Hi guyz,
Can anyone tell me where can i get the ARM core rtl code. I need this to work on my project. I saw one nnARM at the Opencores but i couldn't send email to the person as the email returns back with failure. Thank you |

Hi Hkoka, Well you pay several million dollars to ARM, and then they give you the RTL, which you are only allowed to use within a secure facility :-) Seriously, ARM goes to considerable lengths to protect its IP, and its lawyers have been very strict in jumping on would be makers of clones. I believe they still have patent protection for key aspects of their instruction set, which prevents any work in this area. Some of the very earliest commercial RISC designs are now out of patent. That's why you can find designs based on early MIPS processors available. However, as far as I know, MIPS didn't give away any code, these are reimplementations from the architecture specs. ARM is a little newer, so you'll have to wait a few years for reimplementations of their first designs to appear. Why not use OpenRISC instead. That's free and open source. Have a look at the OpenRISC forum. ATB Jeremy
