Abstract: Streaming applications are a keystone in several emerging multimedia services like DVB-IPTV, VoD and on-line gaming. Due to the high computing requirements and real-time constraints inherent to this kind of applications multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoCs) have been proposed as a solution. In addition, the FPGA technology has become popular among systems-on-chip (SoCs) designers due to its low development cost and short time to market. Here we present a FPGA-based MPSoC platform for streaming applications where the important component of this platform is the AXI interface.
