Competitive Advantages
Cortus designs and licenses innovative highly efficient 32-bit processor cores and IP around these processor cores.
We offer a unique combination of advantages which are not available all in one package elsewhere:
- Easy to program
- Our cores were designed from the ground up to be easy to program.
- A complete development environment, including C/C++ compiler, debugger, IDE are available. Everything can be written in a high level language, interrupt routines included.
- Easy to integrate
- We know that our cores have to fit into your designs. They have simple and easy to use interfaces and bridges to other bus standards are available. All our IP is designed for prototyping (or final implementation) in FPGA
- Easy to add custom functionality
- Extend the functionality of our core to your specific design needs.
- Customer tool repackaging
- Customers can redistribute and repackage the toolchain and IDE for their final customers, ensuring a consistent look and feel with appropriate branding.
- Free redistribution of tools
- No licensing issues or additional costs in providing the necessary tools to your customers, enriching your offer.
- Excellent code density
- Reduced integrated silicon costs, get more out of your on chip memories. The mixed, modeless, instruction length ensures optimum use of memory for program storage.
- Low power consumption
- The small footprint and rational design ensure a low consumption, enabling systems which require very long battery life (the best in the world).
- Complete ecosystem
- From compiler to debugger ensuring our customers' engineers are supported throughout the design process.
There is no other processor IP available on the market today which offers all of these features at the same time.
