Overview

Synopsys offers a complete suite of development tools, ARC development systems and operating systems, providing everything a developer needs to efficiently develop their embedded software application for ARC processor-based systems. Additionally, Synopsys works in close cooperation with embedded hardware and software vendors, and open source projects, who offer developers a choice of industry-leading software development tools, drivers, operating systems, middleware and services to accelerate their ARC-based design.

Key features

  • ARC processor cores are optimized to deliver the best performance/power/area (PPA) efficiency in the industry for embedded SoCs. Designed from the start for power-sensitive embedded applications, ARC processors implement a Harvard architecture for higher performance through simultaneous instruction and data memory access, and a high-speed scalar pipeline for maximum power efficiency. The 32-bit RISC engine offers a mixed 16-bit/32-bit instruction set for greater code density in embedded systems.
  • ARC's high degree of configurability and instruction set architecture (ISA) extensibility contribute to its best-in-class PPA efficiency. Designers have the ability to add or omit hardware features to optimize the core's PPA for their target application - no wasted gates. ARC users also have the ability to add their own custom instructions and hardware accelerators to the core, as well as tightly couple memory and peripherals, enabling dramatic improvements in performance and power-efficiency at both the processor and system levels.
  • Complete and proven commercial and open source tool chains, optimized for ARC processors, give SoC designers the development environment they need to efficiently develop ARC-based systems that meet all of their PPA targets.

Benefits

  • ARC processors are highly configurable, allowing designers to optimize the performance, power and area of each processor instance on their SoC by implementing only the hardware needed.
  • The ARChitect wizard enables drag-and-drop configuration of the core, including options for Instruction, program counter and loop counter widths
  • Register file sizeTimers, reset and interrupts Byte ordering Memory type, size, partitioning, base address Power management, clock gating Ports and bus protocol Multipliers, dividers and other hardware features Licensable components such as a Memory Protection Unit (MPU), Floating Point Unit (FPU) and Real-Time Trace (RTT).
  • Adding/removing instructions
