ARC emulators use JTAG to cut external hardware
Available from ARC Cores are the first JTAG emulators for a configurable processor to provide powerful development and test capabilities normally only available with external hardware.
Board supports soft-processor-based SoC designs
ARCangel 3 from ARC Cores is a new development platform supporting the latest available FPGAs.
This is a foundation level function within the intellectual property that Jennic has developed for packet processing applications such as Bluetooth, WLAN and set-top boxes".
He adds, "The primary reasons for choosing ARC's 32bit processor core are its configurability and flexibility.
In particular, the core's ability to support different architectures and extensions helps us to minimise silicon area, code size and power consumption while obviating the need for a low-level RTOS in some applications".
The configurability and extensibility of ARC's Tangent processor allows customers to create a processor core tailored to their application - providing considerable flexibility for communications applications.
The core can be optimised for cost, silicon area, power consumption, memory space, and performance.
This is unlike many other processor cores that are fixed, and cannot be modified by customers.
With ARC's ARChitect point-and-click interface, designers can create a custom Tangent-A4 processor in minutes.
ARC's processor is also extendible, which allows developers to add additional features to the processor core.
