Designing SOCs with Configured Cores

Software-development tools provided with the Diamond Standard Series processor cores include:

A software tool suite that precisely matches each processor’s architecture. This tool suite includes XCC (the Xtensa C/C++ compiler), a macro assembler, linker, debugger, diagnostic software, reference test benches, and a basic software library. While XCC’s operation resembles that of the GNU C/C++ Compiler (GCC), XCC is an advanced optimizing compiler that provides better execution performance and smaller code size. XCC is a vectorizing compiler with direct support for the vector capabilities built into the Diamond Standard 545CK DSP core. In addition, XCC can bundle multiple independent operations ...
