Overview
GIDEL PROCeTM boards provide FPGA-based platforms for high-speed data acquisition systems, for vision systems, DSP applications and powerful reconfigurable computing. The FPGA, the memory and the daughterboards' flexible architecture (system I/O, DSP etc.) of the PROCe system,
enable the user to build complex designs at affordable price.
PROCeTM combined with the PROC developer's kit
and the PROC_HILs option, improves the project time-to-market.
There is no need to design:
- boards
- a PCI driver or an application driver layer
- define board constraints
- design memory controller or write host interface code
Designers can focus on their proprietary value-added design instead of spending
their valuable time to recreate standard design components.
With the PROCMultiPortTM, PROCMegaFIFOTM, PROCMegaDelayTM, innovative memory controller, the generated HDL code enables high speed, easy-to-use parallel access to large memories.
PROCe daughter boards
(PSDBs) enables users to achieve system connectivity with the PROCe board.
Off-the-shelf PSDBs as CameraLink, DVI and network interfaces, as well as general I/Os and DSPs can be used.
Users can build a unique PSDB with dedicated system requirements.

Development Environment
The PROCWizard initializes the hardware and automatically generates the:
- C++ class application driver
- Top-level designs and the interface modules / entities
- Device constraints (as pin-outs and pin drive)
- Interface documentation in HTML or Microsoft Word
The PROCMultiPort core provides two basic benefits:
- Simplifies achieving high system performance
- Replaces the need for inventory of special memories with standard memory and IP
The ByteBlaster via SignalTap or Identify, enable visibility of internal nodes using the available on-chip memory.
The PSDB_Proto daughter board includes a prototyping area that enables rapid system additions by wiring/soldering devices & connectors.
Logic analyzer connections are placed on the daughter board for easy debugging.
