Configuring the Processor
The architecture of the ARM720T_LH79520 can be configured after placement on the schematic sheet, or OpenBus System
document, using the Configure (32-bit Processors) dialog (Figure 2). Access to this dialog depends on the document in which
you are working:
• In the Schematic document – simply right-click over the device and choose the command to configure the processor from

The drop-down field at the top-right of the dialog enables you to choose the type of processor you want to work with. As the
pinouts for the Wishbone interfaces between the 32-bit processors are the same, you can easily change the processor used in
your design without having to extensively rewire the external interfaces.

As you select the processor type, the Configure (32-bit Processors) dialog will change accordingly to reflect the architectural

For the ARM720T_LH79520, a single architectural option is available that allows you to define the size of the internal memory
for the processor. This memory, also referred to as ‘Low’ or ‘Boot’ memory is implemented using true dual port FPGA Block
RAM and will contain the boot part of a software application and the interrupt and exception handlers.
