SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ 2 3ARC 4=== 5 6Synopsys' DesignWare(r) ARC(r) Processors are a family of 32-bit CPUs 7that SoC designers can optimize for a wide range of uses, from deeply embedded 8to high-performance host applications. 9 10More information on ARC cores avaialble here: 11http://www.synopsys.com/IP/ProcessorIP/ARCProcessors/Pages/default.aspx 12 13Designers can differentiate their products by using patented configuration 14technology to tailor each ARC processor instance to meet specific performance, 15power and area requirements. 16 17The DesignWare ARC processors are also extendable, allowing designers to add 18their own custom instructions that dramatically increase performance. 19 20Synopsys' ARC processors have been used by over 170 customers worldwide who 21collectively ship more than 1 billion ARC-based chips annually. 22 23All DesignWare ARC processors utilize a 16-/32-bit ISA that provides excellent 24performance and code density for embedded and host SoC applications. 25 26The RISC microprocessors are synthesizable and can be implemented in any foundry 27or process, and are supported by a complete suite of development tools. 28 29The ARC GNU toolchain with support for all ARC Processors can be downloaded 30from here (available pre-built toolchains as well): 31 32https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases 33
