Developers using Atmel’s line of microcontrollers based on its ARM-based
CAP architecture (see “Chip Twists ARM
With Custom Logic” at www.electronicdesign.
com, ED Online 15982) can now take
advantage of Trango’s Hypervisor virtualization
software. CAP’s FPGA-style logic is
locked down at the factory before the chips
ship, but Hypervisor works on these as well
as the FPGA-base development and starter
kits from Atmel. The real-time Hypervisor
allows multiple client operating systems
such as Linux to run on a CAP micro.
