It's not a SPARC, it's an ARC. It's a very different processor.
- 4ad 10y agoThe earlier ME versions used an ARC. The later ones use a SPARC.
- Zardoz84 10y agoARC not was a simplified SPARC for CPU architecture teaching ? I had to build it on VHDL on my first year.
- 4ad 10y agoWell I have no idea how ARC came into existence, but looking at the ISA, it has nothing in common with SPARC (I write SPARC compilers for a living, so I know the ISA pretty well).
