CORRECTING and REPLACING ProDesign Joined the OCP-IP Partner Program.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CORRECTION...by OCP-IP Design Automation Conference 2004 MUNICH & WILSONVILLE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2004 In BW5310 issued May 26, 2004: The third paragraph is being removed. The corrected release reads: PRODESIGN JOINED THE OCP-IP PARTNER PROGRAM ProDesign, the proven source for hardware-assisted verification platforms for ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. and SoC development today announced membership in OCP-IP. ProDesign, which offers the CHIPit product family for high end prototyping and emulation platforms, joined the OCP-IP to optimize the verification flow, reduce design time and reduce risks associated with IP, ASIC & SoC design. "Our customers create complex IPs and SoC designs, that have high performance interfaces," said Gerhard Scherer, President of ProDesign Electronics Corporation. "Such SoC designs benefit from an open, standards-driven interconnect model that allows scalability in delivering the highest performance possible while enabling IP reuse and limiting project risks. The OCP (processor) OCP - Order Code Processor. organization addresses this need and has strong support from the industry. Because of the experiences, ProDesign has had over the past months working with customer designs, we have learned, that IP & SoC designers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a development platform that supports standard interfaces and bus systems. By integration with OCP into our Systems we can fulfill these demands and satisfy our customers." "ProDesign is a premiere provider of Emulation & Protoyping Systems for IP and SoC design," said Ian Mackintosh Ian Mackintosh, MBE, (born July 26, 1940; disappeared and presumed dead July 1979) was a Scottish naval officer, a writer of thriller novels, and a screenwriter for British television. His first novel, A Slaying in September, was published in 1967. , President of OCP-IP. "We are pleased to have ProDesign adopt and endorse OCP. ProDesign's addition to the membership roster shows the strong support throughout industry for a single socket standard that everyone can use, no matter what their on-chip architecture, or whose processor cores they're using."

About CHIPit ProDesign is offering a complete line of products for any type of hardware-assisted verification needs, from the initial IP validation at an engineer's desk all the way through to the full chip implementation. The CHIPit Silver Edition, a one FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. card, can be installed in the development/verification seat for the individual block validation needs in addition to serving an initial step towards the system integration on larger systems. The CHIPit Gold Edition, a two FPGA solution from ProDesign, can be used for the rapid prototyping Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. of smaller designs, both for the systems level verification as well as a means to deploy prototypes for software development. The CHIPit Platinum Edition, a 3-18 FPGA system with flexible interconnects, is able to implement large designs running at local speeds of up to 200 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and system-wide speeds of up to 100 MHz. Customers can start using the technology at any level and adapt their systems as their needs expand. All products use the same software environment and toolset, eliminating the need for a user to learn a new environment nor does the design have to be re-implemented when a platform change is required. The system supports co-emulation with popular simulators and comes fully equipped with a full suite of debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. tools. About OCP International Partnership OCP International Partnership (OCP-IP) is a non-profit semiconductor industry consortium formed to administer the support, promotion and enhancement of the Open Core Protocol (OCP) specification. OCP is the only fully supported, openly licensed, complete interface socket for intellectual property (IP) cores. OCP addresses design, verification and testing issues common to IP core reuse in "plug-and-play" system-on-chip (SOC) products. Additional information is available at www.ocpip.org. About ProDesign Electronics Corporation ProDesign is creator of the CHIPit family of hardware-assisted verification platforms for the SoC and ASIC development community. CHIPit provides an integrated set of tools with 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. capabilities that provide a dual solution for hardware and software verification Software verification is a broad and complex discipline of software engineering whose goal is to assure that a software fully satisfies all the expected requirements. There are two fundamental approaches to verification:
