Gemini platforms

Cortina Systems Gemini platforms

• The Gemini SoC is the project name for an ARMv4 FA525-based SoC

originally produced by Storlink Semiconductor around 2005.

• The company was renamed later renamed Storm Semiconductor.
• The chip product name is Storlink SL3516. It was derived from earlier

products from Storm named SL3316 (Centroid) and SL3512 (Bulverde).

• Storm Semiconductor was acquired by Cortina Systems in 2008 and

the SoC was produced and used for NAS and similar usecases.

• In 2014 Cortina Systems was in turn acquired by Inphi Corporation,

who seem to have discontinued this product family.

• Many of the IP blocks used in the SoC comes from Faraday Technology.

SoC

• Storlink SL3316 (Centroid) - ARM9 SoC (PCI, USB 1.1)
• Storlink SL3512 (Bulverde) - ARM9 SoC
• Storlink SL3516 (Gemini) / Cortina CS3516 - ARM9 SoC @300MHz
