system.
    • The trainer answers trainees' questions during the training and provide technical and pedagogical assistance.
  • At the start of each session the trainer will interact with the trainees to ensure the course fits their expectations and correct if needed
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • The prerequisites indicated above are assessed before the training by the technical supervision of the traineein his company, or by the trainee himself in the exceptional case of an individual trainee.
  • Trainee progress is assessed by quizzes offered at the end of various sections to verify that the trainees have assimilated the points presented
  • At the end of the training, each trainee receives a certificate attesting that they have successfully completed the course.
    • In the event of a problem, discovered during the course, due to a lack of prerequisites by the trainee a different or additional training is offered to them, generally to reinforce their prerequisites,in agreement with their company manager if applicable.
