Platform puts VoIP on ARM PrimeXsys
Aptix Corp has combined with SoftRISC to produce a high-performance voice over IP (VoIP) development and prototyping environment based on the ARM PrimeXsys platform
The VoIP development and prototyping environment consists of an Aptix System Explorer integrated with SoftRISC VoIP applications software products. The Aptix System Explorer incorporates an ARM926EJ-S in a logic tile configuration. The ARM PrimeXsys platform IP is premapped into an Aptix flexible prototyping module, and is available to ARM926EJ(F)-S PrimeXSys platform licensees as a ready-to-use bitstream from Aptix.

Pre-silicon prototyping supports ARM development
Aptix has joined the ARM Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Partnership Programme
As a close working partner with ARM on its PrimeXsys programme, SoftRISC has been implementing VoIP and multimedia software solutions on several ARM platforms - including ARM7T, ARM9T, and ARM9E.
SoftRISC's ARM centric communication software eliminates the need for a separate DSP chip, as used in a traditional approach.
SoftRISC's customers are taking advantage of a way to design out the DSP from their end products such as IP phones, PDAs, residential gateways, and multimedia set top boxes.
"Further to the premium working relationship with ARM that SoftRISC enjoys, we have been working closely with Aptix to enable their development platform with SoftRISC's VoIP solution", said Ashok Setty, CEO of SoftRISC.
"As is evident, a very healthy growth in the VoIP space is taking place and SoftRISC is ready to deploy its robust software on ARM platforms".
"We see VoIP applications mushrooming in the near future", said Charlie Miller, Aptix Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.
"Our development environment gives customers a huge head start in getting their applications up and running.
Bringing together multiple IPs and software to produce an embedded SoC design can be a daunting task.
With this collaboration between Aptix and SoftRISC, customers can start from a known working system and make modifications and additions as needed".
The development and prototyping environment will be available to customers in Q2.
Aptix System Explorer prototype development platforms including ARMINT3 logic tile interface and sufficient FPGA capacity for the PrimeXsys platform and a million gates of customer design logic are and priced starting at US $80,000.
Pricing for SoftRISC VoIP software components starts at $75,000 and are available from SoftRISC.
