Actel has announced the availability of CoreMP7, a soft ARM7 family processor optimised for use in Actel FPGAs, bringing the flexibility and fast time to market of programmable logic to this industry standard in processor technology.
Under an agreement announced in March 2005 with ARM, Actel is now offering the 32-bit ARM7 family microprocessor for use in its products, free of licence fees, greatly reducing the cost of entry and increasing designer access to system-on-chip (SoC) development with the ARM7 family. Exploiting the benefits of Actel's flash-based architecture, it says CoreMP7 will be available for use in ARM-ready versions of its ProASIC3 family of FPGAs.
Allowing low-cost system integration, Actel says that its innovative business model requires no additional charge for CoreMP7 when an ARM-ready ProASIC3 device is purchased. CoreMP7 will later be extended for use with other families, including devices based on the recently announced Actel Fusion technology, which incorporates both analog and nonvolatile memory on a single device to enable a 'true' programmable system chip.
Actel's CoreMP7 is supported by the large ecosystem of tools and knowledge that currently exists for the ARM7 family. Additionally, ARM RealView development tools are available from Actel. CoreMP7 will also be supported by a complete development environment.
