ARM and Synplicity are working together to ensure that mutual customers can successfully implement the ARM processor across a range of FPGA device families
Suite supports full Cortex processor family
Development suite provides performance improvements and tuning for ARM processor support, most notably by providing better optimisation for the full Cortex processor family
Through the agreement, Oki enhances its CPU-core lineup with ARM technology. Oki also plans to introduce ASIC SoCs based on Oki uPLAT946, an integrated platform based on the ARM946E-S core, for digital consumer and automotive application markets by March 2004. Oki has been an ARM partner since 1995, when it licensed the industry-leading ARM7TDMI core and the company continues to license and incorporate ARM technology into its ASICs and uPLAT integrated platform.
"As a key industry standard technology, we have selected ARM microprocessors for Oki's uPLAT integrated SoC development platform, and have been expanding our portfolio accordingly", said Akira Kamo, President of the Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric.
"Oki has made the SoC field one of its top business priorities in response to customer demands, and ARM microprocessors are an integral part of this business strategy".
"Working closely with Oki, ARM technology is widely used through Oki's uPLAT integrated platform", said Takio Ishikawa, President, ARMKK.

Processor is first specifically for FPGAs
The ARM Cortex-M1 processor is the first ARM processor designed specifically for implementation on FPGAs
"This announcement demonstrates the rapidly increasing ARM presence in the digital consumer and automotive markets".
The ARM946E-S core is a synthesisable macrocell, widely used in embedded applications that require a good level of processing performance from a low-cost, and low-power solution.
The core has features needed in the embedded market such as: flexible instruction and data caches, Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) interfaces, amba AHB bus interfaces, a memory protection unit (MPU) supporting real time operating systems (RTOS), and interfaces for the embedded trace macrocell (ETM9) solution, enabling real-time trace of instructions and data.
The ETM9 interface enables OKI to connect an existing ETM9 solution that they have already licensed to the microprocessor to give them the ability to do real-time debug.
The cache and TCM memory sises are configurable in accordance with the needs of many embedded applications.
These characteristics make the microprocessor core an ideal fit for applications requiring high processing capabilities, such as digital home appliances, automotive applications, digital cameras, and printers.
Through the incorporation of the uPLAT technology based on the ARM946E-S core, Oki will accelerate the speed of its SoC development.
