HiSilicon, a supplier of asics and solutions for communication networks and digital media, has licensed a range of ARM IP for use in 3G/4G base stations, networking infrastructure, mobile computing and power management applications.
The agreement includes licences for the ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor, ARM CoreLink CCI-400 Cache Coherent Interconnect fabric IP and the ARM Cortex-M3 processor.
HiSilicon says access to the latest ARM IP, along with a prior license for ARM Cortex-A9, will provide it with an 'innovative multicore technology platform'.
"Over the last five years, ARM has consistently increased its investment in China to enable and support innovation for important partners, such as HiSilicon," said Allen Wu, president, ARM China. "We have been partnering with HiSilicon and Huawei for many years to develop a platform based on ARM technology. The relationship is now enabling broad innovation using ARM IP in many applications, such as consumer multimedia, set top boxes and networking infrastructure. The success of HiSilicon's industry first eight core ARM Cortex-A9 network SoC is a great example of ARM Partner innovation."
