Partners
Since pioneering configurable subsystems and processors, ARC and its expanding network of partners have invested tens of millions of dollars in hardware, software, and tools for SoC design. Today they comprise the industry’s most comprehensive development environment for configurable subsystems and cores.
Used on a daily basis by approximately 140 companies worldwide, these SoC development solutions are centered around the ARChitect™ Processor Configurator and industry-leading MetaWare® development toolkit. They enable the creation of optimized ARC-Based™ chips for a range of high-volume markets. For information on becoming a member of the ARC® partner network, please contact: partnernetwork@arc.com.

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Tools |
|
|
ARC works closely with a select number of industry leading EDA companies who develop tools and analytical techniques which ensure that the design intent of each uniquely configured ARC Core or Multimedia subsystem is reflected in the final design that is transferred to silicon. ARC and its closest EDA partners have developed reference methodologies which allow a seamless integration of the Partners front end tools and ARC’s patented ARChitect Processor Configurator Tool. An example of this is collaboration to develop specialized design reference methodologies optimized for low power portable multimedia applications. ARC partner EDA companies include:
