Rent A Coder - FPGA / CPLD with ARM

Site Wide Message: (current site time 2/9/2010 12:53:35 PM EDT)

Update for Indian coders using PayPal: As you know, PayPal recently blocked payments to India, including the
ones we sent. Our PayPal rep found a workaround that allowed us to resend them on the the 5th, and unlike previous attempts, these payments have not yet been returned to us (and we believe it worked). However we have never received a coherent answer from PayPal as to why they blocked any of the payments to start with, so this workaround may or may not work next month. If you wish to avoid the uncertainty and switch to Payoneer, they are offering a special to Indian workers. If you tell them you are from Rent a Coder and signup before February 28th, they will waive the typical $9.95 activation fee and expedite shipping for free (which will give you the card in hand in 7-10 days of approval).

Description:

Phase 1 Test Concept:
1. Indentify low cost ARM (i.MX27) with built in ATAPI and UDMA Mode 4.

2. Design PCB with ARM ATAPI interface connected to CPLD. CPLD will multiplex 5 ATAPI targets. PCB will include 5 IDE cconnectors to CPLD and 1 connector to attached directly to ATAPI interface on ARM. This connector will be used to test ATAPI. Extra i/o lines will be tied from CPLD to ARM. The ARM will use the I/O to tell the CPLD which drive should be active. ARM can send command to all drives at once or selective.

3. Program CPLD to act as mux for IDE bus.

4. Program ARM to burn DVD. We will provide source code example on how it is done with PC. ARM can run Linux, CE, low cost RTOS or Native C / ASM. Whatever method is chosen will need to support full speed burning of ATAPI drives.

5. Test ATAPI master / slave.

Phase 2 ARM software:
1. Final PCB up to 11 DVD/CD/DB drives. More than one PCB variant needed for cost. Some configurations will be 1 to 1, 1 to 4 or 1 to 7, 1 to 11.

2. Support internal hard drive for ISO images.
3. Supports OLED / LCD display.
4. USB2.0 HOST High Speed. Computer can send files to be burned. 5. USB2.0 DEVICE Full Speed. Can burn files from SD card or USB key.

6. Ethernet 10/100/1000 connectivity.

7. Reads DVD/CD/BD drive. Determines disc format and the best way to copy.</FONT>

8. We can provide example source code from PC on how to handle each media format. Source code is for reference only.

9. Possible support for up to 14 drives. More than one FPGA or CPLD can be used.
