CEVA is a leading licensor of silicon intellectual property (SIP) platform solutions and DSP cores. Carbon Design Systems is a leading supplier of solutions for architectural analysis, performance optimization, and pre-silicon firmware debug.
Now, CEVA and Carbon have announced the availability of fast simulation models for CEVA’s CEVA-X and CEVA-XC DSP families, dramatically reducing customers’ hardware and software development time for next-generation System-on-Chip designs.
The first models are already available, delivering 100% cycle accuracy for each processor and can be accessed through Carbon’s IP Exchange web portal.
As part of the collaboration, CEVA’s comprehensive software development tools suite, CEVA-ToolBox
was enhanced to integrate with Carbon’s SoC Designer Plus virtual platform, providing users a direct DSP software debug capability throughout the virtual prototyping process.
The integration of these models based on implementations of the CEVA-X and CEVA-XC DSP families are already in use by leading semiconductor customers for advanced wireless application development.
“We are pleased to partner with CEVA to offer cycle accurate, virtual models of their industry-leading DSPs, and enable the development of pre-silicon hardware and software for a range of end markets,” said Bill Neifert, chief technical officer at Carbon Design Systems. “These fast models can significantly shorten customers design cycles, system verification and software development, lowering overall development costs and simplifying SoC design.”
“Cycle accurate simulation models and SoC virtual prototyping play an increasingly important role in system design by simulating hardware / software system behavior and shortening design cycles for SoCs,” said Eran Briman, vice president of marketing at CEVA. “Virtual models of our CEVA DSPs integrated with Carbon SoC Designer Plus enable complete system validation of hardware and software before silicon is available, delivering value through the entire design cycle.”
Availability
Carbon’s 100% cycle accurate models and CEVA’s Fast Models of members of the CEVA-X and CEVA-XC families of DSPs are available today at Carbon’s IP Exchange web portal: www.carbonipexchange.com
