"Software certification and validation are becoming more important to embedded customers," said Mark Onions, director of marketing of the System Design Division at ARM. "By adding integrated support for the ARM RealView Compilation tools, the Cadence solution now allows customers to achieve better validation and time to market."
The Incisive TLM debugging capabilities provide an embedded software-oriented look-and-feel and automated probing of TLM transactions. ISX offers embedded software thread tracing that supports leading embedded software compilers, along with multiple abstraction levels from RTL to TLM. In addition, ISX automatically creates OVM test bench templates from embedded software sources to simplify hardware/software co-verification.
"As systems carry greater software functionality and are split across multiple processing platforms, the co-verification and co-debug of hardware and software is increasingly critical," said Dr. Yankin Tanurhan, vice president and general manager at Virage Logic. "By bringing together hardware and software verification tools and methodologies, Cadence is providing our mutual customers with additional capabilities to further accelerate their SoC development efforts."
"The embedded software development community is increasingly focused on improving quality," said Christopher Smith, vice president of marketing at Green Hills Software, Inc. "The integration with Cadence Incisive Software Extensions provides our embedded software development customers a unique approach to software quality not available elsewhere."
"Embedded software and verification have been highlighted by our customers and industry analysts as the key cost components of new IPs and future SoC designs," said Ran Avinun, system design and verification marketing group director at Cadence Design Systems, Inc. "Recognizing these trends, we continue to execute on our system development strategy, adding automated co-debug and co-verification capabilities integrated with popular embedded software environments to our existing solutions."
