The novel ACE16Kv1 chip has proved the performances of the cellular nonlinear networks. Its signal processing capabilities need a powerful interface to be exploited. In this paper, the authors would present the main outline of a project able to carry out the fully performance of the ACE16Kv1 chip and its core in order to study the emergent chaotic dynamics. The hardware system has been mainly based on two chips: the ACE16Kv1 and a FPGA, which interface the 128/spl times/128 CNN cells with a PC, where a high-level program permits to interact with the system.
