ProductsxCAM Cycle Accurate ModelsAutomatically Generate 100% Cycle Accurate Models of ARC® IPARC® xCAM products work with the ARChitect® Processor Configurator to automatically provide 100% cycle accurate models that reflect SoC designers' specific hardware configurations of ARC IP. These models allow design verification and provide detailed performance analysis of software before finalizing the hardware design. An underlying generator engine automatically creates the xCAM Cycle Accurate Model by translating the original Verilog RTL into 100% cycle accurate C++ or SystemC models. With ARC xCAM, multiple models are generated to compare alternative approaches against specific code early in the design process, assisting in choosing an optimal configuration. The level of accuracy even allows

ARChitect® IntegrationxCAM installs within the ARChitect IP Configurator to generate cycle-accurate models. Once installed, the modeling component can be added to the processor design within ARChitect® and options set. ARChitect then builds a 100% cycle-accurate model in minutes. xCAM Models Track Your Configurations AutomaticallyUpon completion of the ARC® IP configuration, ARChitect® uses xCAM to add a step into the build process generating a cycle-accurate model that reflects the user's configuration automatically. Debugger IntegrationThe xCAM model operates as a target within GDB and the MetaWare® Debugger. Using xCAM’s 100% cycle accurate models are as simple as using an ISS, an ARCangel prototyping system or actual hardware.
