Tensilica and EVE Speed SoC Development Times

Tensilica is working with Emulation and Verification Engineering (EVE) to speed the design of complex SoCs with multiple Xtensa processors. Tensilica’s customers will be able to download pre-verified RTL code produced by Tensilica’s Xtensa Processor Generator into EVE’s hardware prototyping platform for integrated whole-chip design verification. Tensilica’s Xtensa Xplorer development environment will be linked to EVE’s ZeBu hardware-based verification product to provide hardware/software co-verification and improve overall SoC simulation and debugging. By providing our users with easy access to EVE’s ZeBu prototyping platform, they should be able to quickly verify their entire SOC designs.
