Chip Tools

Manage Memory Maps and Debug Multiple Cores

Xtensa Xplorer includes chip-level design tools for multiple-core SOCs. These tools help manage system memory maps and link/load for multiple-core SOCs.

The following picture shows the mapping of the logical address ranges of two different cores in an SOC to the actual physical memory resources on the chip.

Designers can develop, run and debug multiple-core simulations using Xtensa Modeling Protocol (XTMP).

This window shows the placement of code and data segments within the memory map of the system, showing both a global as well as a per-processor view.
