  • What is the top level difference in features between Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M0+?

    This is a very common question too.

    The diagram is a pictorial description of the differences followed by some explanations.

     

     

    Starting from the bottom:

     

    -Cortex-M23 is an implementation of the ARMv8-M architecture. Full details here.

    -Using the same debug…

  • Cortex-M0 DesignStart processor size (FPGA)?

    Dear sirs,

    I have a question about the size of synthesized logic for Cortex-M0 DesignStart processor.

    When I use ISE of Xilinx to synthesize Cortex-M0 DesignStart processor (version r1p0-00rel0), I have result as below.

    (I configure for using Spartan…

  • Is it possible to interface a high frequency sensor-signal output from an analog ASIC chip (e.g. several Kilohertz) using Cortex-M?

    This question was raised in the ‘Want to maximise your product design? See how a custom ASIC can help?' webinar, view all the questions in the round-up blog post.

  • Can SoC Verification be automated using Machine Learning? If so, how can we ensure 100% functional coverage?

    This question was raised in the ‘Want to maximise your product design? See how a custom ASIC can help?' webinar, view all the questions in the round-up blog post.

  • Are DesignStart Pro royalties based on the number of cores instantiated in single chip? If so, what about permanent lockstep configurations?

    This question was raised in the webinar "Enhance your product with industry-leading processors - for no upfront license fee.”

  • Has anyone had problems with implementing App Note AN387 using Cortex M0 r2p0 on a Cortex-M + dev board?

    All,

    I received the Versatile Express Cortex-M Prototyping System + and am using DesignStart. I powered on the board and the operating system booted up without any problems.

    In the V2M_MPS2/MB/HBI0263C/board.txt file, the following are the sequence of…

  • Simulate Cortex-M0 FPGA implementation in ModelSim

    Hello, I started to tinker with the most basic Cortex-M0 from the DesignStart.
    I am using Modelsim Student Edition, which run only on Windows (or Linux through Wine).

    I tried to start with Linux to see if at least the "make" commands are working. Problem…

  • Can a student simulate the free Cortex-M from DesignStart?

    I saw, and tried in the past already, to simulate the Cortex-M0. It does not really matter efficiency, customization and so on, but only the learning process behind a steup for a correct very basic simulation.

    I was trying to setup a Linux machine, when…
