OVP Download NEC Electronics Limited Processors

This page is dedicated to the NEC Electronics Limited v850 processors. On the right you will see the different downloads available - simple single processor platforms running benchmark applications through to multi-core examples.

Also - there is the download of the model itself - including many examples of using it - and its source.

Also there are GCC, GDB etc toolchains you will need to compile and run applications.

Using the OVP NEC v850 model

To use the NEC v850 model you will need several things downloaded. You will need to download a) the OVPSim simulator, b) the OVP NEC v850 model itself, and c) if you don't already have the toolchain to compile up applications, you will need that too... And then take a look at some of the examples - they provide pointers as to what is needed for starter platforms. Then you will need to write your own platform.c file, application.c and when compiled - you will be all set.
