The electronic system level (ESL) products associated with this acquisition are the Handel C-based algorithm synthesis flow found in the DK Design Suite, PixelStreams and the RC Series of FPGA development and prototyping boards. Key employees will join Mentor to ensure continued product support.
“This agreement reaffirms Mentor’s leadership in ESL design with the richest ESL tool suite on the market,” said Simon Bloch, vice president and general manager of Mentor’s Design Creation and Synthesis Division. “Mentor is happy to work with Agility to provide its customers a home that gives them full support for their legacy products until they are ready to upgrade to Catapult® C Synthesis on their own terms and schedule.”
“Mentor understands ESL very well and is offering our customers continued support and a way forward with a technology that has proven itself to be a time-to-market saver,” said Dave Burow, Agility’s CEO. “By working with Mentor Graphics, we can safeguard the trust that our customers put in us.”
