The design has been sucessfully implemented in low cost FPGA devices from Altera (ACEX 1K50, Cyclone) and Xilinx (Spartan II and Spartan-3). JOP is open-source under the GNU General Public License, version 3. Features Very small core: about 2000 LCs - 3000 LCs (configurable) fmax is 100 MHz in a Cyclone EP1C6 Real-time features: architecture designed to simplify WCET analysis cycle accurate time interrupt (not tick based) real-time enhanced thread model WISHBONE master Status VHDL files and and supporting tools for the design are available from OpenCores CVS.
