Aptix to Demonstrate STMicroelectronics Solution for ARM926EJ-S PrimeXsys Platform at DATE.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers DATE03 Conference and Exhibition SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 3, 2003 Aptix Corporation, a leading supplier of pre-silicon prototyping tools and platforms for embedded system-on-chip (SoC) designs, today announced a demonstration of the ARM926EJ-S(TM) microprocessor core PrimeXsys(TM) Platform on an Aptix Software Integration Station(TM), running multimedia applications at multi-megahertz speeds with the AMBA AMBA Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (Spanish) AMBA Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture AMBA American Mold Builders Association AMBA American Mustang and Burro Association AMBA Association of Master of Business Administration (TM) Multi-layer AHB AHB Advanced High-performance Bus AHB Assault Helicopter Battalion AHB Air Historical Branch AHB Attack Helicopter Battalion AHB Automatic Half Barriers AHB Aussie Home Brewers AHB Active Hyper Bass bus. The demonstration was developed by STMicroelectronics. The demonstration is being shown at DATE03 Conference and Exhibition, March 3 - 7, in Munich, Germany (http://www.date-conference.com/conference/). ST and Aptix engineers will demonstrate the solution for the verification and validation Verification and Validation (V&V) is the process of checking that a product, service, or system meets specifications and that it fulfills its intended purpose. These are critical components of a quality management system such as ISO 9000. of multimedia and wireless SoC applications to customers at the event. The demonstration highlights the use of the Aptix solution with STMicroelectronics in their development of chipsets for multimedia and wireless applications, based on the ARM PrimeXsys Platform. Philippe Magarshack, group vice president for Design Automation, Central Research and Development at STMicroelectronics , said, "The Aptix high-performance reconfigurable Pre-Silicon Prototype for SoC Platforms such as the ARM PrimeXsys Platform enables concurrent hardware/software development, integration of software and IP, and validation of multimedia and wireless applications which helps to remove risk from increasingly complex SoC designs with their escalating mask costs." Dr. Amr Mohsen, Aptix Chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , said, "We are pleased to provide Aptix high-performance pre-silicon prototype solutions for leading SoC platforms such as the ARM PrimeXsys Platform. The availability of pre-silicon prototypes using Aptix solutions reduces time-to-market, decreases design costs, and improves performance of innovative products like those developed at STMicroelectronics." "The PrimeXsys platform enables us to support our Partners, such as STMicroelectronics, in creating pre-silicon prototypes much more quickly, giving them more time to develop their embedded SoC integrated circuits and validate their application software under real-world conditions before actual silicon of their designs is available," said Mike Muller, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

The PrimeXsys Platform is based around the ARM926EJ-S microprocessor core, which incorporates ARM Jazelle(R) technology for Java acceleration, an AMBA Multi-layer AHB bus and PrimeCell(R) peripherals. About Aptix Aptix Corporation is a leading provider of high-performance pre-silicon prototype (PSP (PlayStation Portable) See PlayStation. ) solutions to System-on-Chip (SoC) developers, enabling them to accelerate their time-to-market, reduce costs and improve their product performance. Aptix's reconfigurable and portable PSPs enable hardware developers to integrate custom logic and to verify and 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. complex SoC designs in a real-world environment and software developers to accelerate the firmware and application software development timeline. In addition, these flexible prototypes can be deployed for field-testing and to multiple customers for evaluation, providing a development head start. Visit Aptix on the web at http://www.aptix.com.
