Cortus
Cortus is a privately held company located in Montpellier in the south
of France that specializes in embedded processor IP. They design and license
highly efficient 32-bit processor cores and the IP that is required around
those cores. Their processors are used in a wide range of applications,
including: consumer, automotive, and chip card devices.
Cortus is dedicated to providing advanced processing solutions for the
evolving embedded market. Whether your design requires high speed or a
small footprint, Cortus supplies both. To take full advantage of their
IP solutions, Cortus provides a complete and freely available tool chain.
Cortus IP cores demonstrate that powerful 32-bit processors do not have
to be big or power hungry.
Cortus offers the following products:
- 32 Bit RISC Processor — This high performance processor
is a good solution for deeply embedded devices that require the flexibility
of an efficient soft core combined with high performance concurrent coprocessors.
- Peripherals — Easy to use cores for the assembly of the
subsystem around the processor
- UART
- Memory interface
- Configurable interrupt controller
- General purpose I/O
- SPI
- FIR coprocessor
- Tools — Available for free is a port of the GNU tool
chain, which includes a debugger. The tool chain and debugger run on
Linux, Windows XP, and most UNIX varieties.
- C compiler (GNU)
- Debugger and embedded stub
- Assembler, linker, etc.
- Services — Cortus can assist or lead with the most important
aspects of getting your design to market quickly and correct the first
time.
- Architectural design
- Design of verification strategy
- HDL implementation
- FPGA prototyping and verification
