ARM Cortex-A9 [SEP] designer
ARM Cortex-A9
The ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore is a 32-bit processor core licensed by ARM Holdings implementing the ARMv7-A architecture. It is a multicore processor providing up to 4 cache-coherent cores.
Overview.
Key features of the Cortex-A9 core are:
- Out-of-order speculative issue obc execution 8-stage pipeline giving 2.50 DMIPS/MHz/core.
- NEON SIMD instruction set extension performing up to 16 operations per instruction (optional).
- High performance VFPv3 floating point
Express ARM Cortex-A9 ARM Cortex-A15 are emulated. In 1.6.0, the 32-bit instructions of the ARMv8 (AARCH64) architecture are emulated, but 64-bit instructions are unsupported.
The Xilinx Cortex A9-based Zynq SoC is modelled, with the following elements:
- Zynq-7000 ARM Cortex-A9 CPU
- Zynq-7000 ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore
- Triple Timer Counter
- DDR Memory Controller
- DMA Controller (PL330)
- Static Memory Controller (NAND/NOR Flash)
- SD/SDIO Peripheral Controller
