AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

Given that our AMD Embed-ded G-Series System-on-Chip (SOC) recently

garnered a second major industry award, we are feeling rather humbled (and a little boastful, too).

So let’s start at the be-ginning. The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC was introduced1 in April of 2013 and was well received by the industry for its innovative marrying of an x86 CPU, integrated discrete-class GPU and I/O controller all on the same die. The SoC opened up more design opportunities for applications where low-power and small form factor were requirements.

AMD WINS AN EMBEDDY™ The technology was essentially brand new in May when industry analyst firm VDC Research bestowed its coveted Embeddy Award on our Embedded G-Series SoC2. The Em-beddy Awards honor “the most cutting edge products and services in the embedded design community.”

In discussing the award, VDC said, “Innovations that reduce complexity, footprint, and power are also critical to the future growth of embedded systems. As a result, AMD was awarded the Hardware Embeddy™ for its new G-Series SOC that combines GPU, CPU, and I/O components onto the same piece of silicon.”

VDC noted that the AMD G-Series SOC products fill a unique niche in the embedded hardware market. “By combining powerful graphics and data processing cores along with the I/O controller in a single package, AMD’s new product offerings provide optimally sized processing solutions that minimize complexity. As a result, OEMs can expect that their AMD G-Series SOC powered products will be highly competi-tive and cost effective for their customers.”

ASIA RECOGNITION The Embedded G-Series SOC also won accolades in China, where we took the Best Product Award for the Embedded Systems Development category for 2013, as designated by EDN China3.

Winners of the 2013 EDN China Innovation Awards were announced on November 12, 2013, in Shanghai, signaling the end of voting and tallying responses from the magazine’s 50,000 readers and website subscribers.

WHAT’S NEXT? Awards are great, and so is continual innovation. While the Embedded G-Series SOC has been collecting awards, our team at AMD began showcasing our 2014 roadmap4 last fall for the fast-growing embedded computing market (noting that we are the only company to design both ARM and x86 processor solutions for low-power and high-performance embedded compute designs).

In 2014, we’ll be introducing our “Steppe Eagle” APU SoC, designed to expand the breadth of the current AMD Em-bedded G-Series SOC family by providing both higher-per-forming options and lower-power options. Steppe Eagle will feature an enhanced “Jaguar” CPU core architecture and AMD Graphics Core Next GPU architecture that include new features for increased CPU and GPU frequency. “Steppe Ea-gle” is designed for low-power embedded applications, and will offer increased performance-per-watt both at a lower TDP than the current AMD Embedded G-Series APU SOC, as well as extending the high-end performance above 2 GHz.

Also among our planned offerings for 2014 is a new high-performance AMD Embedded R-Series processor family, the “Hierofalcon” CPU SoC family based on the ARM Cortex-

™-A57 architecture. “Hierofalcon” is the first 64-bit ARM-based platform from AMD targeting embedded data center applications, communications infrastructure and industrial solutions. It will include up to eight ARM Cortex™-A57 CPUs expected to run up to 2.0 GHz, and provides high-perfor-mance memory with two 64-bit DDR3/4 channels with error correction code (ECC) for high reliability applications.

2013 was a good year for AMD’s Embedded Solutions group. We were humbled by these important awards, and we’re proud of our achievements. And we’re on a trajectory for some pretty amazing innovation in the coming months for both our AMD Embedded G-Series and Embedded R-Series SOC families. Stay tuned.

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

WITH EMBEDDED SYSTEMS, THE FUTURE IS ALWAYS JUST BEGINNING

What is the limit to the amount of processing power we can build into embedded systems? Looking over the developments of the past twenty or so years, we can only conclude that the limit is simply the limit of our ability to embed

more processing power. Now if that sounds like circular rea-soning, it is simply a conclusion drawn from observation and, of course, Moore’s law. The relentless push to embed more intelligence, more performance and more I/O into a wider array of systems and devices has led us from simple 8-bit microcontrollers of yesteryear to the advanced multicore systems-on-chip we are seeing today. And by using the term

“system on chip,” we are no longer talking about the relatively rare, high-volume custom-fabricated devices. SoCs are going mainstream and their target applications are exploding.

