Design and verification of an ARM10-like Processor and its System Integration

Lin, Chun-Shou 07 February 2012 (has links)
With the advanced of the technique, we can design more IP in the same area space chip. The embedded system has more powerful about its application. We need to have a more efficient core processor to support the whole embedded system in complex system environment. The main purpose of this paper is increased the calculated speed, memory management and debugging for SYS32TME III, which is designed by our lab as an ARM10 like processor. We integrate the cache/MMU and EICE( Embedded in-circuit emulator ) into the embedded processor core. Using the cache/MMU, we can not only speed up the processor which access external memory time but also use the virtual address for Operating System. In order to keep the correctness of the system and speed up the system integration time, we use five functional (cache off, cache on and MMU off with cache hit/miss, cache on and MMU on with cach hit/cache miss and TLB hit/cache miss and TLB miss) tests to verify the cache/MMU and six coprocessor instructions (LDC, MCR, MCRR, MRC, MRRC, STC ) to verify the EICE. After that, we also use the regression test about the microprocessor, cache/MMU and EICE system integration. In the end, we turned the performance about the integrated cache/MMU and EICE, so that we can support an 200MHz ARM 10-like processor by 0.18£gm.
