ARM is a fabless company, they only sell intellectual property. Licensees actually buy the "source code" to the hardware. http://www.arm.com/products/physicalip/product_overview.html If you want to make your own silicon ...grab this source hehe http://www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/core_arm/overview Doug Sutherland Proficio Research http://www.proficio.ca/ _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