Now in addition to multicore 32-bit—and more recently 64-bit—processors, we have mountains of on-chip peripherals, very high-performance graphics and high-speed connectivity in the form of USB 3.0, 10/100/1000 Ethernet and more. In addition, the high-performance on-chip processing power can be augmented by coprocessors that have been mostly used as graphics processors but which can, as in the exam-ple of the AMD Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), also be used as very powerful numeric processors. These have come

to be known as general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs). Even the main CPUs are approaching performance levels that were once considered the domain of the kinds of supercomputers that were built into what look like lobby or salon couches.

Now with numeric and graphical coprocessors that can be programmed with languages like OpenCL and OpenGL, which fit with the C language, the power of these devices is more available to mere mortals. In fact, what was once avail-able only on a large, power-consuming circuit board is now accessible on a single die and with even more processing power and connectivity bandwidth consuming considerably less electrical power and at a much lower cost. In fact, some such devices even have a dedicated on-chip 8-bit microcon-troller with the sole job of optimizing the device’s power consumption—embedded within embedded!

The result is an ongoing explosion of the embedded industry ramping up to the realization of the Internet of Things with many billions of connected intelligent devices. In fact, many large devices are networks of things in their own right. The average modern automobile is permeated by microproces-sors, microcontrollers and several internal networks. In turn, it is also connected to the outside world via wireless Internet, GPS, cellular communications and sensors for driver assist systems. The home is linked to the web and to the phone systems (which are increasingly interconnected) for security and for smart power with appliances that communicate to save power and offer user convenience. And this will not stop anytime soon.

Now that system designers have access to such powerful integrated devices at low cost and high ease of use, we can expect even more things to “wake up and connect.” A developer can choose a set of functions from a device family, and even if there are some parts he or she will not use, the low cost, proven performance and time-to-market will make many of them far preferable to a full custom design with all its delays and risks. There is a whole world of systems and devices to be developed, and there is a whole world of people ready and anxious to use this connected world. And now we have the tools to make it a reality.

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

T oday’s embedded solutions are driving higher per-formance applications in smaller form factors, from sophisticated industrial control and automation applications that require complex processing algo-rithms to digital signage applications that require

high-performance graphics processing. Additionally, these applications often require low power consumption and sup-port for open standards in order to provide the highest levels of design flexibility. To enable these applications, developers need embedded processing platforms that deliver advanced performance while helping to reduce time-to-market and development costs.

New highly integrated system-on-chip (SOC) processors are available that feature a high-performance x86 multi-core processor, a discrete-class graphics processing unit (GPU), an I/O controller and error-correction code (ECC) memory support for high reliability – all on a single die. With in-creased chip-level integration, developers can achieve new levels of processing efficiency, while retaining a low power design and a significant footprint reduction to reduce man-ufacturing costs and minimize design complexity.

This article will describe the benefits, technology, and target markets for single-chip SOCs so developers can make in-formed decisions about whether this type of solution is right for their next embedded design projects.

ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS Typical processing SOCs are comprised of one or more mi-crocontroller or DSP cores, memory blocks, timing sources, peripherals, external interfaces, analog interfaces, voltage regulators, and power management circuits. The processor is usually powerful enough to run a Windows, Linux, Android, or RTOS operating system.

Traditionally, SOC processor architectures have not been widely utilized for graphics-intensive applications. For these applications, developers typically design a system whereby CPUs and GPUs are separate processing elements and there-fore, they usually do not work together efficiently. Each has a separate memory space, requiring an application to copy

data from the CPU to GPU and then back again. Additional chips are also required to make a complete system.

The evolution of the accelerated processing unit (APU), pioneered by AMD, comprised of a low power CPU and a discrete-class GPU with a companion I/O unit in a two-chip architecture. The APU was the first step toward the realiza-tion of a new generation of SOC processors. APUs enable a large amount complex data processing more efficiently than either a CPU or GPU alone, but in a larger footprint than a single-chip SOC.

HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING Single-chip SOCs, like their APU predecessors, enable “het-erogeneous computing,” which refers to systems comprised of multiple processor types, typically CPUs and GPUs, and usually on the same silicon die. There are numerous advan-tages to heterogeneous computing but most importantly, heterogeneous computing enables each processor element to perform efficiently at what it does best, and to work co-operatively. With heterogeneous computing the processors share memory space so there is no need for them to copy data back and forth.

Using its high-performance vector processing capabilities, the onboard GPU is free to perform parallel operations on very large sets of data at much lower power consumption than a CPU could. Meanwhile, the onboard CPU handles scalar pro-cessing tasks that support general-purpose functions, such as running the operating system. Heterogeneous computing via an integrated single-chip SOC results in dramatic performance increases per watt as compared to ad hoc CPU+GPU chipsets.

TARGET APPLICATIONS FOR SOCS Digital signage systems, optimized to provide immersive HD visual experiences across multiple displays for a wide range of environments such as supermarkets, shopping centers, and transportation hubs, require the high-speed delivery of HD multimedia content, typically in a small form factor design. Low power consumption is critical for these types of systems, as it helps designers alleviate thermal dissipation challenges within the system.

Thin clients also rely heavily upon HD video and graphics, and are dependent upon improved data transfer rates in order to create enhanced Internet experiences. Industrial control and automation systems, from headless control systems to complex display systems and human-machine interfaces, also depend upon high-performance, low-power processor architectures. Industrial control and automation applications also typically require software to be supported across a broad spectrum of devices. The single-chip SOC is a very at-tractive option for this application domain, due to its support for open standards such as OpenCL.

Another key enabler for heterogeneous computing is a sys-tem’s ability to operate in multivendor environments. The Open Computing Language (OpenCL), which enables parallel programming of GPUs, CPUs, and other processors, pro-vides a uniform programming environment for developers to write efficient, portable code across different hardware and software platforms. With OpenCL, programmers can preserve their expensive source-code investments, re-using code across platforms.

HIGH-DEFINITION GRAPHICS In order to provide visually stunning graphics for a broad range of applications, GPUs often include hardware accel-eration capabilities. The Unified Video Decoder, which is included in advanced GPUs from AMD, decodes H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-4 video formats natively at the processor level. AMD’s Video Codec Engine, included in the AMD G-Series SOC’s integrated GPU, encodes videos using H.264 com-pression with full, custom hardware acceleration. Dedicated hardware acceleration engines for video decode and encode are particularly beneficial for multimedia-intensive applica-tions such as digital gaming and digital signage.

Standard API support is also an important consideration for HD video applications, as it enables developers to expand their software development options. The OpenGL API (the latest version is OpenGL 4.3) enables 2D and 3D graphics and is often used for digital gaming applications. The DirectX API (the latest version is DirectX 11.1), enables support for multimedia-related task within Microsoft platforms, delivers 2D and 3D rendering, GPU compute and even power efficien-cy and is also especially useful for games and video, among other application areas.

Electronic gaming systems, which often feature vibrant 3D graphics displayed across multiple monitors, can benefit from the significant performance boost enabled with vid-eo-and graphics-optimized SOC processors. SOC processors that feature DirectX support with a scalable, x86-based architecture can help system designers meet aggressive performance targets.

SMALL FOOTPRINT With higher integration (including the I/O controller), the single-chip SOC occupies less real estate than compara-bly-performing CPU+GPU chipsets. As mentioned earlier, a single-chip SOC can save more than 30% space compared to a two-chip solution, requiring fewer board layers. The perfor-mance-per-watt profiles provided by SOCs can also enable developers to eliminate mechanical fans from their designs in many cases. With fewer moving parts, there is less risk of failure and a significant reduction in noise.

The small footprint of a single-chip SOC makes it ideal for numerous application areas, improving not only power con-sumption but also price/performance. The small footprint and power savings also makes single-chip SOCs ideal candi-dates for smaller single-board computer (SBC) and comput-er-on-module (COM) designs, including PC/104, Pico-ITX, Q-Seven, nanoEXTexpress and Mobile ITX.

SUMMARY As embedded systems evolve for advanced applications such as digital signage, digital gaming, and industrial control and automation, the demand for low power, exceptional graphics, and greater performance per watt has increased.

