purposes; through this new licensing agreement, the CMP will be able to provide university students with access to emerging SoC design technology, helping to put those students at the forefront of design research and methodology best practices.
"The RealView ESL design tools from ARM enable system developers to efficiently and reliably design SoC solutions for next-generation advanced digital products", said Bernard Courtois, Director of CMP.
CMP has a long history with modelling ARM technology-based digital systems and has already seen the benefits of using RealView tools over this past year.

"ARM is committed to helping university students and research specialists stay ahead of the curve with easy access to cutting-edge ARM design tools", said Thomas Kettler, Business Development Manager, ESL Tools, ARM.
"By extending its current ARM tools offerings with the entire range of our RealView Create family of ESL design tools, CMP is well-positioned to offer universities and research laboratories an end-to-end solution within the design flow".
The RealView Create family of design tools uses ESL technology to create a virtual prototype of processor cores and complete SoC designs in the presilicon phase.
As part of this process, SoC hardware architecture and software are tested extensively in the presilicon phase.
The tools work at the cycle-based and transaction-based abstraction level, combining the speed of C/C++ with the accuracy of RTL, to provide a complete platform for modelling and programming multi-core SoCs.
The tools also support the SPIRIT 1.1 standard for ease of integration into downstream RTL and implementation design flows.
As a result, design engineers using the RealView ESL design tools will be able to achieve enhanced end product quality.
The RealView Create family includes the RealView SoC Designer (with MaxSim technology), the RealView Core Generator (with MaxCore technology) and the RealView Model Library.
All tools and models are available now.
