embARC for a Free RideSemiWiki - Eric EsteveMar. 30, 2015 |
It’s probably the first time that Synopsys is offering such a direct access to free and open source software. The goal is to support customers developing application code for IoT and embedded devices based on ARC IP core family. The designer can select the Real Time Operating System (RTOS) which best meet the system requirements, unlike with ARC well-known competitor. Open source software also includes drivers, core services and middleware. Because the dynamic power consumption of the ARC EM processors can be as low as 3 uW/MHz, ARC IP core family is IoT preferred solution. embARC Includes commonly used components for the Internet of Things (IoT) such as MQTT and CoAP internet protocols as well as FreeRTOS and Contiki OS operating systems, helping to jump-start IoT development.
