Using the OVP ARC model

To use the ARC model you will need several things downloaded. You will need to download a) the OVPSim simulator, b) the ARC model itself (included as binary in the OVPsim package), and c) if you don't already have the toolchain to compile up applications, you will need that too... And then take a look at some of the examples - they provide pointers as to what is needed for starter platforms. Then you will need to write your own platform.c file, application.c and when compiled - you will be all set.
