"By moving up to the Xtensa LX processor and using our technology throughout their design groups, Olympus is showing the value and success they have found in working with Tensilica".
The Xtensa LX configurable processor can be used to meet high-performance and low-power goals far beyond the range of solutions achievable with standard general-purpose embedded processors.
The Xtensa LX processor achieves performance levels rivaling the power and performance of hardware-only designs built with hand-coded RTL because design teams use Tensilica's easy-to-use, integrated tools to rapidly and carefully tune the processor for their particular application or function.
Customised Xtensa LX processors are correct by construction and feature an automatically created matching software tool chain.
