Aptix Prototype Studio extends the benefits of Aptix proven prototyping technology to developers of custom multi-FPGA boards and incorporates support for Aptix traditional prototyping products.
FPGA prototypes verify embedded MCU core designs
NEC Electronics America and Aptix Corp have developed a pre-silicon prototyping environment to support NEC Electronics' 32bit V850E1 embedded microcontroller core.
ST and Aptix engineers are demonstrating the solution for the verification and validation of multimedia and wireless SoC applications to customers at the event.
The demonstration highlights the use of the Aptix solution with ST Microelectronics in its development of the recently introduced Nomadik chipsets for multimedia and wireless applications, based on the ARM PrimeXsys platform.
Philippe Magarshack, Group Vice President for Design Automation, Central Research and Development at STMicroelectronics Group VP of ST STMicroelectronics, said, "The Aptix high-performance reconfigurable pre-silicon prototype for SoC platforms such as the ARM PrimeXsys platform enables concurrent hardware/software development, integration of software and IP, and validation of multimedia and wireless applications which helps to remove risk from increasingly complex SoC designs with their escalating mask costs".
Dr Amr Mohsen, Aptix Chairman and CEO, said, "We are pleased to provide Aptix high-performance pre-silicon prototype solutions for leading SoC platforms such as the ARM PrimeXsys platform.
The availability of pre-silicon prototypes using Aptix solutions reduces time-to-market, decreases design costs, and improves performance of innovative products like those developed at STMicroelectronics".
"The PrimeXsys platform enables us to support our partners, such as STMicroelectronics, in creating pre-silicon prototypes much more quickly, giving them more time to develop their embedded SoC integrated circuits and validate their application software under real-world conditions before actual silicon of their designs is available", said Mike Muller, CTO, ARM.
The PrimeXsys platform is based around the ARM926EJ-S microprocessor core, which incorporates ARM Jazelle technology for Java acceleration, an Amba multilayer AHB bus and PrimeCell peripherals.
