Proxima (All in ONE VINTAGE COMPUTER/ARCADE emulator)

Proxima Arcade Board

Can emulate any vintage hardware up to mid 90s of XX century!

Single board FPGA based multimedia platform, can act as:

  • Stand-alone emulator

  • Modular emulator for very large scale computer systems

● Inside FPGA user has a “sandbox” surrounded by the IP modules supporting the memory, video and audio connectivity

● Sophisticated HOST uC provides the link to USB, SDHC and networking functions (WIFI)

● Emulator status is depicted on the OLED DISPLAY in REAL-TIME

● HOST uC simplifies the OTA ISP DFU

● Board has the high precision analog VCO and sync separator for orchestrated HDMI genlock to multiply/split the video output up to 100Kx100K resolution

● Procyon can emulate:

  • All the antique computers based on 8 and 16 bit processors like (Intel I8080, I8085, I8088, I8086, I80186, I80286, Zilog Z80, Z80S180, MOS 6502, 65816, Motorola 680x)....

  • Most of the PCs of 90s based on 32 bit processors (Motorola 68xxx, Intel 80386, 80486, MIPS RISC R3000, ARM 7S TDMI)

  • Some workstations based on 64 bit processors like R4000

  • 8/16/32 bit game consoles



Proxima System Architecture



Some highlights:

● Huge Xilinx Spartan6 SLX75 FPGA

● ARM CORTEX M4 Microcontroller for SDHC/USB/MIDI/WIFI emulation

● 64 MBytes of SDR SDRAM @133 MHz

and high performance soft IP controller

● 2x HDMI ports and soft IP controllers and maximum resolution of 1280x720p

● 16 MBytes of SPI FLASH with fast DMA

controller

● AC97 audio codec with the soft IP filter

block and DMA serializer/de-serializer

● Sophisticated and flexible external bus

interface (5V tolerant)

● Large space for the target application

related Ips

● Highly sophisticated VCO for the coherent multi-monitor video output
