Open source ARM, Version 0.1

Started by Konrad Eisele January 13, 2004
For those that are interested. A not yet finished
synthesizable vhdl ARM model can be downloaded at:
http://www.tamaki.de/data/vhdl.tar.gz
Implemented as a Integer Unit in Gaisler Research's
Leon-Soc.

Note: Because I do not really know the licensing
situation, download at your own risk.

It would appear that there are patent issues associated with implementing a full ARM core. As you are likely aware, this was done once before and the end result is that the code was removed from the web and has not been seen since. I don't think ARM is going to come to you and try to squash you. But if you continue with this project, expect to hear from them, politely, but firmly. Or they may offer you a job :)
