RISC/DSP core upgrades media centre chipset
Digeo has licensed the ARC 600 RISC/DSP core, MetaWare development tools, and MP-3 and AC-3 audio technology for use in its X-Stream media centre chipset.
Processor cores gain RTOS support
ARC International has collaborated with Express Logic to provide ThreadX RTOS support for the ARC 600 and ARC 700 configurable processor cores, as well as the ARCtangent cores.
In its base-case RISC-only configuration, the ARC 600 architecture core is 50 to 85% smaller than processors in its class and consumes up to 50% less power.
With the ARC 600's configurability and extendibility, designers have the necessary tools to balance the processor's speed, area, and power to develop an op
