With automated tools, why not try to customize a processor for your exact requirements? You’ll be amazed at the flexible options you have to get the efficiency you need from a programmable processor-based solution.

With Tensilica’s tools, you can test out different configurations and options to see what gives you the best combination of area, power, and performance for your exact application.

No longer do you need to worry that you’re not a processor designer. Even if you’ve never designed a processor before, if you know what your applications needs (what you might have put in an RTL block in old designs), you can use Tensilica’s automated process to design a processor.

No, you don’t have to go into the processor RTL and make any modifications. As a matter of fact, we don’t want you to touch the RTL that’s made from our Xtensa Processor Generator.

Instead, you use a Verilog-like language to describe the features you want to add. Our automated process then generates the processor extensions to match your requirements. Along with the matching software tool chain.
