Overview:

The embedded market continues to move toward 32-bit processing. At the same time, the market has seen a significant increase in the use of FPGAs as flexible, cost-effective platforms for the rapid design of high-performance embedded systems. In combination, these trends are driving demand for 32-bit processors in programmable logic. Certainly, there is no end to the number of new 32-bit processor architectures. However, most processor Intellectual Property (IP) is developed for ASIC implementation. As a result, when implemented in the coarse-grained architecture of FPGAs, the processors are often large and slow-a fate suffered by many widely used processors when ported to programmable logic. Of course, a few soft proprietary IP processor solutions are available for FPGA implementation.
