AMPP Partner Eureka Technology to Provide First IP Cores for ARM®-Based Excalibur PLDs
San Jose, Calif., December 3, 2001 -- Altera Corporation (Nasdaq: ALTR) customers using the ARM®-based Excalibur[tm] embedded processor solutions for compute-intensive, high data bandwidth applications now have access to Eureka Technology Inc.'s extensive intellectual property (IP) portfolio. As an Altera Megafunction Partner Program (AMPPSM) member, Eureka Technology is the first to optimize IP cores for implementation with Altera's ARM-based Excalibur embedded processor solutions.
"Eureka Technology's experience in ARM-based design, implementation and integration will be a tremendous benefit to our customers," said Craig Lytle, vice president of the IP business unit at Altera. "Their valuable experience with system control IP cores will benefit our mutual customers who are developing system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) applications."
Available immediately for Altera's Excalibur embedded processor solutions customers are Eureka Technology's ARM bus master, ARM bus slave, ARM-to-PCI host bridge, and ARM-to-SDRAM controller cores. Eureka Technology's IP cores are designed in synthesizable HDL for logic optimization and supports the ARM AHB bus interface built into the Excalibur embedded processor solutions. The ARM-to-PCI host bridge also supports the PCI Local Bus Specification 2.2.
"By providing our customers with the first IP cores available for Altera's ARM-based Excalibur family, we are reinforcing our commitment to SOPC solutions," said Simon Lau, president of Eureka Technology. "The training and experience we have as an AMPP partner allows us to meet the needs of our mutual customers by providing state-of-the-art intellectual property (IP) cores optimized for programmable logic devices."
The Excalibur ARM-based family of embedded processor programmable logic devices (PLDs) provides single chip-integration of a high-performance 200 MHz ARM922T processor core, programmable logic, on-chip memory, and key peripherals. The first ARM-based device, the EPXA10, is in full production now, and the remaining two will be shipping over the next two quarters.

Altera Megafunction Partnership Program (AMPP) Program
The Altera Megafunction Partners Program, established in August 1995, was created to bring the advantages of design reuse to users of Altera PLDs. AMPP is an alliance between Altera and developers of IP cores that encourages megafunction development. Altera provides technical information and training to the AMPP partners, who create and support IP cores targeted for Altera programmable logic devices. Currently, there are over 30 AMPP partners who offer more than 150 megafunctions. Customers may request a free evaluation of any of these cores through Altera's megafunction listings at http://www.altera.com/ipmegastore.
