Hello, how can I find the kernel of V1 ColdFire?

Thanks!

Hi, SUN

You can write Chinese here if you are not comfortable with English!  Anyway, I am pretty sure that Tom had addressed your question clearly!

That question makes no sense. "Kernel" is probably not the right translation. What do you want exactly? Do you want the IP Design to put a CFV1 into an FPGA maybe?

yes, I want the IP Design to put a CFV1 into an FPGA.

Searching NXP quickly finds me the following, saying that you get them from Silvaco:

Wikipedia has references saying the CF1 cores was available free from IPExtreme, but that was nearly 10 YEARS ago and for a specific FPGA family (Altera Cyclone III):

The last one above links to here which not surprisingly gives a "404 error":

https://www.silvaco.com/products/IP/IP/coldfire_altera_v1.html

That document last existed in January 2010, so you may be 8 years too late for that core on that chip:

You can buy some nice Altera Cyclone III models for up to $400 per chip (smaller ones $16 each :-).
