Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced a new
Seamless(R) processor support package (PSP) for the Freescale
PowerQUICC(TM) III MPC8548E communications processor containing a
PowerPC(R) core. The Seamless product and new PSP provide designers
with a virtual platform on which to concurrently develop
board-level hardware and software in systems powered by the
MPC8548E. This approach increases simulation throughput, thereby
allowing designers to quickly validate that the system hardware and
embedded software are functionally correct before prototypes are
manufactured, thus reducing the risk of lengthy hardware design
iterations. "Seamless is a valuable tool for our customers. It
enables them to create and exercise virtual hardware prototypes
earlier in the design cycle, which leads to faster design closure
and time to market," said Lakshmi Mandyam, PowerQUICC III product
marketing manager, Networking and Computing Systems Group,
Freescale Semiconductor. "We're seeing strong interest in the
MPC8548E processor from our customers in the networking industry,
and we are very pleased that Mentor Graphics is ready with a
turnkey solution that extends the benefits of a leading
co-verification environment to early adopters of one of our most
advanced communications processors." The MPC8548E is one of the
latest members of Freescale families of PowerQUICC and PowerPC
processors supported by the Seamless product, supplementing a range
of existing PSPs including the MPC85xx, MPC82xx, and MPC74xx
processors. With the Mentor Graphics Seamless co-verification
environment, designers can create simulation-based functional
prototypes early in the design that can be used throughout the
verification cycle. The Seamless product is part of Mentor's
Scalable Verification platform, a full suite of products that
comprise a complete path from HDL simulation to emulation. The
MPC8548E is one of Freescale's latest next-generation
communications processors based on the scalable e500 system-on-chip
(SoC) platform and a PowerPC processor core. It is designed to
deliver gigahertz-plus communications processing performance and
advanced features, including exceptional integration and high-speed
connectivity required by enterprise networking, telecom
transmission and switching, 3G wireless infrastructure, storage,
and high-end imaging markets. The MPC8548E combines the powerful
PowerPC processor core, enhanced peripherals, and high-speed
interconnect technology to balance processor performance with I/O
system throughput. "As a leader in hardware/software verification
solutions, Mentor Graphics, together with industry-leading CPU
vendors like Freescale, can maximize the value we offer to our
companies' mutual customers," said Serge Leef, general manager of
the SoC Verification Division at Mentor Graphics. "With the
Mentor/Freescale combination, hardware engineers get the processor
performance they need for their networking and communication
devices, and an efficient verification methodology to help them
move product to market on time." Availability Seamless PSPs for the
MPC85xx, MPC82xx, and MPC74xx devices are currently available from
Mentor Graphics. For technical and pricing information, please
