These multicore, multi-cluster CPAKs are designed to be easily customised by the user and enable designer productivity within minutes of download.
The release also includes a new version of the Carbon Traffic Generator and System Analyser and support for ARM Fast Models 8.2. A model of the ARM CoreLink NIC-400 Network Interconnect supports Swap & Play, Carbon’s exclusive technology to swap from a virtual prototype executing at 100s of MIPS to an equivalent virtual prototype running with 100% hardware accuracy.
The value of Carbon’s new multicore, multi-cluster Cortex-A57 CPAK was demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum where the CPAK was customised to represent various configurations of Freescale’s upcoming QorIQ packet processor offerings. The interconnect was configured to allow injection of packet processing workload traffic into the system leveraging Freescale IP. This gives confidence in optimising overall system performance by leveraging the CPAK’s 100% accurate models.
Carbon’s accurate virtual prototype solutions featuring advanced ARM IP are available today from Carbon IP Exchange. The list of available solutions is updated continually as new IP is released from ARM and as Carbon constructs additional CPAKs.
