Overview

The V805x is a synthesizable VHDL (soft) core design which is object code compatible with Intel's popular 8-bit 8051 microprocessor. The V805x 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 8051s in embedded control applications and want to integrate its functionality with other designs/peripherals/etc. onto a single chip (ASIC).

The V805x 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 V805x is significantly faster than the original 8051. It can use a faster clock speed than the original and uses fewer clock cycles than the original. The V805x implements the 8051 CPU; you can configure the peripherals you need for your applications (add more ports, timers, peripherals, etc. to make a custom version for your design needs).

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.

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.
