Overview
The V65C32 is a synthesizable VHDL (soft) core design which is object code compatible with MOS Technologies's (and others') popular 8-bit 65C02 microprocessor, but adds modes that allows it to operate on 16 and 32 bit operands. The V65C32 is intended to be used in system-on-a-chip applications constructed using gate-arrays or standard cells. It should be especially interesting to designers who currently use 65C02s in embedded control applications and want to integrate its functionality with other designs/peripherals/etc. onto a single chip (ASIC) while adding additional data manipulation functionality.
The V65C32 is a fully synchronous design and contains no microcode; all control is implemented via state machines. It is written in synthesizable VHDL using IEEE standard libraries. It uses a single clock.
The V65C32 also contains debug assist hardware to provide "ICE"-like debugging access. This hardware is intended to be accessed through a JTAG port (a JTAG interface is also available).
The design kit includes the synthesizable VHDL model, a sample synthesis script, a sample constraint file, a VHDL test bench, and test stimulus files.
VLSI Concepts can provide customization of the design, if requested.
Design and integration assistance is also available from VLSI Concepts.

Announcing Arm AGI CPU: The silicon foundation for the agentic AI cloud era
For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.
ChiPy®: Bridge Neural Networks and C++ on Silicon — Full Inference Pipelines with Zero CPU Round-Trips
The ChiPy DSL is Quadric's Python framework for building complete on-chip pipelines. Using YOLOX-M as a case study, we show how backbone inference, box decoding, and NMS run entirely on the Chimera GPNPU — no host CPU intervention, no DDR round-trips, just Python compiled to silicon.
Unleashing Leading On-Device AI Performance and Efficiency with New Arm C1 CPU Cluster
As part of the new Arm Lumex compute subsystem (CSS) platform, the Arm C1 CPU cluster – the first built on the Armv9.3 architecture – is the next evolution of our highest performing CPU cluster for consumer devices, designed to unleash the full potential of on-device AI and elevate the user experience.
Encarsia: Evaluating CPU Fuzzers via Automatic Bug Injection
Hardware fuzzing has recently gained momentum with many discovered bugs in open-source RISC-V CPU designs. Comparing the effectiveness of different hardware fuzzers, however, remains a challenge: each fuzzer optimizes for a different metric and is demonstrated on different CPU designs.
