Microprocessor IP, Technology, solutions and services for embedded microelectronics systems

Company

 
Cortus designs and licenses innovative highly efficient 32-bit processor cores and IP around these processor cores.



Key Features of our Processors:

  • Aimed at embedded systems
  • Designed for high level languages
  • Extremely small
  • Very power efficient
  • GNU Toolchain available [version 4.12]

Applications include from simple control applications to high performance DSP, image processing systems and encryption/decryption....

Our cores are unique in being extremely small and power efficient as well as supporting out-of-order instruction completion. The cpu itself is no bigger than the 8 bit cpu core in an 8051 or a 6811 micro-controller. The small size and flexible licensing means that your system-on-a-chip can be developed and go into production using a low cost FPGA solution and later, when sales ramp up, be transferred to ASIC for high volume.

The embedded system designer can now have his cake, eat it...   ...and not gain weight!


Software development is fully supported with a port of the GNU GCC C/C++ compiler and the GNU GDB (with instruction set simulator) available for free. Debugging can be fully performed over JTAG. All these tools work on Windows, Linux and most Unixes. An installation wizard is availabe to install the entire toolchain and IDE (based on Eclipse) on Windows.

An implementation of the uC/OS-II RTOS is available from Micrium.

Where our products can be found:

  • Consumer Devices
  • Battery powered devices
  • Automotive
  • ... anywhere where a bit of intelligence is required!
