OpenCores.org ARM Clone Removed From Web

Posted by timothy on from the mirror-mirror-on-the-net dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: ""A clone of the ARM7 32-bit RISC processor core, previously available free for download from the Internet, has been taken down or hidden" pending discussions between the core's designer and a Chinese representative of ARM Holdings plc (Cambridge, England)." Remember, this is a reverse-engineered "clone in the form of a synthesizable Verilog language description."

    Seems to me that they just need to rename it. Instead of "ARM7 Clone", just call it "ARM7 Reverse-engineered". If it wasn't reverse engineered, then it truly shouldn't be posted on the Internet.
