EVE to Provide Hardware-Assisted Verification Platform for Tensilica's Diamond Standard Processor Family
SAN JOSE, Calif. & SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Feb. 20, 2006—
EVE and Tensilica,(R) Inc., today announced that
Tensilica's new Diamond Standard family of processor cores will be
made available pre-programmed into EVE's hardware-assisted
verification platform to offer a fast prototyping vehicle to generate
embedded software for system-on-chip (SoC) design.
Tensilica customers can purchase EVE's ZeBu-Diamond that includes
a single Xilinx Virtex 4 field programmable gate array (FPGA)
pre-loaded with one of Tensilica's Diamond cores. The debugger in
Xtensa Xplorer(TM), Tensilica's integrated development environment, is
linked to ZeBu-Diamond to provide hardware/software co-verification
and to dramatically accelerate overall SoC verification and debugging.
The combination of EVE's automatic compiler technology for mapping
SoCs to FPGAs and Tensilica's high-performance Diamond Standard
processors ensures that design teams will have access to a unified
hardware system debug and software validation environment.
"Combining Tensilica's Diamond family with the latest-generation
ZeBu will give software programmers a much-needed head start in
generating embedded software," says Lauro Rizzatti, worldwide
marketing vice president and general manager of EVE-USA. "Our
relationship with Tensilica is long standing and successful, and we
are pleased to be a preferred emulation platform partner for the
Diamond Standard series of processors. We believe this product
combination will be successful."
"Product teams want to start software development as early in the
design cycle as possible", states Steve Roddy, Tensilica's vice
president of marketing. "We highly recommend EVE's ZeBu Diamond
platform for customers of our high-performance Diamond Standard
Processors."