Single-chip SOC solutions, such as AMD Embedded G-Se-ries SOCs, are smaller in size, offer dramatic performance improvements, and are more energy efficient than most CPU+GPU chipsets. With a high level of integration, SOC processors can save designers valuable time and cost while helping them achieve advanced system capabilities.

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

IBASE Technology Inc. was approached by a customer that required a bedside terminal for use in hospital patient care, and that would offer both “infotainment” options for patients and data access points for medical staff. The result was a pure-purpose machine used for

patient information and video-on-demand that replaces a variety of other hospital systems. The BST-1850, that is cur-rently in use in three hospitals in Japan and Spain with more than 1000 units sold.

The bedside information terminal is practical and powerful because it’s built atop the 1.6GHz, AMD G-Series T56N Accel-erated Processing Unit (APU). It has processing and graphics muscle and can handle a variety of uses and applications

– from patients who want to do online gaming to physicians who want to examine a video replay or 3D scenography. IBASE said the AMD APU had better thermal performance than com-peting solutions that were considered, and it was available at the price/performance they needed for the application.

At IBASE, the development process was focused on the notion that the BST-1850 must serve two equally important constituencies.

For patients, the BST-1850 was designed to use in watching television and movies, surfing the Internet, gaming, placing orders at the hospital shop, making phone calls, choosing meals, accessing email, paying their hospital bill and viewing

hospital information such as facilities guides.

The medical staff puts the device to use in other ways, in-cluding as a portal to the patient’s electronic health records, or monitoring vital signs. They also use it as an input and review device for the treatment regimen. The system can be set up so that it will alert staff to a patient’s specialized dietary needs quickly, so they can review orders from the physician, and more.

Because it is used for viewing all kinds of information, the system includes a projective, capacitive multifunctional, slim, LCD (16:9) 18.5” touch screen (1366 x 768) with a front panel ingress protection (IP) rating of IP65. The unit oper-ates on a 12VDC power supply, and weighs in at just under 10 pounds for the monitor. The separate main body weighs in at about 5.5 pounds, and has built-in cellphone-level functionality, as well as a 16GB solid-state drive (SSD) and 2GB DDR3-1066 memory.

The bedside medical information terminal supports many different input/output modules. A 1.3 megapixel Web cam-era, 2W + 2W speakers, IC card readers, 2D barcode readers and RFID are all standard input/output devices. Interface include Bluetooth, IEEE802.11 n b/g standard wireless LAN, 2 LAN interfaces, four USB 2.0s (two on the main body and two on the terminal), 2 SATA 2.0 interfaces, as well as audio in (1 port) and audio out (2 ports).

The unit also was designed with local-area network and wireless connectivity support, so there can be two-way transfer of real-time information between the terminal and the nursing station or other areas of the hospital.

The system is easily expandable, too, for options including fingerprint scanners, IP phones or other peripherals, de-pending on the customer’s needs. For instance, a built-in Webcam (with privacy shutter) can facilitate physician joint consultation via Skype between different divisions in hospi-tals or small clinics or with the patient’s family members.

IBASE says the BST-1850 can be purchased as a replacement for about a dozen other hospital systems, such as: IC card

Devices replace a variety of other hospital systems and provide patients with infotainment options and medical staff with access to records and more

readers used for accessing patient information, and through which nurses and doctors log in and check in; barcode readers, used for accessing patient information; fingerprint authenticators, used for security and identification purposes; medical touch panels; patient bedside record keeping devic-es; cameras with network connectivity for bedside real-time monitoring; emergency handsets for call communications; emergency call buttons; television displays; stereo speakers; and microphones for hands-free communication.

The design of the unit is one of its greatest differentiators. Unlike other medical bedside terminals, the BST-1850 is not an all-in-one design. The bedside terminal with its 10-point multi-touch panel can be placed on a table or in a cantilever position on a swivel arm. The unit’s separate control box is secured to the wall which allowed IBASE to keep the bedside unit small. The screen and wall units are connected via a customized cable that can convey low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), USB, power and control signals.

The unique design also limits the weight of the unit; the dis-play terminal is at least twice as light as all-in-one systems, making it easier to move around or carry.

