Embedded processor solutions

4 July 2001 Programmable Logic

Combining logic, memory, and a processor core, Altera's Excalibur embedded processor solutions allow engineers to integrate an entire system on a single programmable logic device (PLD). Consisting of three families - the Nios soft core embedded processor, the ARM-based hard core embedded processor, and the MIPS-based hard core embedded processor - offers developers the flexibility of processor cores with the integration of system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) logic.

Excalibur embedded processors can be used in a wide range of applications, from industrial instrumentation to DSL access concentrators, says Altera. They offer full integration with Altera's APEX PLD architecture, and are supported by the Quartus II development tool, which is optimised for the Excalibur embedded processor families.
