ETAP was launched in June 2001.
Through ETAP, Mentor Graphics provides semiconductor and IP vendors with access to its market-leading embedded software technology, including its XRAY debugger, VRTX real-time operating system and Microtec compilers.
Companies can license the technologies and build customised development environments tailored for their applications, without incurring the resource expense of tackling the development task with an internal tools team.
Mentor's CTP members can ease the software development process by providing third-party consulting resources to aid in system software development.
ETAP members can access this network of experts to assist in creation of an embedded software environment built to handle the specific nuances of their processor or IP technology.

"Since ETAP's highly successful start in June, we've worked on evaluating a pool of technology experts to help our licensees with the software development process", said Michael Kaskowitz, vice president and general manager of Mentor's Embedded Software Division.
"The first companies to be certified by Mentor Graphics deliver a broad range of technology expertise, ranging from the development of customized debug environments to real-time operating systems".
The first three members in the Certified Technology Providers programme offer a range of specialised technologies and services for the embedded systems arena.
Sankhya Technologies, one of India's leading system software development companies, has demonstrated strong expertise in the area of compiler and debugger development, porting and maintenance.
"For many years, Mentor Graphics has leveraged our expertise to help port its industry-leading Microtec Compilers", said Gopi Kumar Bulusu, chief executive officer and vice president of engineering for Sankhya Technologies Private.
"As a Mentor Graphics Certified Technology Provider, we can formally extend our expertise to Mentor's licensees, aiding them in the difficult task of creating processor-specific software development environments.
PEP Modular Computers and TekSci both have longstanding relationships with Mentor Graphics and its VRTX users.
PEP's expertise covers real-time applications and development environments for the support of VRTX.
PEP has taken on many VRTX projects to port and customized the RTOS technology to new environments and processors.
As a CTP member, PEP will provide ETAP members with continued quality support for expanding real-time applications into their designs.
TekSci is one of the largest safety-critical software and system consulting companies in the USA and is nationally recognised for providing quality support for real-time and software development applications within the telecommunications, avionics and transportation and instrumentation industries.
Working closely with Mentor, TekSci will provide ETAP members with complete project management support for software development needs.
