Imperas, which is a member of the ARM Connected Community, has released its models of the Cortex-A9 MPCore and Cortex-A5 UP ARM processor cores, including the 1, 2, 3 and 4-core versions of the Cortex-A9 MPCore.
"ARM's Cortex processor cores are at the heart of leading edge SoCs and embedded systems," said Simon Davidmann, president and CEO, Imperas and founding director of the OVP initiative. "And the Imperas OVP Fast Processor Models are at the heart of the virtual platforms of these SoCs and systems."
Models of the Cortex-A9 MPCore and Cortex-A5 UP are available from Open Virtual Platforms (OVP), including example virtual platforms incorporating the cores and support for the cores in Imperas' advanced software development tools.
An example of implementation of OVP is the model of the Cortex-A9 MPx2 in the Cadence-developed Virtual Platform of the Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP).
Imperas also announced earlier this week the development of the OVP Fast Processor Model of the Xilinx MicroBlaze soft processor core.
This model of the Xilinx MicroBlaze will be available with certain versions of the Zynq-7000 EPP Virtual Platform as an extension to the virtual platform.
