Over-interpreting the extended ARM
October 20, 2009
At first glance, the new Xilinx announcement on extending ARM licensing to include Cortex, as well as embedded memories and AMBA communication peripherals, would seem to be a PR challenge to Altera taking the form of “Anything MIPS can do, ARM can do better.” We’ve already talked about ARM dominance in the FPGA world in a previous column. It's fair to say that Xilinx sees its Power license as limited, and wants to join the dominant RISC team. It's also important to point out that Xilinx has worked with ARM in the past, albeit not in direct core integration.
