Jarmo Takala, Mika Kuulusa, P. Ojala, Jari Nurmi · 2003
This paper describes a set of enhancements that were implemented to a 16-bit DSP core. The added features include several instructions, extended program/data address spaces, vectored interrupts, and improved low-power operation. Embedded system development flow was reinforced with an optimizing C-compiler and a compact real-time operating system.
