Carbon Design Systems Unveils Databahn DDR SDRAM Controller IP Models
Denali Software, Inc., a leading provider of intellectual property (IP) and electronic design automation (EDA) software, and Carbon Design Systems announced a collaboration to provide designers with cycle-accurate models of Denali’s configurable Databahn[TM] DDR SDRAM controller IP for virtual platforms. Databahn IP models are available today for use with leading system simulation environments (including Carbon SoC Designer, CoWare Platform Architect, and OSCI SystemC) to perform architectural analysis, validate system performance, and perform hardware/software integration prior to silicon.
Open Virtual Platforms Rolls Out Virage Logic ARC Processors Models
The Open Virtual Platforms (OVP) initiative has announced the release of models of Virage Logic’s ARC processor cores. Models of the Virage Logic ARC® 600 and ARC® 700 families of processor cores have been released, including the ARC® 605. Additionally, Virage Logic and Imperas have cooperated on the verification of the functionality of the models. Virage Logic’s ARC line of processor cores, the world’s second most widely used processor architecture, are commonly used in audio and video subsystems, and in flash controllers, among other applications.
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. Using the integrated AUTOSAR modeling and simulation environment SystemDesk, the TargetLink production ready code generator, and the EB tresos Studio configuration tool, developers can efficiently use a model-based approach to designing software, culminating in production-ready AUTOSAR ECU software.
SystemC Configuration, Control & Inspection Standardization Review
The Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI), an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing SystemC[tm] as an industry-standard language for electronic system-level (ESL) design, announced that requirements for the configuration portion of the SystemC Configuration, Control & Inspection (CCI) standardization effort are now available for public review. They are currently available for download under open-source license.
MagicDraw UML Modeler to Integrate with CoFluent Studio
CoFluent Design, a leading Electronic System Level (ESL) company that provides system-level modeling and simulation to accelerate innovation in embedded devices, and No Magic, Inc., the leading global provider of integrated modeling software and services, announced that they have initiated a partnership agreement to integrate the MagicDraw UML (Unified Modeling Language) modeler with the CoFluent Studio embedded system modeling and SystemC-based simulation environment.
EVE Sponsors Workshop on Architectural Research Prototyping
EVE, the leader in hardware/software co-verification and developer of ZeBu-Server, a scalable and affordable emulation system, announced that it will sponsor the 5th Annual Workshop on Architectural Research Prototyping (WARP) to be held June 19 in Saint-Malo, France. It will be collocated with the ACM IEEE International Symposium Computer Architecture (ISCA).
Wind River to Sell, Support Virtutech Simics Development Platform
Wind River, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation, announced it will add the Virtutech product line to its embedded software product portfolio after the completion of Intel Corporation’s acquisition of Virtutech signed earlier this week. Virtutech, founded in 1998, is based in San Jose, Calif. and operates a development center in Stockholm, Sweden.
Synopsys Gains Virtual Prototyping Solutions by Acquiring VaST Systems
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, announced it has acquired VaST Systems Technology Corporation to extend its virtual prototyping solutions into the automotive and consumer application space. The acquisition adds a comprehensive set of processor sub-system models frequently found in automotive and consumer applications to Synopsys’ virtual prototyping portfolio. Processor sub-system models allow developers to accelerate the virtualization of electronic systems and to start software development nine to 12 months prior to the availability of silicon.
