Common embedded software development platform
for all stages
Embedded system developers who would like to have single
platform from pre-silicon to final product can go for Mentor
Graphics' new platform for this purpose. The set of tools
from Mentor includes Vista Virtual Prototyping product,
Veloce hardware emulator, prototype target boards, and end
products or any combination thereof. These solutions are
part of Mentor's ESL product focus.
"Mentor is closing the gap in the ESL methodology.
Their embedded software group, strengthened by the acquisition
of CodeSourcery, puts them in the technology leadership
position in the ESL software design flow," stated Gary
Smith, chief analyst of Gary Smith EDA. "SoC and system
developers will now have the flexibility to debug and analyze
their systems at any stage and on any hardware representation."
"The extension of Mentor's Embedded Sourcery CodeBench
unified software debugging platform to run on Mentor prototyping
and emulation platforms presents a range of benefits for
embedded software development," stated Raja Tabet,
vice president, Software and Enablement Technology, Networking
and Multimedia of Freescale Semiconductor. "Using this
technology, developers can speed time to market and address
key software tasks earlier in the development cycle."
"Since 1996, Mentor Graphics has been the only EDA
vendor with a broad product line of embedded tools and software
IP, now used in more than two billion devices worldwide,"
said Wally Rhines, CEO of Mentor Graphics Corporation. "Integrating
our software and hardware expertise more readily enables
our customers to deal with the challenges of today's multicore
and power management complexities."
