On-chip embedded flash test solution reduces design time
The DesignWare STAR Memory System for Embedded Flash product from Synopsys is claimed to be the industry's first integrated memory test and repair solution with test algorithms optimised for on-chip embedded flash memories. It is an automated pre- and post-silicon memory test, diagnostic and repair solution that enables designers to improve test coverage, reduce design time, lower test costs and maximise manufacturing yield.
Digital audio interface solution meets MIPI spec
The industry’s first MIPI SoundWireSM Controller Intellectual Property (IP) has been released by Cadence. SoundWire is a new digital audio interface specification from the MIPI Alliance that enables bi-directional digital communication with a focus on low complexity and low gate count, making it attractive to many mobile design applications.
AVX expands partnership with Modelithics
With the release of 45 Modelithics substrate scalable equivalent circuit models, AVX has expanded its partnership with Modelithics. When used in combination with electronic design automation tools, including Keysight ADS, Keysight Genesys and NI AWR Microwave Office, the highly accurate models speed up design decisions and circuit level optimisations.
Tool suite & RTOS now support the ARM Cortex-M7 processor
A tool suite and RTOS developed by Green Hills Software now support the ARM Cortex-M7 processor. The Green Hills Probe and SuperTrace Probe, the MULTI IDE, the μ-velOSity RTOS and the ARM C/C++ compilers deliver both the fastest and smallest code in the industry, according to the company.
BeSpoon Unveils Tools to Create Multiple Uses For its Ultraprecise 3D, Real-time Location Technology
BeSpoon SAS unveiled three turnkey system-level development packages that enable companies to integrate 3D real-time location system (RTLS) technology into industrial and consumer products.
IP core doubles performance for embedded Linux applications
Synopsys has announced availability of the DesignWare ARC HS38 Processor, the latest addition to the ARC HS Family of high-speed processor IP cores. Like the previously-released HS34 and HS36 processors, the 32-bit ARC HS38 is optimised for power efficiency (DMIPS/mW) and area efficiency (DMIPS/mm2) with additional features to support embedded Linux and other high-end operating systems.
Debug platform upgrade enhances verification planning
Synopsys has developed its Verdi Coverage advanced planning and coverage technology to address the growing challenge of verification closure for complex system-on-chips (SoCs). It introduces advanced technology that allows users to quickly create efficient verification plans, integrate third-party and user-defined metrics, link plans to requirement documents, and intuitively track project and test-level metrics across simulation, static checking,...
Software library smooths path to real time simulation
The new dSPACE Power RealTime Library enables faster and easier simulation of circuit models that were developed in SimPowerSystems (MathWorks Simulink). Two typical application areas are wind energy generators and electric drives in vehicles and aircraft. The dSPACE Power RealTime Library provides mean value models of power electronics bridge circuits that precisely emulate the electrical characteristics of fast-switching power semiconduct...
Cloud based tools used to develop hydrogen fuel cell car
Riversimple has chosen to use Cadonix’s Arcadia cloud based tools to develop the first road-going version of it’s hydrogen fuel cell powered car. Schematic design, animated circuit simulation and analysis, electrical networking and harness design are provided by the Arcadia CAD. For wire harness layout and manufacture, the easy to use tool also offers full design rule checking.
Latest Linux release jump starts product development
Wind River has released the latest version of Wind River Linux. For maximum flexibility and speedier development, it can now be accessed as binary code, in addition to source code format. The new version is also updated with the current Linux kernel, toolchain, and user space based on the upcoming Yocto Project release.
