WILSONVILLE, Ore., June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics Corp. (Nasdaq: MENT), a leader in advanced system
verification solutions, today announced that Inuitive, a developer
of innovative technologies that improve user experiences for
latest-generation mobile applications, has achieved first-pass
silicon success using the Veloce® emulation platform for
System-On-Chip (SoC) verification.
Inuitive's NUI (Natural User Interface) technology creates 3D
depth map and intuitive mobile applications that understand and
predict the actions a user wants to perform in any given
situation. Inuitive's NUI accomplishes this task in a simple
and intuitive way. The key components of the technology are
Inuitive's latest multi-core processor chip, NU3000, and their
innovative software that improves the usability of various mobile
devices, such as PCs, tablets, and smartphones, bringing a new
level of user personalization to the device by completing various
user tasks with one touch.
"To achieve the level of verification required for our designs,
we chose the Veloce emulation platform from Mentor for its superior
performance and excellent pre-and-post- silicon hardware-software
debug environment," said Shlomo
Gadot , CEO, Inuitive. "Our ability to perform
pre-silicon Linux boot was made possible due to the high
performance of Veloce, which would have been impractical in
software simulation. Additionally, we were able to test our USB
software drivers and other chip interfaces extensively prior to
silicon being available. Once we received silicon samples, we were
able to bring up and test our chips in a matter of days due to the
resulting high quality of the design, which is a testament to the
high-level of pre-silicon verification we achieved with
Veloce."
"I am very pleased with Inuitive's success in creating
first-pass silicon, and it is gratifying to see how the Veloce
platform has been a key part of their hardware-software
verification flow for their innovative SoC designs," said
Eric Selosse, vice president, Mentor
Emulation Division. "I wish Inuitive more success in the future and
look forward to our continued collaboration on SoC verification
requirements."
