Innoveda has announced it will enhance its V-CPU hardware/software co-verification tool with a processor support package for the IBM PowerPC 440 core. This processor support package will be linked with VxSim, a complete prototyping and simulation tool from Wind River Systems that is currently available with V-CPU for early deployment of a system-on-chip (SoC) HW/SW co-verification solution.
Through an agreement with Endeavor Intertech, Hillsboro, USA, Innoveda will integrate Endeavor's PowerPC 440 bus interface models with V-CPU. The agreement also applies to the IBM PowerPC 405 core. The PowerPC 440 is IBM's latest high-performance CPU core for SoC applications, providing up to 1000 DMIPS with a superscalar design, while dissipating less than 2 W of power.
According to Steven D. Anderson, Product Marketing Manager at Innoveda, "Availability of this support package will position Innoveda as the first company to offer a solution for IBM 440 co-verification. IBM customers developing embedded SoCs using the IBM PowerPC 440 core will be able get a head start on HW/SW design and integration using the V-CPU tool, and deliver their end-products faster."
Innoveda's V-CPU is a high-performance tool that offers a complete environment for co-verification of hardware and software, and can be configured for most standard or custom processors or buses. It includes a software execution environment that runs embedded system software as if it were running on the target CPU. A logic simulation environment runs the representation of the embedded system hardware, responding to bus cycles initiated by the software.
