Heuring Using ARCTools The ARCTools toolset includes the following features: An integrated assembler and simulator for the ARC ISA. Extensions to the ISA described in Chapter 4 with several additional actual and synthetic instructions. A trap mechanism. A simple macroprocessing facility. Ability to specify instruction timings. A multi-level cache memory simulator. A number of example programs showing the features of the toolset.
