Introduction to OpenCPI (US)

The Open Component Portability Infrastructure (OpenCPI) is an open source software (OSS) framework for developing and executing component-based applications on heterogeneous systems. By targeting heterogeneous systems, the framework supports development and execution across diverse processing technologies including GPPs (general purpose processors), FPGA (field programmable gate arrays), and GPUs (graphics processing units) assembled into mixed systems.

OpenCPI is beneficial to mission-critical applications such as Software Defined Radio (SDR) that have strict size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints which often require technology agility and diversity over time. OpenCPI also helps with code portability and reusability by providing the APIs, software modules and IP cores that abstract the complexities of the underlying hardware platform away from the application developer.

In this webinar, we will show you OpenCPI’s design methodology and how to verify and validate OpenCPI’s HDL workers using Riviera-PRO.
