SystemC-based development integrates ARM models
Summit Design has extended its EDA partnership agreement with ARM and has licensed ARM cycle-callable models (CCMs) for distribution with Summit's Visual Elite ESC product.
SystemC training meets growing demand
Summit Design is working with Willamette HDL to offer SystemC courses with its Visual Elite system-level design and verification environment to support growing demand for ESL SystemC-based solutions.
DATE visitors will see demonstrations of Visual ESC and System Architect, a complete ARM based SoC platform modelled with SystemC at transaction level that offers HW/SW coverification and debugging with native ARM SW IDE and virtual prototyping.
With Visual ESC and System Architect, it is possible to simulate with built-in instrumentation calls (monitors) in the processor, trace software activity and provide statistics.
Users can profile SW execution - instruction distribution, interrupt latency etc, as well as log and analyse HW architecture attributes - latencies, throughput, and memory usage.
"In the face of growing chip complexity and shrinking market windows, Summit Design is solely focused on enabling our customers to stay one step ahead of fierce market competition", said Rami Rachamim, Director of Marketing at Summit Design.
"Visual Elite, which is seeing rapidly growing usage in Europe, allows engineers to seamlessly integrate and mix a SystemC flow into their existing HDL flow while using text or graphical modelling techniques, and a unified verification and debugging toolset.
This is extremely critical for companies that are changing focus to SystemC and are looking for ways to lower the SystemC adoption cycle and minimise risk during such migration while leveraging all of their existing investment".
In response to Europe's growing need for unique development techniques that can support its advanced products and provide a competitive advantage, Summit is investing substantial resources and providing strong SystemC support.
