Alliance marries system level design
with SOPCs
Celoxica is working with EBV Elektronik to provide electronic system level design solutions to end customers using Altera's system-on-programmable-chip technology.
Celoxica is working with EBV Elektronik, an Avnet company, to provide electronic system level (ESL) design solutions to end customers using Altera's system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC) technology With increasing demand for system level solutions to complex SOPC design the companies will deploy their complementary expertise targeting applications where high density logic is closely coupled with microprocessor technology such as Nios II or DSP processors

Celoxica has announced the DK1 design suite, software that enables a fundamentally new approach to the design of electronic hardware.
Celoxica offers a free go at FPGA design
Celoxica DK1 Eval is a free evaluation version of the Celoxica DK1 design suite that is restricted to compilations for simulation only, with no EDIF or VHDL output capability.
EBV already provides end-to-end supply chain integration for Altera customers across Europe and Celoxica will apply its ESL knowledge and expertise in conjunction with EBV technical staff.
Initially focusing on design projects in the UK, the companies intend to scale the agreement to a pan European level.
"EBV continues to innovate to meet the requirements of customers who present us with ever more challenging, complex and time critical projects", said Graeme Cathrall, General Sales Manager for EBV in the UK and Ireland.
"By tapping into Celoxica's system level design tools and know-how we can offer a complete design solution from the system specification to chip level implementation".
One of the highest growth areas for SOPC design is in imaging and video based applications, such as machine vision, broadcast and HDTV.
These application types are characterised by the need for real-time performance, their algorithm complexity, time to market pressures and volume production.
ESL design expressly addresses these challenges and imaging will form the initial application focus for Celoxica and EBV.
Sandeep Ram, Vice President of European sales for Celoxica commented: "ESL design for FPGA is being increasingly applied to volume production and it makes sense to work closely with a distribution specialist who is set up to fulfill that demand".
"As FPGA devices become more powerful, they are being integrated into the heart of the system and ESL delivers the design efficiencies and system capabilities that customers must have".
