Virtual models of CEVA DSPs integrated with Carbon SoC Designer

CEVA, Inc. and Carbon Design Systems have announced the availability of fast simulation models for CEVA's industry-leading CEVA-X and CEVA-XC DSP families for system-on-Chip designs.

"We are pleased to partner with CEVA to offer cycle accurate, virtual models of their industry-leading DSPs, and enable the development of pre-silicon hardware and software for a range of end markets," said Bill Neifert, chief technical officer at Carbon Design Systems. "These fast models can significantly shorten customers design cycles, system verification and software development, lowering overall development costs and simplifying SoC design."

"Cycle accurate simulation models and SoC virtual prototyping play an increasingly important role in system design by simulating hardware / software system behavior and shortening design cycles for SoCs," said Eran Briman, vice president of marketing at CEVA. "Virtual models of our CEVA DSPs integrated with Carbon SoC Designer Plus enable complete system validation of hardware and software before silicon is available, delivering value through the entire design cycle."

Availability: Carbon's 100% cycle accurate models and CEVA's Fast Models of members of the CEVA-X and CEVA-XC families of DSPs are available at Carbon's IP Exchange.
