Does Cortex-A12 not supprt AMBA4 ACE protocol?
The figure and description of the Cortex-A12 product page(http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a12-processor.php) shows as if it only supports "AMBA4 AXI Bus" is available bus interface.
Thanks, Pete, for clarifying.
The original TechCon presentation was one of mine. I have looked at the source slides and the mistake comes down to an error in an earlier version of the marketing diagram for the Cortex-A12. As you can see, this has been corrected in the version currently displayed on Cortex-A12 page on our website.
I apologise for the error in the presentation and hope that it hasn't caused too much confusion.
Glad it's cleared up now!

Chris
So, CA12 not support ACE means:
CA12 could not be used with CA7 in a big.LITTLE design?
Correct - the big.LITTLE equivalent of this would be a pairing of Cortex-A17 with Cortex-A7.
HTH, Pete
