TITLE: FREE SPARC VHDL SOURCE CODE

Leon is an open-source 32-bit  embedded  CPU  core  that  can  be
downloaded  at no charge.  The core was developed by the European
Space Agency based on the Sparc V8  specifications  (IEEE  1754).
The  VHDL  code  provided  is  fully synthesizable into a 5-stage
pipeline processor with UARTs that can operate at 125  MHz  in  a
0.18-micron  process.   Software  tools and a real-time operating
system are also provided.  For additional  information, access: LEON

Metaflow  Technologies  offers  support  for  Leon  as  well   as
complementary virtual components including an IEEE floating-point
unit.   The  company  can  also  provide  design   services   for
implementing  Leon in a FPGA or SoC.  For additional  information, 
access: Metaflow
