As an example of this, the LEON3 (SPARC) core http://www.gaisler.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=53 ... now with fault tolerant bits http://www.gaisler.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=194&Itemid=139 ... and they'll even burn it into rad-hard silicon http://www.gaisler.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=196&Itemid=151 I didn't look for examples of soft processors offered in a fault-tolerant configuration. -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too? _______________________________________________ AVR-chat mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-chat
