Fujitsu Semiconductor has signed a strategic comprehensive licence agreement with ARM for ARM IP products.

Under the strategic agreement, Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe will provide platforms featuring the new ARM technology including the Cortex-A15 processor, graphics IP and CoreLink systems IP.

The combination of scalable low-power processor IP, including the Cortex-A15 processor and fabric IP, will enable Fujitsu Semiconductor to provide its customers with complete, full function SoC platforms featuring ARM technology, said the company.

Fujitsu Semiconductor corporate senior vice-president Haruyoshi Yagi said the company is working to enhance their product appeal and boost IP line-up.

"One of the major ways in which we are doing so is through this comprehensive licence agreement that we have signed with ARM and this will allow our customers to select the ARM technology most suited for their application, and use a platform that combines it with other IP that we have provided," Yagi said.

"These platforms will use our proven design and authentication technology, enabling us to achieve high levels of quality and functionality, as well as a dramatic reduction in LSI development time."
