Altium to Host LiveEvent at electronicaUSA/Embedded Systems Conference 2004
Altium Demonstrates Nexar and New 2004 Range Of
"LiveDesign-enabled" Products at Technical Workshops
During the Largest Systems Design Event in North America
SYDNEY, Australia—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 15, 2004—
Altium Limited (ASX:ALU), a leading developer of Windows-based
electronics design software, today announced that it will host a
LiveEvent entitled "Nexar Goes Live" at electronicaUSA with the
Embedded Systems Conference 2004. Altium's fast-paced LiveEvent
discusses the current pressures on electronics design and will
demonstrate a unique approach to systems-level design that opens up
new design possibilities for engineers and developers alike.
At the event, Nancy Eastman, president of Altium USA, will unveil
and lead a live demonstration of Altium's Nexar, the industry's first
comprehensive, vendor-independent solution for embedded system-level
design on an FPGA platform. Altium will also present 17 technical
workshops over the 3 days which will address industry-wide electronics
design challenges by presenting a unique, LiveDesign methodology with
which attendees can utilize their current skill sets.
"In the last 12 months, FPGAs have evolved from their traditional
role as containers for custom logic components, into high-performance,
low-cost platforms capable of hosting entire intelligent systems. And,
for the first time, these 'platform FPGAs' have the potential to bring
chip-level system integration within the reach of mainstream
engineers," says Eastman. "By hosting the LiveEvent, Altium is
providing the ideal environment for engineers to learn about the
valuable benefits of the programmability and reconfigurability of
FPGAs, and exchange information about the design tools their
businesses depend on."
Pre-registration for Altium's LiveEvent is recommended as numbers
are limited. To ensure a place, please visit

for online registration. All attendees will receive a free 64MB USB
memory stick and qualify for the draw to win a Nexar license valued at
US$7,955.

LiveEvent Details
What: electronicaUSA with Embedded Systems Conference and
Exhibition
When: Tuesday, March 30,
11:30 a.m. PST
Where: Moscone Convention Center,
North Meeting Rooms, Room 123,
San Francisco, Calif.
Altium Technical Workshops
Representatives from Altium will present at technical workshops
throughout the conference, including:
"Rapid design and implementation of complete embedded systems
on an FPGA"
This workshop demonstrates how easy it is to build
complete processor-based digital systems on FPGAs using
existing board-level methodologies. Topics will include:
creating an FPGA project from the supplied pre-synthesized
libraries, targeting the design to an FPGA, the NanoBoard or a
nano-level breadboard, and debugging the embedded software.
"Get LiveDesign enabled"
This seminar introduces Altium's LiveDesign methodology --
the embodiment of what Altium believes mainstream engineers
and developers will need in next-generation electronic design
tools. It gives an overview of how LiveDesign-enabled tools
provide real-time communication and interaction between the
designer and the design, enabling simultaneous development,
debugging and testing of both hardware and software components
of the design.
