Abstract
Recently, a number of System-On-Chip (SoC) devices have been released that combine conventional microprocessors with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in the same package. While these devices have had success in other scientific fields, there is still much to explore regarding their applications to acoustics. Their flexibility in configuration may prove very useful in cases where upstream audio acquisition hardware must be changed on the fly, or when a scientist may decide to change parameters of their processing task. To explore the application of these devices to acoustic sensing, we investigate the use of a Xilinx SoC device to implement a custom on-the-edge acoustic array processor. This research presents the architecture of the array processor, details how the SoC performs in a simulated acoustic signal processing application, and demonstrates how hybrid SoCs can be utilized by acousticians to create specialized, performance-driven frameworks for their processing needs.
