Current generation embedded systems are built around only a small number of SOCs, which are again based on general-purpose embedded micro-processors, such as ARM and MIPS. These RISC-based processors are not, however, designed for specific functions such as networking and multimedia processing, whose importances have increased dramatically in recent years. Network devices for small business and home networks, are especially dependent upon such SOCs based on general processors. Except for PHY and MAC layer functions, which are built with hardware, all the network functions are processed by the embedded micro-processor. Enabling technologies such as VDSL and FTTH promise Internet access with a much higher speed, while at the same time explore the limitations of general purpose microprocessors. In this paper we design a network processor, embed it into an SOC for Home gateway, evaluate the performance rigorously, and gauge a possibility for commercialization.

We have designed LED display system using ARM7TDMI processor and implemented hangul input and output. This system is easily extensible because controller board and LED matrix board were designed one module. Possible Input Methods of LED display system are PC, PDA and remote controller's wired and wireless communication. We have ported QT/Embedded 2.3.7 with touch panel Input at embedded board of Linux OS 2.4.18 and PXA255 Processor based. QT Application which we coded is able to input displaying text using ethernet communication on embedded system. Many of indicating text data is able to be saved because only korean alphabet codes are stored for data which users want displaying.

In this paper, a novel concept based on embedded processor and reconfigurable logic is proposed for efficient manufacturing test and design verification. Unlike traditional gap between design verification and manufacturing test, proposed concept is to combine both design verification and manufacturing test. The semiconductor chip which is using the proposed concept is named "SwToC" and SwToC stands for System with Test On a Chip. SwToC has two main features. First, it has functional verification function on a chip and this function could be made by using embedded processor, reconfigurable logic and memory. Second, it has internal ATE on a chip and this feature also could be made by the same architecture. To evaluate the proposed SwToC, we have implemented SwToC using commercial FPGA device with embedded processor. Experimental results showed that the proposed chip is possible for real application and could have faster verification time than traditional simulation method. Moreover, test could be done using low cost ATE.

The CRT monitor display system for SONAR signal that are commonly used in ships or naval vessels uses vector scanning method. Therefore the processing circuits of the system is complex. Also because production had been shut down, the supply of parts is difficult as well as high-cost. FPGA -based embedded processor system is flexible to adapting to various applications because it makes simple processing circuits and its core is easily reconfigurable, and provides high speed performance in low-cost. In this paper, we describe an implementation of SONAR signal LCD display system using the FPGA embedded processor system to overcome some weakness of existing CRT system. By changing X-Y Deflection and CRT control blocks of current system into FPGA embedded processor system, our system provides the simplicity, flexibility and low-cost of system configuration, and also real-time acquisition and display of SONAR signal.

In this paper, we implement a hardware for motor control based on FPGA + embedded processor using Zynq EPP which is All Programmable SoC in order to improve a structural problem of motion control based on such as DSP, MCU and FPGA previously. The implemented motor controller that is fused controller with advantage of FPGA and embedded processor. The signal processing part of high velocity motor control is performed by motor controller based on FPGA. A motion profile and kinematic calculation that are required algorithm process such as operation of a complicate decimal point has processed in an embedded processor based on dual core. As a result of a hardware implementation, it has an advantage that has can be realized an effect of distribution process in one chip. It has also an advantage that is able to organize as a multi-axis motor controller through adding the IP core of motor control implemented on FPGA.

This paper presents a frequency selection algorithm for minimization power consumption of processor in Mobile System. The proposed algorithm has processor designed low power processor using clock gating method. Clock gating method has improved the power dissipation by control main clock through the bus which is embedded clock block applying the method of clock gating. Proposed method has compared power consumption considered the dynamic power for processor, selected frequency has considered energy gain and energy consumption for designed processor. Or reduced power consumption with decreased processor speed using slack time. This technique has improved the life time of the mobile systems by clock gating method, considered energy and using slack time. As an results, the proposed algorithm reduce average power saving up to 4% comparing to not apply processor in mobile system.

This paper presents a low power design of the embedded 3D graphics rendering processor with the double span processing stage. The increase of hardware complexity by using the double span processing stage is ignorable. And the performance is equal to the rendering processor with the single span processing stage. It reduces the power consumption by using different clock frequencies.

In this paper, we designed ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptographic) Processor with Bus-splitting mothod for embedded SoC. ECC SIP is designed by VHDL RTL modeling, and implemented reusably through the procedure of logic synthesis, simulation and FPGA verification.

The design of ECC Processor for platform-based SoC is implemented using the design kit which is composed of many devices such as ARM9 RISC core, memory, UART, interrupt controller, FPGA and so on. We performed software design on the ARM9 core for SIP and peripherals control, memory address mapping and so on.
