Visualisation is a uniquely powerful way of understanding complex datasets - and today's SoC designs are certainly complex. The white paper looks at the benefits of gathering and analysing SoC performance data in a visual context. It shows how design teams can gain a better understanding of the real-world performance of their products, quickly identify problems, and rapidly drill down into them.

UltraSoC announced that it will provide support within its universal SoC (system-on-chip) debug solution for products based on the RISC-V open-source instruction architecture (ISA).

UltraSoC and Sondrel has announced Sondrel’s accreditation as an UltraSoC Design Services Partner.

UltraSoC has announced the latest version of its advanced semiconductor IP and software tools for SoC development, debug, optimisation and hardware security. The latest release in UltraSoC’s continuous development programme includes extended support for data analytics and visualisation, improved performance monitoring and system optimisation capabilities, enhanced integration with third-party tool-chains, improved support for functional saf...

UltraSoC has announced it is providing the benefits of its performance optimisation and system level profiling solutions to SoC development teams utilising Imagination Technologies’ MIPS processor architecture. This gives SoC designers access to a development environment that offers a holistic view of their entire system, encompassing not only MIPS processors via an interface between Imagination’s Codescape Debugger and on-chip UltraS...

UltraSoC and Lauterbach have announced a collaboration to create a fully featured independent system-on-chip (SoC) development and debug environment. The partnership brings together Lauterbach’s TRACE32 integrated, universal development system and UltraSoC’s on-chip debug and analytics IP, to dramatically ease the work of engineering teams creating the advanced SoCs needed in industries such as mobile communications, automotive and th...

UltraSoC has announced that four distinguished technology business leaders have joined its Strategic Advisory Board. The new members – Simon Davidmann, Guillaume d’Eyssautier, Vijay Dube and Professor David May – bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the company. They have between them established and successfully exited at least a dozen start-ups, in the process creating hundreds of millions of dollars of value; and hav...

UltraSoC has enhanced its SoC debug and analytics product with the availability of the Universal Streaming Communicator (USC). The new silicon IP allows the UltraSoC intelligent on-chip infrastructure to communicate seamlessly via a broad range of physical media and commonly used serial communications protocols. This empowers silicon development teams to choose exactly the right debug methodology and architecture for any SoC - from cost sensitive...

UltraSoC have announced Bare Metal Security capabilities, extending its industry-leading on-chip monitoring and analytics to deliver security functionality required in a broad range of embedded products, from IoT appliances to enterprise systems. Bare Metal Security features are implemented as hardware running below the operating system, so are non-intrusive and remain robust even if the system’s conventional security measures are compromis...

UltraSoC has announced that it has added deadlock detection capabilities within its products for SoC analysis, profiling and debug. The latest features allow SoC architects, developers and debug engineers to detect and diagnose hard-to-find corner cases which can cause complex SoCs to hang or stall intermittently and unpredictably, sometimes after days of continuous normal operation.
