OSCI Releases SystemC Analog Mixed Signal Extensions Language Standard
The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC as an industry-standard language for electronic system-level (ESL) design, released the SystemC Analog/Mixed-signal (AMS) extensions language standard, AMS 1.0. The AMS 1.0 standard is the first modeling language targeting system-level design and verification to describe analog/mixed-signal behavior as natural extension to existing SystemC-based design methodologies.
dSPACE, Elektrobit Team on AUTOSAR Tools for Electronic Control Units
dSPACE and EB (Elektrobit), a leading developer of cutting-edge embedded technology solutions for automotive and wireless industries, announced further harmonization of their AUTOSAR tools. This cooperation offers developers of automotive electronic control unit (ECU) software a coordinated tool chain.
