National Instruments GPS Simulation Toolkit 1.5 for LabVIEW
National Instruments introduced the NI GPS Simulation Toolkit 1.5 for LabVIEW. The toolkit expands the NI RF PXI platform to provide engineers a cost-efficient, high-performance solution for GPS receiver testing that exceeds the capabilities of traditional box instruments. The latest version of the GPS Simulation Toolkit features extended time duration of non-repeating GPS satellite signals [...]
Carbonized ARM Processor Models for CoWare Platform
CoWare and Carbon Design Systems have teamed together to create implementation-accurate models of ARM IP targeted for CoWare’s SystemC-based design solutions. The models and model kits will include implementation-accurate solutions for the ARM Cortex-A9 processor, AMBA3 Interconnect (PL301) matrix, and more. The complete portfolio of Carbonized models and model kits for the CoWare environment will [...]
Software and the Art of Business Unusual
By Michel Genard
The semiconductor industry has been slowed by the current economic crisis. According to Gartner, worldwide semiconductor revenue growth in 2009 is expected to be 1%, down by approximately 7 percentage points from previous estimates. Even with the very weak economic environment, semiconductor growth was surprisingly strong until recently. However, the industry is changing [...]
Virtutech Hybrid Simulation
Virtutech, Inc. recently announced a hybrid simulation capability that supports multiple levels of model abstraction within its Simics simulation environment. The capability provides a fully reversible and deterministic simulation environment for easy experimentation with partitioning, parallelizing and optimizing systems and applications. The first implementation of this capability supports the advanced eight-core QorIQ P4080 processor from [...]
Renesas E100 Emulator for CISC Embedded Systems
The E100 full-spec emulator, from Renesas Technology, improves the system design process by offering enhanced ease of use and performance compared to currently available emulators, while providing advanced debugging capabilities. The development tool directly addresses the need for more efficient debugging environments, a need mandated by the increased functional complexity of MCU-based products and the [...]