The unit secured to the wall handles the processing power and is less prone to failure than all-in-one models because it is not being jostled or carried around, and better protects the hardware. The unit was designed to meet the UL-60601-1 safety regulations.

With safety a major priority, the BST-1850 meets the exact-ing safety requirements of a healthcare setting. The plastics

used in building the system are certified anti-bacterial and dust-proof, as well as chemical and alcohol wipe resistant. For privacy considerations, the webcam includes a mechani-cal shutter the patient can close for privacy. The camera can be disabled altogether as well.

The approximate overall dimensions of the terminal are 18” x 14” x 1.4”, while the main body is about 5” x 12” x 2.4”.

The BST-1850 multi-touch bedside terminal recently was awarded the 2013 Taiwan Excellence Award.

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

T he AMD Embedded R-Series platform delivers high-performance processing coupled with a premium high-definition visual experience in a solution that is still power efficient, enabling unprecedented integrat-ed graphics and multi-display capabilities in embedded

applications that can be compact and low power.

The AMD R-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is designed to efficiently handle your advanced multimedia and computational workloads. With average power below

1. Unified Video Decoder (UVD 3) for hardware decode of high definition video.2. AMD Virtualization™ technology. When used as part of a DAS 1.0 implementation can improve the performance, reliability and security of embedded applications. 3. As part of a comprehensive security program, AMD strongly recommends enabling Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) and using up-to-date third-party anti-virus software.Note: Always refer to the processor/chipset data sheets for technical specifications. Feature information in this document is provided for reference only.

Delivering exceptional performance in a power efficient platform.

AMD EMBEDDED R-SERIES APU PLATFORM

13 watts and discrete-class AMD Radeon™ graphics perfor-mance integrated into the AMD R-Series APU, applications that previously required a discrete graphics card can be developed in smaller form factors with lower power and cost. For more demanding graphics applications, AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics technology can combine the processing power of AMD R-Series APUs and AMD Radeon™ Embedded 6000 Series GPUs to more than double graphics performance compared to using discrete graphics alone.

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

out. The best equipment manufacturers have helped solve such problems by replacing rotating hard drives with sol-id-state media built from memory chips with no moving parts. They also utilize larger, high-reliability fans with long life spans to help avoid failures, though additional care must be taken to thwart the ever-present dust and dirt which can quickly clog intake filters, fans and cooling components. Choosing a strong equipment vendor involves understanding their design choices and how they affect system reliability.

As obvious as the reliability concern may seem, some equip-ment vendors continue to try to trim costs by using off-the-shelf hardware designed for personal computers (PCs). This is more common with graphics cards than any other component type. The problem is that PCs typically have a very different set of reliability requirements than embedded applications like slot machines. PC technology turns over quickly, and the average PC is designed to last for about 3-4 years. However, it is generally assumed that the PC is only operating for some small percentage of the day, sometimes only 6-8 hours. Doing the math you can see how operating such a device in a casino 24 hours a day, 7 days a week would quickly consume its intended life cycle. Fans are a particular weakness of PC graphics cards, which most often use very small, high-speed fans because they must cool the GPU within a relatively confined space. Their high speed increases noise and accelerates mechanical wear while their small size allows them to clog more easily. The cost-sensitive nature of the PC market also puts pressure on manufactures to use lower-cost components, particularly capacitors, which can further reduce reliability. When considering the lost revenue of a downed slot machine on a casino floor and the cost of the impending service call, the total cost of one failure can outweigh any savings achieved with low-cost graphics cards.

EMBEDDED GPUS ARE NO GAMBLE

By Ben Boehman, Technical Marketing Engineer, AMD Embedded Solutions

Electronic slot machines are an important revenue tool for most gambling institutions. They offer a unique combination of wagering and entertainment that appeals to the masses. Despite higher payouts, the sheer volume of play typically yields a majority

contribution to the bottom line of any casino. Despite their importance, many gaming operators don’t seem to put adequate thought into the hardware that goes into these embedded systems, and how it can affect their business. The truth is that what is under the hood of these machines does matter, possibly in ways you wouldn’t expect.

