AEMB Benchmarked

A recent Masters of Science project from TU Delft did some comparison and benchmarking of various open source microprocessors including the AEMB. They compared it against several architectures including the LEON3 (SPARC V8), Plasma (MIPS) and others. They found that in terms of the speed and resources, the AEMB emerged as the optimised option.

Although they finally dropped the use of the AEMB, they presented some very useful results in Chapter 2 of the thesis.

AEMB in China

Seems like there are two important pieces of news to report: that the AEMB has made in-roads into China; and that the AEMB is capable of booting uC/OS-II. According to the information provided at a Chinese news website, a Chinese university (Shandong University of Science and Technology) has successfully implemented an SoC system based on the AEMB and boots uC/OS-II.

They published a paper on this in April of this year. The details are mostly in Chinese but some information can be gleaned from the diagrams and references.

The OpenBTS project is an exciting project. The OpenBTS project runs on GNU Radio hardware, which is why it excites – the USRP2 has the AEMB as its core processor.

OpenBTS is an open-source Unix application that uses the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) to present a GSM air interface to standard GSM handset and uses the Asterisk software PBX to connect calls.

AEMB Success Story

The GNU Radio project reports that there are now more than 1000 units of the AEMB processor in the wild. They have already shipped 1000 units of their software-defined radio hardware device that is powered by the AEMB core processor. This is quite an achievement for the AEMB processor core. It will serve as a motivation to spur further development.

GNU Radio is a collection of software that when combined with minimal hardware, allows the construction of radios where the actual waveforms transmitted and received are defined by software.
