Mentor Graphics Announces Common Embedded Software Development Platform for Any Stage of Development from Virtual Prototypes ...
06 6월 2011 - 7:00PM
Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced a
unified embedded software debugging platform, from pre-silicon to
final product, based on the integration of the Mentor® Embedded
Sourcery™ CodeBench embedded software development tools with
Mentor’s leading electronic system level (ESL), verification, and
hardware emulation products. These include the Mentor Graphics®
Vista™ Virtual Prototyping product, Veloce® hardware emulator,
prototype target boards, and end products or any combination
thereof. The new common platform, being shown at the Mentor booth
#1542 at DAC, enables embedded software developers to access
technology data from hardware design tools without leaving their
native embedded software environment.
“Mentor is closing the gap in the ESL methodology. Their
embedded software group, strengthened by the acquisition of
CodeSourcery, puts them in the technology leadership position in
the ESL software design flow,” stated Gary Smith, chief analyst of
Gary Smith EDA. “SoC and system developers will now have the
flexibility to debug and analyze their systems at any stage and on
any hardware representation.”
The Sourcery CodeBench product was derived from the December
2010 Mentor-acquired Sourcery G++ technology—the de facto standard
for embedded Linux® and bare metal software development, with over
20,000 registered users. The common platform provides the
flexibility to run unified embedded software debug and analysis at
any stage of development, making it an ideal solution for earlier
visibility of system performance and embedded software validation.
This enables upfront and continuous retooling of today’s complex
SoCs and multicore designs, resulting in greater accuracy,
optimized performance, and faster product delivery.
“The extension of Mentor’s Embedded Sourcery CodeBench unified
software debugging platform to run on Mentor prototyping and
emulation platforms presents a range of benefits for embedded
software development,” stated Raja Tabet, vice president, Software
and Enablement Technology, Networking and Multimedia of Freescale
Semiconductor. “Using this technology, developers can speed time to
market and address key software tasks earlier in the development
cycle.”
Sourcery CodeBench: Industry’s Most Widely Deployed GNU
Toolchain
The industry-leading Sourcery CodeBench integrated development
environment (IDE) is based on the GNU toolchain and provides
embedded developers with a powerful and easy-to-use tool suite to
develop and optimize systems based on a broad range of devices.
Sourcery CodeBench with SystemAnalyzer provides a system-level
visual analysis capability that allows developers to see what is
running on each software core to identify bottlenecks, gain insight
on resource utilization, and to build more reliable multicore
systems.
The host software target generated by the SystemAnalyzer tool
includes a unique unified trace and debug data repository of code
that can be tested across the evolving range of hardware
representations. This technology provides consistency and
flexibility throughout the entire system-level development flow by
enabling hardware and software designers to select their preferred
methodology for embedded software debug and design optimization,
from virtual prototypes to boards.
“Since 1996, Mentor Graphics has been the only EDA vendor with a
broad product line of embedded tools and software IP, now used in
more than two billion devices worldwide,” said Wally Rhines, CEO of
Mentor Graphics Corporation. “Integrating our software and hardware
expertise more readily enables our customers to deal with the
challenges of today’s multicore and power management
complexities.”
