Current streams-C for the EPXA10DB, a generic tool for the development of complex control and signal processing systems

The Altera EPXA10DB is a development platform for reconfigurable computing, coupling an ARM microprocessor and a modest Altera Programmable Logic Device (PLD) on the same chip. Streams-C is a "C" style language that addresses hardware and software generation by extending the C language. A new port of Streams-C for the EPXA10DB is being developed to provide a standalone, custom-hardware-accelerated computing platform. This may prove to be useful in rapidly developing complex signal processing systems.
