 = ST231 Processor Functional Description =
 
-This hardware component is a MicroBlaze processor core as described in [www.xilinx.com/ise/embedded/mb_ref_guide.pdf the Xilinx documentation].
-Note that the 9.2 version of ISE contains a pretty major evolution of the MicroBlaze that integrates a MMU, but this is not the version available within SoCLib (at least yet!).
+The ST231 processor core is an hardware component implementing a 7-stage VLIW processor  with register scoreboarding and 32-bit x 32-bit multiplies for integer and fractional data representations. 
+Though a MMU was also added so the ST231 can be used as a host processor, this processor is mostly used in digital video consumer electronics.
+
 This component is an ISS, which should be wrapped with an [wiki:Component/IssWrapper IssWrapper] for integration into a complete platform.
 
 This instruction set simulator acts as a slave to the IssWrapper and is organised identically to the
 other Isses available within the library.
-Currently, the execution timings are pretty rough, and are typically one cycle per instruction.
-
-The support for symetric and asymetric multiprocessing is hardwired using the `fsl` feature of the MicroBlaze.
-The processor number is given at instanciation time, and accessible through `get` on `fsl0`.
-Using other `fsl`s will lead to an abort.
