ARC Options for System Integration
The Synopsys ARConnect option for ARC® EM processors facilitates multicore implementations with configurable hardware for inter-core message passing, interrupt handling, semaphores and debug assistance and enhances the ability of a system to run parallel applications or pipeline stream applications.
Also included with ARConnect is a power domain management (PDM) unit and a power management Unit (PMU) to help control system power consumption. ARConnect is highly configurable and allows for each EM core to have different configurations and run at different frequencies.
Simple integration tests for ARConnect are included with the IP library and it is supported by MQX RTOS.
