EVE Selects eInfochips as Design Services Partner; eInfochips Set to Deliver Synthesizable Transactors for EVE's ZeBu
SAN JOSE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 26, 2006—
Advanced verification specialist EVE has selected
eInfochips, Inc., a leading silicon and product design services firm
with spec-to-silicon-to-system capabilities, to expand and complement
the internally-developed synthesizable transactor library for EVE's
ZeBu emulation platform.
eInfochips possesses extensive complex chip/SoC design and
verification experience, having executed a multitude of customer
projects in the communications, networking and computer peripheral
domains.
eInfochips was chosen for its technical expertise and proven
project management skills. This move follows EVE's announcement
earlier this year that it will offer a catalog of peripheral
intellectual property (IP) components to address wireless,
graphics/video/multimedia, networking and embedded processor markets.
Components are organized in three families -- synthesizable memory
models, hardware bridges and synthesizable transactors -- and allow
EVE to offer vertical solutions of its ZeBu ("zero bugs"). eInfochips
will develop synthesizable transactors to support popular standard and
proprietary protocols.
Transactors will interface with a testbench written in
C/C++/SystemC/SystemVerilog at a high level of abstraction to a design
under test (DUT) mapped in ZeBu and mimic a specific protocol.
Designed to provide fast execution speed, they will be based on the
ZeBu application programming interface (API) and will be mapped onto
the Reconfigurable Test bench (RTB), EVE's proprietary and patented
technology. eInfochips is currently developing an AMBA-AHB transactor,
specifically designed for EVE's ZeBu-UF/XL ASIC Emulators. The
transactor, fully compliant to the AMBA AHB 2.0 protocol can be used
to verify AHB-slave designs on the ZeBu platform.
"eInfochips' reputation for developing quality components is well
deserved," notes Lauro Rizzatti, general manager of EVE-USA and vice
president of worldwide marketing. "We believe that we've found the
ideal partner with a value system of support and service that matches
ours. We look forward to a close, cooperative relationship."
"Our partnership with EVE will enable eInfochips to extend its
functional verification expertise to hardware accelerator-based
verification," says Tapan Joshi, vice president marketing of
eInfochips. "We look forward to developing a library of transactor IP
for various domains jointly with EVE, and leveraging this expertise to
provide verification & validation services to our customers, ensuring
successful tape-out."
