openCores OR1K processor

For the openCores OR1K processor on the right you will see the different downloads available - simple single processor platforms running benchmark applications through to multi-core examples and also a platform that boots uClinux.

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 OR1K model

To use the OR1K you will need several things downloaded. You will need to download a) the OVPSim simulator, b) the OR1K 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.

OVP Support for Tensilica Processors

To read the Press Release about the relationship with Tensilica click here.

On the right you will see the different downloads available related to Tensilica processors - from simple single processor platforms running benchmark applications through to multi-core examples.

You can use Tensilica processor models obtainable from Tensilica within OVP simulations. This is accomplished by 'wrapping' the Tensilica processor model with an 'integration adaptor' to encapsulate it and make it appear to an OVP platform as a normal OVP processor model.

Using the OVP encapsulated Tensilica processor model

To use the Tensilica model you will need several things downloaded. You will need to download a) the OVPsim simulator, b) the Tensilica model itself, and c) if you don't already have the toolchain to compile up Tensilica 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.

Where are the platforms and wrappers?

The example platforms are now part of the normal OVPsim download and once OVPsim is downloaded and installed you will find them in the Examples\Vendors\Tensilica directory.

The Tensilica Diamond Core encapsulation or wrapper is now part of the normal OVPsim download and once OVPsim is downloaded and installed you will find it in the lib\Windows\ImperasLib\imperas.com\processor\diamondCore directory.

What Tensilica Diamond Cores are supported?

To list the currently supported Diamond Cores, please visit the Tensilica Diamond Core page in the libary.
