What is ARM DesignStart?
Arm DesignStart helps companies to develop innovative custom chips or FPGA designs, with the lowest risk possible and with an accelerated time-to-market. No matter a company’s budget or design expertise, application-specific designs are achievable and accessible.
- Fully functional ARM processor with CoreSight debugging subsystem developed by ARM
- Pre-built AHB/APB interconnect and ARM-developed peripheries
- Portable RTL code for almost any FPGA board
- Firmware examples
- Processor and CoreSight subsystem RTL obfuscated by ARM
- System interconnect cannot be changed because the tool used for code generation (Socrat) is not available
- This ARM source code cannot be used for the commercial usage accordingly with the ARM license agreement
Universal Simulator is the part of the another repository riscv_vhdl and it already includes ARM processor model.
