https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infineon_TriCore

CPU part looks like fairly regular 32bit RISC.  DSP part seems quite 
normal as well.  There even was once a GCC port to Tricore, version 3.3 
from HighTec (now part of Infineon itself), but not even the wayback 
machine has the files for that anymore:

Given the age of that port it's probably better to start from scratch 
anyway :)  (the current stuff from them/Infineon doesn't seem to be 
GCC-based anymore?)


Ciao,
Michael.
