MP3 NG: A Next Generation Consumer Platform

R

System 
Implementation

This section describes how all of these pieces are integrated into a complete system. First 
described is the software architecture and the functionality of the key modules. Next is the 
architecture and implementation of the logic contained in the Spartan-II FPGA.

Software Architecture

The system software required to implement this device is shown in 

Figure 14

. The software 

components fall into four categories:

• RTOS. A Real Time Operating System is included in the software architecture in order to 

simplify the management of resources and concurrent activities.

• BIOS. The Basic Input Output System functions provide low level device management 

functions and hardware abstraction.

• Protocol Stacks. These modules implement the network protocol layers for the 

communications interfaces.

• Management Processes. These modules implement the application levels functions, and 

these run as processes under the RTOS.
