PISCATAWAY, NJ--(Marketwire - August 27, 2008) - Power.org, theorganization that promotes and develops standards for PowerArchitecture® technology, today announced the PowerArchitecture Physical Connection for High Speed Serial TraceSpecification, new web-based training tools, regional trainingprograms, and its newest member, LSI Corporation.
The Power Architecture Physical Connection for High Speed SerialTrace Specification defines the high-speed serial protocol and theconnection method for tracing programs through a system, improvingefficiency and cutting the time required to debug PowerArchitecture devices.
"By defining the high-speed serial protocol and the connectionmethod, we've given designers a standardized solution with aflexible configuration that can support virtually any design,"said Charlie Ayer, member of the technical staff at Wind River.
The specification, developed collaboratively by AMCC, Freescale,IBM, Lauterbach Datentechnik, Mentor Graphics, Wind River, andXilinx, defines a scalable serial protocol, occupies minimalprinted circuit board space, and employs commonly used physicallayers. The specification can be downloaded atwww.power.org/resources/downloads/.
Along with the specification, Power.org announced new additions toits educational program and its member roster:
-- Power.org will hold a series of one-day events in Hsinchu,Taiwan;
