FREMONT, USA: Virage Logic Corp., the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner, is investing in its ARC processor product portfolio by releasing the ARC GNU 2.3 Toolchain for its complete range of ARC processor cores and the ARC Linux 1.3 Operating System for its ARC 750D processor.

The suite contains the ARC Linux 2.6.30 kernel for the ARC 750D processor, and a GCC 4.2.1 based ARC GNU Toolchain for Virage Logic’s complete range of ARC processor cores. Virage Logic is committed to release regular updates of the ARC Open Source Tool Suites to keep the ARC GNU and Linux tools up to date with the current standards. All of the ARC Open Source tools are available for free download at SourceForge.com.

“Linux and GNU have seen renewed interest among software developers thanks to the exploding popularity of Android,” said Mike Thompson, director of product marketing for Processor and SoC Solutions at Virage Logic. “Virage Logic is committed to supporting GNU and Linux for its ARC processor cores to give customers a broad choice in the selection of development tools for their specific application.”

The ARC GNU and ARC Linux Toolchains are professional quality products that have been thoroughly verified with the extensive community test suites.
