Product Announcement: ARM RealView Logic Tile for the Xilinx Virtex-5 XC5VLX330 FPGA

Cambridge, UK -- December 20, 2007 --  ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)] today announced the RealView^® Logic Tile for the Xilinx Virtex-5 XC5VLX330 FPGA. This development board is designed to:

• Expand the ARM^® processor subsystems provided on RealView Hardware Platforms with custom memory and peripheral designs on FPGAs
• Provide early access to FPGA implementations of the latest ARM processors

The increased size and performance of the Logic Tile for the Xilinx XC5VLX330 FPGA enables the implementation of a Soft Macrocell Model for the Cortex™-A8 processor on a single FPGA running at 40MHz. This Soft Macrocell Model enables early software development and cycle accurate hardware prototyping with the Cortex-A8 processor and NEON^TM technology.

Product Benefits

• XC5VLX330 FPGA and 16MB SRAM
• Stackable architecture to support multi-FPGA systems
• Backward compatibility with existing Logic Tiles for Virtex-II and Virtex-4 FPGAs
• Example AMBA^® AHB and AXI™ designs for a Logic Tile used on the Platform Baseboards for the ARM926EJ-S™, ARM1176JZF-S™ or ARM11™ MPCore™ processors

Availability: January 2008
