System designers world-wide are discovering the many advantages and benefits of IBM PowerPC SoC solutions. IBM has a variety of technologies that support the scalable and flexible PowerPC architecture... including standard and customer-specific microprocessors. These microprocessors employ a PowerPC processor core, reusable peripheral cores, and IBM's CoreConnect bus architecture to enable system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices for a cost efficient, quicker time to market. This site is dedicated to designers interested in developing IBM PowerPC-based SoC solutions. View IBM's value proposition. IBM PowerPC SoC Solutions include processor cores, an on-chip bus architecture, and peripheral cores... all designed to enable a true plug & play development strategy. | The IBM Blue Logic Core Program includes peripheral cores available in the following categories: | | Local and Wide Area Network | Bus Interface | Data Converters | Serial Interface | | Voltage Regulator / Monitor | Multimedia | Data Compression | Clocking | | High Speed Links | Rambus | | | SoC Development Support includes the IBM PowerPC 405GP. This embedded processor is a Blue Logic SuperStructure which embodies the key elements of an IBM SoC. The 405GP, when combined with a 405GP Eval Kit, will allow a quick start to your design. Custom derivatives and performance upgrades are as easy as plugging in new functionality and/or the next generation processor. Developing your PowerPC 405 superstructure/design will be greatly facilitated through our IBM PowerPC 405 SuperStructure Development Environment and IBM CoreConnect Bus Model Toolkits | In addition, there are over 80 third-party development tools companies supporting IBM PowerPC Embedded Processors.
