Beyond Bee Platform

Introduction

The Beyond Bee SOC/ASIC design is a silicon proven 32-bit embedded microcontroller design with peripherals. Customers can take the BEE base design and modify it into their own SOC/ASIC. The Beyond Bee SOC/ASIC is delivered as synthesizable Verilog RTL, Verilog test benches, simulation and synthesis scripts, software development tools for the embedded processor, and documentation.

Features

The Bee Platform consists of several modular units.
