Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced product
support for the ARM� Cortex�-M1 processor -- the first ARM
processor designed specifically for implementation on field
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Mentor Graphics provides the EDA
industry�s most comprehensive portfolio of vendor-independent FPGA
design solutions, allowing engineers to implement the ARM Cortex-M1
processor on any FPGA device. �With the Cortex-M1 processor,
designers have the freedom to select any FPGA device they wish.
Mentor Graphics� support for FPGA design extends that freedom,
offering our mutual customers a comprehensive, vendor-independent
flow for FPGA design,� said Kevin McDermott, director of
CPU�Marketing, Processors Division, ARM. �We consider Mentor�s
support to be a significant contribution for customer success with
the Cortex-M1 processor.� Mentor Graphics is�the only EDA company
with a complete FPGA solution, covering design entry, simulation,
synthesis, PCB design, embedded software and software development
toolsets. These hardware and software design solutions enable FPGA
system designers to develop better electronic products faster and
more cost-effectively. Unlike proprietary solutions from FPGA
vendors, Mentor products allow designers to target virtually any
FPGA platform with their Cortex-M1-based design. In addition,
Mentor Graphics is the only major EDA company with an embedded
software solution, providing turn-key technology for development
tools, operating systems and application middleware. The ARM
Cortex-M1 processor extends the range of the ARM Cortex family and
enables OEMs to standardize around a common architecture across the
performance spectrum. According to ARM, the Cortex-M1 processor
enables OEMs to achieve significant cost savings through
rationalization of software and tools investments across multiple
projects spanning FPGA, application specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) and application specific standard product (ASSP), plus
greater vendor independence through use of an industry-standard
processor. �Mentor Graphics� long-term strategic relationship with
ARM has enabled us to support the launch of the Cortex-M1 with
several plug-and-play design solutions, including design assembly,
embedded software toolsets, and most recently Precision� Synthesis
for FPGA devices,� said Simon Bloch, general manager, Design
Creation and Synthesis Division, Mentor Graphics. �With these
vendor-independent offerings from Mentor, designers are free to
select any FPGA device to implement their designs based on the ARM
Cortex-M1 processor.� Supporting Toolsets For design, rapid
assembly and validation, Mentor Graphics offers Platform Express�,
a tool that uses the IP-XACT� specification by The SPIRIT
Consortium� to automatically assemble hardware and software IP into
a complete design and drive downstream processes. Platform Express
allows designers to rapidly integrate hardware and software IP with
the Cortex-M1 processor and quickly examine interactions between
hardware blocks, identify interconnect bottlenecks, and validate
hardware/software functionality before initiating implementation
automatically. Mentor Graphics and ARM will host a seminar on this
tool flow for the Cortex-M1 at the Embedded Systems Conference,
April 3, San Jose, Calif. For more information, please visit:

the extra space if one exists.) Precision Synthesis is a leading
RTL and physical synthesis tool and is the centerpiece of the
industry's most comprehensive vendor-independent solution for FPGA
design. The tool uses the same design source and constraints,
enabling designers to synthesize the ARM Cortex-M1 processor for
optimal performance on any FPGA technology. Designers can take
advantage of the wide device support and superior quality of
results (QoR) provided by Precision Synthesis to target the
smallest and least expensive FPGA for their Cortex-M1
processor-based designs. Additionally, the EDGE� Developers Suite
and the Nucleus� operating system (OS) will provide a foundation
for Cortex-M1 developers to accelerate their electronic device�s
time-to-market and increase their margins. The EDGE Developer Suite
includes an IDE, Compiler, Debugger, Profiler, JTAG and Host
Simulation software. The Nucleus OS family of products includes
kernels, networking, USB, graphics and file system software that
are ideal for applications in consumer electronics, industrial
controls, medical and telematics vertical markets. Nucleus software
is highly reliable, extremely scalable and has a very small memory
footprint. Availability For detailed pricing and availability
