NSW has been now offering the SoC design evaluation platform as called CORAL for designing and evaluating the ARM926EJ-S base SoC. CORAL has the dedicate ARM926EJ-S base SoC chip which has useful internal bus matrix construction and has connection matrix between the internal bus and external bus PINs for implementing into the FPGA level world. And CORAL built in the large FPGA (Xilinx Virtex 4) for user designed logic. Now CORAL enables the real operational speed with more complete equivalent circuit design of ARM926EJ-S base.
