As an integral part of its VariCore strategy, Actel has unveiled its VariCore Design Alliance program. This will train, certify and support independent, worldwide ASIC Design Services companies in the proficient use of Actel's VariCore embedded programmable gate array (EPGA) intellectual property (IP) cores. Tality, a large independent system-on-a-chip (SoC) design services and IP provider, has signed on as the program's anchor member. As a member, Tality will enable its customers who are exploring reconfigurable logic solutions for system-level applications to smoothly deploy into their SoC designs Actel's VariCore EPGAs, which are complete SRAM-based embedded 'soft hardware' reprogrammable cores.
The program's goal is to provide SoC designers with the background and expertise necessary to integrate embedded FPGAs into complex system-level designs. As part of the VariCore Design Alliance program, Actel provides member companies with comprehensive training in the use of its VariCore IP solutions, including EPGA core design and VariCore's integrated ASIC flow and methodology. Course testing and program certification will also be offered. Certified partner companies will gain access to VariCore design and emulation tools, documentation and EPGA design technical and marketing support.
