Software Developers are changing their development strategy to take advantage of the latest embedded hardware architecture and core processors. As system-on-chip technology becomes more complex and IC design cycle time decreases, software engineers are starting development before any hardware development platform or RTL is available for software development. ARM "Fast Models" provide the ability to run software on the latest ARM "application" and "real-time" processor core models in speeds close to real time through a Virtual Prototype. "Fast Models" also support integration through OSCI TLM 2.0 to many EDA vendors’ simulation and performance exploration environments and OSCI SystemC.
If you would like to listen and watch this broadcast that I will present, please register and drop in on Tuesday July 27, 2010 at 10:00 AM PDT and I will be happy to hear from you. I invite you to send me your questions before (or during) the webinar so I may be sure to address them during the broadcast. Full details on the overview of the webinar, features of ARM Fast Models and what you will learn in this session are available.
Barry Spotts, EDA Core Competency Field Applications Engineer for ARM, has worked at Motorola, Avant!, Innoveda, and Summit Design as a CAD Engineer, Software Developer, and FAE integrating and supporting simulation technologies around SPICE, System Verilog, VHDL, SystemC based EDA technologies.
