General architecture

The Mirocom Broadband Engine (M/BE) is a low-power heterogeneous system-on-chip (SoC) aimed at targeting embedded systems as well as general purpose applications with moderate resource utilization. 
 Terminology 
 APE):     An application processing element (APE) is a RISC-V core / unit of execution     that is capable of executing MISA instructions from memory. 
 SPE):     A synergistic processing element (SPE) is a specialized co-processor used for vectored     and floating point operations and is connected to the APEs through the element interconnect     bus (EIB). EIB):     An element interconnect bus connects SPEs and APEs. MISA):     The Mirocom Instruction Set Architecture (MISA)  is the native instruction set understood by      APEs.
