Lattice Automat solution stack is revised with networking capabilities
Industrial application development is expected to accelerate as developers use the latest version of Lattice Semiconductor’s Lattice Automate stack for industrial automation systems. The revision include new real-time networking capabilities, AI-based predictive maintenance, increased processor performance and scalability and more flexible configurations.
The company also announced an updated version of the Lattice Propel embedded design environment to simplify the development of industrial automation systems, improve performance and with added functionality supporting RISC-V soft processor cores.
“The latest versions of Automate and Propel bring exciting new capabilities that make it easier than ever for developers to create innovative Industrial applications leveraging the latest industry standards and features,” said Matt Dobrodziej, vice president of segment marketing and business development at Lattice.
Enhancements to Lattice Automate include local to cloud real-time networking. It supports industry standard OPC UA (Open Platform Communications unified architecture) for cloud connectivity and embedded real-time local processing capabilities.
Version 1.1 has increased processor performance and scalability enhancements and a more flexible configuration, says Lattice, with more nodes without sacrificing the data latency.
Propel 2.1 now supports a new RISC-V RV32IMC core. This provides improved performance and multiply / divide extension functionality.
Additional IP cores include tri-speed ethernet MAC, multi-port memory controller, 10Gb Ethernet and PCIe. There is also enhanced on-chip debugging allowing concurrent processor and logic debug with a single download cable.
Lattice Semiconductor specialises in low power programmable devices, serving customers across the network, from the edge to the cloud, in the growing communications, computing, industrial, automotive and consumer markets.
