By integrating all the required hardware and software into a single development platform, Synopsys has made it significantly easier for embedded designers to accelerate the development of their ARC processor-based SoCs." "Synopsys' ARC Software Development Platforms provide embedded software engineers an ideal, ready-to-use solution for efficient coding.
"As embedded designs grow in complexity, designers need integrated hardware and software solutions to help them speed their SoC development process and meet crucial project schedules," said John Koeter vice president of marketing for IP and systems at Synopsys. ARC MetaWare Lite is a free version of the ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit that can be used for software applications of up to 32Kb code size. Also available for the ARC Software Development Platforms are the open source GNU Toolchain and Synopsys ARC MetaWare Lite tools, which give designers flexibility to choose the ideal software development environment for their needs. The ARC Software Development Platforms are supported by Synopsys' ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit, enabling the development and debugging of highly optimised, high-density code. In addition, five Digilent Pmod Compatible connectors support the integration of other custom and commercially available hardware extensions. The built-in HapsTrak connector provides a fast tunnel, operating at up to 150MHz through the ARM AMBA AXI interconnect, enabling designers to easily connect the ARC Software Development Platform to Synopsys' HAPS FPGA-based prototyping system, where additional CPUs, peripherals or other custom logic can be integrated into the design for full SoC prototyping. The ARC AXS102 Software Development Platform includes the AXC002 CPU Card that supports the new ARC HS34 and HS36 processors in an FPGA implementation, ideal for the development of SoCs for high-performance embedded applications. For example, the ARC 770D processor can run up to 800 MHz.
The AXS101 Software Development Platform incorporates the AXC001 CPU Card that supports the ARC 625D, 770D, EM4, EM6 and AS221BD processors in an ASIC implementation, delivering at-speed operation. The ARC Software Development Platforms include CPU daughter cards that enable real-time software development, validation, code porting, software debugging and analysis on real hardware.
