Corstone-500 combines various system IP components for Cortex A5 Linux capable System on Chip designs using the AMBA protocol NIC-400 for up to 128 masters and 64 slaves, SoC-400 components for debug and trace and other Arm IP.

On-chip secondary cache can be added with the L2C-310 Level 2 Cache Controller.

For early software prototyping there is a Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) Fast Model simulator and a ready prepared FPGA image.
