在线问答
[问:eebyte] 请问介绍的这两种处理器除了存储应用之外还有其他适合的应用场合吗? 
[答: Lai_Teng] Intel announced in November it’s extended capabilities for the Intel? 80200 processor based on Intel XScale? Technology which is able to support a wide variety of applications in telematics, automotive, industrial and communications market segments where increasingly sophisticated products are designed for operation in demanding environmental situations.  [2003-4-3 10:44:42]
[问:9982] 请问:采用Intel XScale(tm)I/O处理品在综合存储和智能通信方面有哪些性能?怎样进行存储扩展?需要利用FPGA/CPLD器件进行存储扩展吗?有无介绍存储控制器的VHDL源码? 
[答:Choon_Yee] Memory capacity is fixed for each processor. E.g 80321 can support 1G SDRAM 64 bit or 512M for 32 bits.  [2003-4-3 10:45:28]
[问: hawkwhj] intel 80200的处理速度与intel960RN相比提高了多少

[答:Choon_Yee] Intel Xscale is based on ARM5 VTE architecture. For migration you"ll need some minor modification on the source code. Please refer to the http://developer.intel.com/design/iio/docs/iop310.htm  [2003-4-3 10:53:18]
[问:hwj2008] Intel XScale平台上,I/O的存储频率最快能达到多少? 
[答:Choon_Yee] For the case of 80321, since it is sitting on the PCI-X bus the throughput is about 1.06GB/s (theoretically)  [2003-4-3 10:56:19]
[问:leefuyong] 80321内部没有PCI桥,如果我们要在80321的PCI总线上接多个外设,我应该怎样设计,最多可以接多少外设。 
[答:Choon_Yee] it depends on application. If the 80321 is sitting at the secondary bus of a PCI-X bridge, the number of loading depends on the speed, it can vary from 9 to 2. [2003-4-3 11:03:50]
[问:lfp5558 @sohu.com] 采用Intel? XScale(tm) I/O处理器有哪些优点?使用中应注意什么问题?如何解决? 
[答: Tom_WANG] XScale technology has the benifit of "very low" power and high performance. It compatible with ARM V5TE. At normal case, you can save heat sink, fan,... cost on one system. Besides this, price/performance is the leading at industry. Other benifits is the module related to IO, as XOR, cache, ATU,.. to help customer resolve high demaning IO activity. Since it is alreayd mature technology, we don"t expect customer developing product has critical issue. We have dedicated TME supporting you  [2003-4-3 11:07:26]
[问:zths] Intel XScale常见的应用领域是那些,做需要大量数据运算的合适么? 
[答: Tom_WANG] Intel IO processor based on XScale technology fit in best on where product need IO, as network IO and storage IO. Field like TCP/IP, RAID related, iSCSI, NAS, and SAN field are fields IO processor can fit in. HW XOR, data cache, ATU and high perforance processot core can meet all these demand.  [2003-4-3 11:09:39]
[问:guilin @263.net] 请问其单价和开发系统单价是多少?请问开发系统好用吗?有何特点?RTOS有那些?调试方便吗? 
[答: Tom_WANG] Price has to get it from your local Intel sales. As for development system, it roughly from USD 1.6K ~ 4K, based on your tool demand. Intel IO processor has most of OS supporting, even SW solution included. OS like Linux, IxWork,... more than 12 kinds. Since IOP evaluation board is quite mature, we don"t expect the development enviroment would be the issue to you. We even has customer reference design roadmap for customer to refer at different product segment. Which, hardware and software reference design are ready  [2003-4-3 11:13:13]
[问: xuzhiping] 低层应用软件是不是用C语言编写的,能不能用于嵌入式系统的开发?如可以是用什么操作系统?  谢谢!

[问:程军] xscale的功耗是多少?如何得到该处理器的资料和样板设计资料。 
[答: Tom_WANG] The power consumption at 733MHz, 1.6V enviroment cost about 0.8W. different voltage at different speed could be even lower. You can either go on developer.intel.com, or get Intel Disti/sales get this infrmation. If you can"t find one, let me know I can help you. my e-mail is tom.wang@Intel.com  [2003-4-3 11:15:45]
[问:dryyc] How about the performance of PCI bus when xscale controls 4 PCI devices concurrent? And how to optimize performance ? Thank you. 
[答: Kee_Tiong] The PCI performance for XScale will depend on whether the IO interface for this XScale is configured/capable of PCI or PCI-X mode. For 4 PCI devices, a PCI-X bus can typically can go up to 100MHz, so for 80321 with 4 PCI devices, maximum performance should be able to reach ~800MHz.In order to optimize the performance, one of the easy way is to make sure none of the 4 PCI devices will bring down the PCI-X bus to PCI mode.  [2003-4-3 11:16:01]
[问:ljp] I/O处理器中存储器的速度能达到多少?相应的带宽呢?

[问:min] For Nas, what"s difference   using IOP and EID? 
[答: Tom_WANG] it mostly on lower power and high perfromance, 800MHz at 1.6V need about .8W. IOP also has HW XOR, data cache and other modeul to focus on IO related design. In response to EID, X86 need higher power and is general purpose processor.  [2003-4-3 11:26:56]

[问:olive] 80200和80312主要应用领域是哪些? 
[答: Choon_Yee] 80200 and 80312 combine togather as 80310. It has a PCI interface and it is suitable in all PCI related application, mainly in Storage.80200 itself is only the core and it is more flexible. You need an FPGA to interface with it and your application depends on what you have programmed on your FPGA.  [2003-4-3 11:39:14]
[问:xchjg] StrongARM是否要停产,另外XScale直接进行MPEG4可以吗?速度与功耗怎样?
[答: Tom_WANG] As far as I know SA110 already plan for EOL in the near future. Please talk to Intel sales or disti on exact date. MPEG4 decoder can hook under PCI. at seperate HW MPEG4 decoder, it could cost 4W more but will not occupy CPU bandwidth. if you use SW to support MPEG4, I suggest to use IOP at more than 600MHz. IOP at 600MHz cost only about .7W  [2003-4-3 11:40:00]

[问: samire] 请解释一下“非透明”PCI桥接器和“透明”PCI桥接器的区别。 
[答:Kee_Tiong] Both transparent and nontransparent bridge allow designers to add more PCI devices or more PCI option card slots than a single PCI bus can support. However, non-transparent bridges differ from standard, transparent PCI-to-PCI bridges by allowing independent mapping of primary and secondary bus address spaces, a key benefit when local devices require large address maps. Nontransparent bridge is normally used when there are two processor domain one in the primary PCI bus while the second on the secondary PCI bus. You can get more detail information at this URL http://developer.intel.com/design/bridge/  [2003-4-3 12:02:24]