The first thing a successful electronic slot machine must deliver on is entertainment.  The game’s content will be the first and most important factor in a machine’s success. How-ever, while enjoyable game-play is important to keep players engaged longer, eye-catching graphics are what draw players to a machine in the first place. Today’s consumers are surrounded by high-definition multimedia in their daily lives and expect no less from their casino gaming experiences. High-end electronic slot machines need high-performance components to power today’s immersive, 3D graphics-inten-sive games. The system’s GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is the engine that makes this possible. Every gaming system with a display has some kind of GPU. Machines with low to moderately complex graphics may use integrated graphics units, where the GPU is combined with the CPU (central processing unit) on a single silicon-based microchip. High-er-end machines will typically use a “discrete” GPU, where the GPU is a separate microchip of its own, allowing more performance. GPUs and related display technology are key to maintaining that visual edge. It is estimated that electron-ic gambling machines will consume more than 2.5 million GPUs this year1, but not all solutions are created equal.

The second critical feature of a slot machine is reliability. Any operator can tell you that a down machine equals lost revenue. Floor space is precious, and no one can afford to leave any corner of it sitting idle. Common points of failure for gaming machines (and many other types of computer equipment) are mechanical devices like hard drives that store game data, and fans that keep electronic components like CPUs and GPUs cool. By nature, mechanical devices that move eventually wear

AMD EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS GUIDE

GPU chip vendors like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) have addressed some of these problems by offering specialized products specifically for embedded markets. AMD has lev-eraged its 28 year history of GPU design for PCs and console gaming devices to create embedded GPUs that are espe-cially well-suited for electronic gaming machines. In fact, a host of electronic gaming manufacturers already use AMD embedded GPUs today. By digging into their technical char-acteristics, one can start to understand their value. The first big difference is power consumption. Embedded discrete GPUs tend to fall into the 25-35 watt power range while main-stream graphics cards for desktop PCs are typically in the 30-75 watt range. Since power consumed by electron-ic devices is converted to heat, operating at lower power levels has several benefits. Fans can either be eliminated altogether or run at low speeds to improve reliability and reduce noise. With reduced air-flow requirements inside the cabinet, equipment is less likely to become clogged with dust and dirt. Lower power consumption also means less electricity is consumed, and therefore there is less heat to remove from the gaming floor via air conditioning. Each of these benefits adds to the cumulative cost savings over the life of the product. They may seem small individually, but savings may be multiplied by hundreds of units in a large scale deployment.

Another significant benefit of AMD embedded GPUs is high-er levels of integration. To understand how this is relevant, one must consider how the circuit boards that house GPUs are designed. A typical discrete GPU microchip is packaged as a single device that is soldered to a printed circuit board. GPUs require lots of memory to do their work, so four to eight additional memory chips are soldered to the circuit board as well. GPU memory interfaces are comprised of over 150 signals and routing them all between the GPU and

memory chips takes lots of board space. AMD created multi-chip-modules (MCMs) for embedded markets that contain the GPU and memory chips on the same device package. The required circuit board space to implement the MCM is nearly half that of traditional GPUs. This higher level of integration greatly simplifies designing a system with a discrete GPU. The smaller footprint makes it very easy to integrate the GPU onto the main-board with the system’s CPU and elim-inate the separate graphics card altogether. Many gaming hardware providers utilize AMD’s embedded GPUs in exactly this way. They benefit by providing smaller form-factors that are easier to design, install and service.

The fact that PC hardware evolves quickly adds another detrimental attribute to consumer graphics cards. Typical production life is only about 18 months, meaning hardware vendors may have to qualify replacements multiple times over the life of a gaming machine design. Even operators may feel the pinch if existing units need replacement or if they need to order more a year down the road. Cases where hardware changes require recertification of the product represent large cost implications to the hardware vendor, which are indirectly passed on to operators. Providers like AMD offer embedded GPU microchips with longevity com-mitments of up to 7 years. They understand that continued availability of product is critical for embedded systems like electronic gaming machines. This commitment helps ensure stable supply to meet current and future product demand, and reduce long-range costs.

Both gaming hardware vendors and purchasers must understand the implications of the hardware that is implemented in their gaming machines. After all, this equipment represents an investment in their business that can directly impact revenue. Cutting corners is a gamble unworthy of the risk.
