Mentor Graphics Corporation

Source: Mentor Graphics Corporation
Mentor Graphics' embedded software and co-verification solutions deliver industry- leading products that support all phases of the embedded systems design cycle. This support is vital for the emerging System-on- Chip (SoC) applications where much of the hw and sw verification must be done throughout the whole design cycle pre to post silicon. Mentor Graphics, with its optimizing Microtec Compilers, industry-standard multi-core XRAY Debugger and proven VRTX RTOS, is a leading supplier of embedded software development solutions to more than 50,000 users worldwide. These tools can be used individually or together with industry leading RTOSs, such as Mentor Graphics' own VRTX, other commercial RTOSs, or proprietary RTOSs to develop dedicated applications. The Mentor Graphics products provide the industry's most technically advanced solution for complex system debugging, including XRAY support for multiple homogenous or heterogeneous cores in a design.

For system-level designs, Mentor offers the Seamless Co-Verification Environment, the industry leader in hw/sw co-verification, and the XRAY Debugger. The Seamless tools deliver high performance, high accuracy co- verification months before a hardware prototype can be built. Because the Seamless product enables software and hardware development to be parallel activities, integration starts at an earlier point in the design cycle, enabling detection of potential integration errors before fabrication, and thus reducing the risk of hardware prototype iterations. The XRAY Debugger enables the software engineers to test and debug their code, by being the software connection to the Seamless Co-Verification Environment. When used in tandem, Mentor Graphics embedded software and co-verification products deliver a powerful solution that can significantly reduce design-cycles and speed time-to-market while increasing design integrity.
