The industry standard ARM® architecture is the most widely used 32-bit microprocessor architecture ever with billions of products shipped. Actel has partnered with ARM to make ARM processors available for our customers to use in Actel's flash-based FPGAs. The processors are fully implemented in the FPGA fabric, and designers have full access to the cores, so they can add IP and implement them in their embedded applications. By offering the processors without license fees or royalties and without the need to negotiate contracts, Actel is dramatically increasing our customer's access to 32-bit ARM processors. FPGA users no longer have to settle for a proprietary 32-bit processor core. Instead, they can use an industry standard ARM processor with the well-known architecture and popular instruction set. With its FPGA optimized ARM processor offering, Actel is truly bringing ARM to the masses.
