ALINX, in collaboration with PANGO, releases the first domestically produced Kosmo-2 programmable system platform FPGA development kit

Recently, ALINX, together with domestic FPGA chip leader PANGO, released the first domestically produced Kosmo-2 programmable system platform development kit AXK400. This platform development kit not only showcases significant breakthroughs in independent research and technological innovation by domestic enterprises, but also provides strong support for technological innovation and application development in various industries.

The core board of the Kosmo-2 development platform adopts a dual core ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, with a default main frequency of up to 1GHz and excellent processing capabilities. Its core board achieves 100% localization, which is conducive to ensuring the security and stability of the supply chain. At the same time, it has 350K logic units, which can efficiently handle complex computing tasks. In addition, the platform supports 8-channel high-speed HSSTHP transceivers, compatible with PCIE Gen3x8, providing strong guarantees for high-speed data transmission.

In terms of I/O interfaces, the Kosmo-2 core board performs well, supporting 37 MIOs and 144 PA IOs. Among them, 96 adjustable voltage IOs can be used for various configurations such as LVDS, greatly facilitating the design and application needs of developers. The platform's configuration of 8GB eMMC Flash, 2GB DDR3 memory, and up to 32MB of OSPI Flash storage further enhances its overall performance.

The Kosmo-2 development platform adopts a "core board+expansion board" model, providing users with a convenient way for secondary development and solution verification. Users can configure and extend interfaces as needed, enabling rapid product development and validation.

Compared to similar products in the market, Kosmo-2 has significant advantages in multiple aspects. Its PCIE interface supports GEN3.0, and the processor uses 64 bit dual core Cortex-A53 with a default frequency of up to 1GHz, while other products on the market mostly use 32-bit dual core Cortex-A9 with a default frequency of only 800MHz. Kosmo-2 not only supports QSPI Flash, but is also compatible with OSPI Flash, providing more storage options. In addition, the platform supports the CAN-FD protocol and has strong CAN 2.0 protocol compatibility, ensuring the efficiency and reliability of data communication.

The Kosmo-2 development platform has a wide range of applications in industries such as smart homes, safety monitoring, automotive electronics, software development and design, machine vision, intelligent manufacturing, video image acquisition and processing, intelligent industrial automation, fiber optic communication, medical equipment, instrumentation, and smart grids, providing excellent performance and superior solutions for a wide range of application scenarios.

ALINX highly looks forward to the release of the first domestically produced Kosmo-2 programmable system platform development kit in collaboration with PANGO. ALINX General Manager Ma Rui said, "The release of the Kosmo-2 multi-core heterogeneous architecture development platform is another important achievement in our technological innovation and product development. We believe that this platform will provide new impetus for technological progress and application innovation in various industries, and help in a new era of intelligence and efficiency."
