Edited by the Electronicstalk Editorial Team on 21 April 2003
Pre-silicon prototyping supports ARM development
Aptix has joined the ARM Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Partnership Programme
The programme enables developers to choose from a wide choice of design tools, from leading EDA vendors, with the knowledge that the tools are compatible with the ARM IP, supplied with the tools. This partnership ultimately provides engineers with the tools for faster and more accurate development of complex SoC-based products.

Model speeds ARM system development before silicon
A new soft macrocell model based on the ARM926EJ-S core is available for Aptix pre-silicon prototyping systems - Aptix System Explorer and Aptix Software Integration Station
The Aptix-supplied combination of ARM Integrator core modules and the Aptix FPGA-based pre-silicon-prototype solution enables developers to complete software and hardware development before moving to silicon, significantly shortening the development cycle and improving confidence in the design.
"Our partnership with ARM enhances our ability to deliver a total solution through our System Explorer products to our customers that accelerates the design cycle of new products and reduces the risk of expensive design re-spins", said Charlie Miller, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Aptix.
"We have many customers who have successfully completed development projects using the ARM7 core family and the ARM9 core family, and some are now working with the ARM11 microarchitecture".

Aptix reckons its SoC Validation Lab is the only reconfigurable platform to run at multimegahertz speeds and offer high-performance transaction-based emulation based on the Accellera SCE-MI standard
"The ARM EDA Partnership Programme brings together the best SoC technology from both companies and delivers a one-stop reliable solution for Aptix emulator-based ARM SoC prototyping, that will further reduce time to market, decrease design costs and improve the performance of sophisticated SoC products", Noel Hurley, EDA Relationship Manager, ARM.
Aptix products, like System Explorer and Software Integration Station, now support ARM Integrator core modules, which provide the ARM processor personality in the system.
Aptix System Explorer MP3CF and MP4CF platforms are particularly suitable for wireless communications and imaging applications that incorporate fixed-pin prototyping components such as CPUs, DSPs and memory cards.
Aptix Software Integration Station provides a low-cost platform for software developers needing a validated cycle-accurate hardware platform for firmware and application software development.
