Mentor Graphics is the first to reach agreement with Texas Instruments to deliver coverification processor support packages (PSPs) for Texas Instruments DSP and microcontroller solutions.
MPRC serves as China's primary research centre for computer science, technology and microelectronics and it has established a joint laboratory with Mentor Graphics for system-on-chip (SoC) verification, chip prototyping and hardware-software debugging.
This joint laboratory also supports IP applications for chip design, which is why MPRC selected Mentor Graphics' fully compliant IP for the PCI Express standard.
Using compliant IP for the PCI Express standard enables design engineers to focus on the differentiating aspects of their design and accelerate design time with highly configurable, reusable, low-cost IP building blocks to create innovative electronic systems.
Mentor recently announced that its configurable port for the PCI Express specification met compliance by the PCI-SIG organisation.
"We selected Mentor Graphics based on its history and expertise in certified, standards-based IP and its ease of integration for complex SoC designs", stated Xu Cheng, Director of Microprocessor Research and Development Centre of Peking University.
"PCI Express is an emerging standard and our latest microprocessor design will support applications for networking connectivity".
"Mentor is honoured to have been selected by this prestigious research centre and we look forward to supporting Peking University in the future", stated Mike Kaskowitz, General Manager of Mentor Graphics IP Division and VSIA President.
"We believe China is on the forefront of innovative microprocessor designs and Mentor is fully committed to ensuring design and verification success by being a key contributor to this research and development centre".
