Tensilica 212GP Model

Description

Tensilica Diamond 212Mini

The Diamond Standard 212GP CPU is a high-performance, fully synthesizable 32-bit RISC core. It is area and power efficient with a local memory architecture that provides outstanding flexibility and performance. Designers can take advantage of Tensilica's lockable cache and attach any size single-cycle instruction or data SRAM up to 128Kbytes.

Since the Diamond 212GP's target applications are controller related, interrupt options are extremely important. The Diamond 212GP includes a non-maskable interrupt for critical system events and six levels of interrupt priorities from a combination of external, software and timing interrupts. This eases the development of software interrupt handlers and external interrupt priority hardware design.

This model is a performance optimized instruction set representation of the processor capable of operating in both cycle accurate and turbo modes. The model integrates directly into SoC Designer Plus virtual prototype environment. This enables designers to perform architectural analysis, performance optimization and pre-silicon software debug.
