EVE Named ARM EDA Partner, RealView Model Library Access Program Member
Move Enables EVE's Hardware-Assisted Verification Platform
to Support ARM IP Offering
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 24, 2004—
Emulation and Verification Engineering (EVE) today became an
official Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Partner of ARM ((LSE:
ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)), the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit
embedded RISC microprocessor solutions. Membership of the Partner
Program will enable EVE's products to support ARM(R) core-based
developers.
Additionally, EVE has also joined the ARM RealView(R) Model
Library (RVML) Access Program, part of the ARM Connected Community.
Through the Program, aimed at providing a range of tool options for
RealView Model Library users, the Model Library components have been
integrated with EVE's hardware-assisted verification platform.
EVE's ZeBu -- or Zero Bugs -- is used to accelerate the
verification process of ASIC and field programmable gate array (FPGA)
designs and the software development cycle for embedded software
designs. Installed on a designer's desktop, ZeBu offers a
comprehensive set of operational modes, from co-simulation with
various types of test benches
(Verilog/VHDL/C/C++/SystemC/SystemVerilog/Test vectors), at the
signal-level and transaction-level, to in-circuit-emulation, and
stand-alone emulation. Providing similar hardware debugging
capabilities to those found in high-end emulation systems, ZeBu
operates at a substantially higher speed and at a fraction of their
cost.
The connection of ZeBu to the RealView Multi-ICE(R) interface unit
enables ARM soft cores to be directly emulated on the FPGAs of ZeBu
and debugged using the ARM RealView Debugger.
"Design verification is vitally important to our Partners," said
Duncan Bryan, EDA Relations manager, ARM. "The use of EVE's ZeBu
hardware-assisted verification platform with ARM IP strengthens the
currently available design verification solutions."
"With embedded software content growing far faster than hardware
complexity, hardware-assisted validation becomes a mandatory vehicle
to quickly and efficiently verify and debug hardware and embedded
software in ARM IP-based designs," adds Dr. Luc Burgun, EVE's chief
executive officer (CEO) and president. "ZeBu achieves the above faster
and cheaper than other solutions on the market."
