ARC and EVE Team to Accelerate SoC Development Times; Companies Will Speed the Development of Configurable SoCs with Fast, Cost-Effective Verification Systems.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- ARC(TM) International (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :ARK), the world leader in configurable CPU/DSP processor cores and subsystems, today announced that it has teamed with EVE (Emulation and Verification Engineering), an innovator in advanced verification technologies, to provide cost-effective verification solutions for configurable SoC designs. EVE will provide integrated verification systems to customers allowing them to download ARC-based SoC designs into EVE's FPGA-based hardware development platform for more rapid design verification. Furthermore, ARC's MetaWare(R) debugger will be integrated into EVE's ZeBu zebu (zē`by  ), domestic animal of the cattle family, Bos indicus, found in parts of E Asia, India, and Africa. hardware-based verification product to improve simulation and system debugging, and to provide hardware/software co-verification. EVE's unique approach to verification improves transfer rates by up to 10 times when compared to traditional emulation technologies. The tight integration of EVE's ZeBu platform with ARC's software tools reduces total development cost and accelerates time-to-silicon at a lower price when compared to high-end emulation systems. "Verification of any SoC design is a key driver of schedule and cost," said Derek Meyer, ARC's vice president of marketing. "The combination of ARC's configurable cores and development tools with EVE's hardware-based verification system delivers an easy-to-use platform that provides fast, functional verification Functional verification, in electronic design automation, is the task of verifying that the logic design conforms to specification. In everyday terms, functional verification attempts to answer the question "Does this proposed design do what is intended?" This is a complex task, . We consider ZeBu to be the ideal development platform for ARC-based SoCs." "Embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. are becoming pervasive and ARC will certainly benefit from the trend," added Lauro Rizzatti, EVE's vice president of marketing. "This partnership gives ARC-based SoC designers a powerful hardware-assisted validation solution to thoroughly test the design hardware and to start software validation The certification that an information system has been implemented correctly and that it conforms to the functional specifications derived from the original requirements. Such validation is often performed by a third party consulting organization. ahead of first-pass silicon to accelerate time-to-market and beat the competition." Availability EVE's ZeBu verification platform integrated with ARC's MetaWare debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. tools is available from EVE and sells for US $29,000.
