Aptix Corp has begun shipping Release 5.0 of its software for reconfigurable prototyping products - System Explorer and Software Integration Station (SIS).
The new software release is immediately available to all customers with software support contracts, and includes new support for TCL scripting, improved probing and triggering, and new hardware self-test.
Raj Mathur, Director of Software Technical Marketing at Aptix remarked, "The 5.0 release has several key enhancements to both the logic and physical mapping flow that make it even easier for our customers to map and debug their design.
Most notably, we now support TCL scripting, GTECH netlist flow and have introduced a flexible probe instrumentation flow in Design Pilot, our flagship logic-mapping tool".
Mathur continued, "In the Explorer software, we've introduced a new hardware self-test program to help our users focus on debugging their design rather than debugging hardware faults.
In addition, we've reduced the time-to-probe signals by up to 70%.
These, along with other new capabilities, boost designer productivity and allow them to increase verification cycles while making the products much easier to use".
"With this release, the incremental probing time has helped me debug design signals much faster than before.
Not only is the probing faster, but the software can spawn incremental recompiles to several workstations now.
They've also built a very powerful Linux-based self-test program and we are pleased to see these key improvements", said Helena Krupnova, CMG Functional verification Group, STMicroelectronics, Grenoble, France.
Version 5.0 is available now.
Aptix pre-silicon prototyping systems start at US $60,000.
