Processor of the day: Stretch S6100 and S6106
Last week we talked about Software Configurable Processors, and how they bridge the gap between general purpose CPU’s and FPGA’s. Yesterday a pair of them came in the mail.
Stretch S6000 & S6106
The S6100 is Stretch’s flagship product at this point (4 data ports full AIM interface and PCIe running at 345MHz). The S6106 is the low power device (2 data ports no AIM and no PCIe, clocked at 167MHz). This particular S6106 is an Engineering Sample. They are both based on the Xtensa VLIW core.
