Imsys in Sweden is launching a dual core embedded processor and software stack that enables developers to add custom C instructions or even run the Rust language natively.

The IM4000 processor core is being implemented in a Xilinx/AMD FPGA and in the 22nm process at GlobalFoundries and is aimed at upscale white goods, automotive and battery powered smart sensor applications.

"The aim is to get it out in different formats and get feedback from potential customers," Jonas Waern, CEO of Stockholm-based Imsys tells eenews Europe. "We are proud of our hardware but the first implementation is the software stack running on the IM3000. That's where we can future proof our customers," he said.

He took over at Imsys last year to reboot the company, which has been a pioneer in the design of processors for forty years.

"The stack and tools are completely new with a [Clang] LLVM compiler and C instruction set," says CTO Dag Helmfrid. "The tools in are built Visual Studio for a cross compiler with symbolic debug."
