Upgraded modelling for
embedded SoC designs
CoWare has developed new versions of its LisaTek Edge Processor Designer, Rim Software Designer and Hub System Integrator tools
The new release includes support for an optimised integration with the CoWare N2C design environment. The LisaTek and CoWare APIs have been optimised so as to deliver significant increase in simulation performance. CoWare recently acquired LISATek, a company noted for automating the creation and modelling of embedded processors for SoC designs.

"We've created a powerful offering in joining LisaTek with CoWare", affirms Andreas Hoffmann, Director of Engineering in CoWare's Aachen, Germany office.
"Our integrated solution brings us closer to solving key challenges in designing SoCs and embedded processors by providing multiprocessor simulation and debugging, processor modelling and platform optimisation".
In addition to the optimised integration with CoWare N2C, the new release includes Memory Explorer, which lets system designers explore, analyse and change the configuration of caches, buses and memories during simulation runs.

The ISS model allows for the optimisation of the memory subsystem, a critical component for the performance of any embedded system.
This optimisation can be done using a high-speed compiled ISS model based on patent-pending JIT-CCS (just-in-time cache compiled simulation) technology.
In addition, JIT-CCS enables the user to boot an operating system using the compiled ISS.
This technology supports self-modifying code typical of RTOSs combined with the speed of compiled simulation.
The LisaTek Macro Assembler provides features similar to a high-level programming language, including complex macros that can be called like processor instructions.
Joined with high-level control flow statements, CoWare's LisaTek Macro Assembler will greatly enhance embedded software development efficiency.
Licences for CoWare's LisaTek products begin at $50,000.
They run on the Sun Solaris, Linux and Windows NT/2000 operating systems and are available now.
