or HDL simulators. Hardware engineers and software programmers
can test and verify a project before committing the final design
to silicon. |

project schedules, and cut costs. Built around the ARCtangent-A4
user-customizable processor, the ARCform platform has synthesizable
peripherals, software-development tools, performance profilers,
software simulators, an FPGA-based prototyping system, an RTOS,
communication-protocol stacks, device drivers, and other embedded
middleware and components. |

-A5 Microprocessor Core |
Like
it's predecessor, the ARCtangent-A5 microprocessor is a 32-bit
user-customizable RISC/DSP architecture for ASIC and SoC products.

of the ARCtangent-A5 processor is a fully synchronous, 32-bit,
four stage pipeline, RISC architecture and the ARCompact� mixed
16/32-bit, code density optimized ISA. The ARCompact ISA reduces
code size, improves code efficiency and provides a large instruction
expansion space. |

the ARCtangent-A4 core is suitable for deeply embedded low-power
applications, requiring only about 8,500 gates. For more demanding
tasks, developers can customize the core by adding new instructions,
registers, I/O buses, condition codes, DSP extensions, interrupts,
caches, scratchpad memories, and many other features. It also
supports multiprocessor designs. |
