HARDI Electronics Provides ASIC Prototyping for Tensilica’s Diamond Standard Processors

ASIC designs using Tensilica’s popular Diamond Standard processor cores can now be prototyped and verified on the HARDI ASIC Prototyping System (HAPS). HARDI Electronics is now part of Tensilica’s Diamond Standard partners program.

“Our Diamond Standard processors have been prototyped and verified with great success on HAPS products by several of our customers and partners,” stated Larry Przywara, Tensilica’s director of strategic alliances. “Our customers appreciate the flexibility and cost-effectiveness that the highly modular HAPS products provide. HARDI is a solid platform for verifying multi-million gate ASIC designs.”

“HAPS is the ideal platform for customers of Tensilica’s popular Diamond Standard processors to use to prototype and verify their ASIC designs, as well as get a head start in generating embedded software,” stated Lars-Eric Lundgren, president of HARDI Electronics. “The HAPS system can scale from small projects to providing industry leading capacity for large ASIC designs, so it is suitable for any Diamond processor-based SOC prototype.”
