The new processor enables Developers to Implement Custom Instructions and Add Accelerators
Bluespec Inc. announced its new MCUX RISC-V processor that makes it easy for developers to implement custom instructions and add accelerators to FPGAs and ASICs. The MCUX is an extension of Bluespec’s MCU RISC-V processor family, which is targeted at ultra-low resource utilization on FPGAs. Bluespec’s MCUX processor builds on this legacy with more customization opportunities, in addition to supporting vendor choice since the MCUX is fully portable across all major FPGA architectures and ASIC technologies.
“The small footprint of our MCUX RISC-V processor directly translates to cost savings for our customers. Developers can add advanced hardware extensions to accelerate specific workloads to run even more efficiently while keeping resources very low,” said Charlie Hauck, CEO at Bluespec. “Another major advantage of our MCUX processor is that there are no licensing restrictions so developers can work with any FPGA vendor.”
See info.bluespec.com/mcuxapp for a new application note that walks through implementing and executing custom instructions on the MCUX. It shows the potential for impressive reductions in software execution cycle counts for a small amount of implementation effort.
