NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
- Toshiba is using Wind River Simics to
develop application software for advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS) on image recognition SoCs.
- The addition of Simics technology
provides Toshiba and its customers with the power of an accelerated
software development platform.
- Simics demonstrated more than double
the performance over Toshiba’s previous simulation solution.
Wind River®, a world leader in delivering software for
intelligent connected systems, announced that Toshiba is using Wind
River Simics® to develop automotive application software on image
recognition system-on-chip (SoC) platforms. Providing full system
simulation and breakthrough development techniques, the added
Simics capabilities can help Toshiba’s automotive customers
increase their productivity by transforming their software
development processes to be faster and more efficient.
The Toshiba image recognition SoCs, the TMPV75 Series, are
applicable to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) with
automotive video cameras. These SoCs can process image data
captured from multiple cameras to detect and recognize objects and
their motions in order to assist or alert drivers.
As the automobile becomes more sophisticated and connected, the
requirements of automotive devices become increasingly complex as
well. As a result, software development for automotive devices is
at greater risk for delays. The ability to realize savings during
development and testing cycles is a significant advantage. As a
full system simulator, Simics provides the power to simulate any
type of system and anticipate roadblocks sooner than ever, or
easily test and solve difficult debugging challenges. By using
Simics, customers can speed their simulations and gain new
flexibilities to minimize risk and potential rises in cost during
the development process.
“Given the complicated nature of advanced automotive
applications, there are many risks that could slow the development
process. Additionally, the role of software is increasing in the
automotive environment, which adds to this complexity,” said
Kazuteru Saginao, assistant to general manager, technical marketing
division, Electronic Devices & Storage Sales Center at Toshiba
Corporation Semiconductor & Storage Products Company. “Wind
River Simics provides the power to get ahead of development
challenges. Also, Wind River’s long history and expertise in the
automotive market provided us with an additional layer of
confidence.”
“As automotive capabilities become richer, the importance of
software will continue to grow. Software has become a key element
in nearly every embedded system. When serving the complex
automotive market, the ability to gain new efficiencies and speed
is a competitive advantage. Wind River Simics can provide customers
like Toshiba with powerful capabilities to transform and accelerate
their development,” said Michel Genard, vice president and general
manager of Simics at Wind River. “And by using Simics to develop,
test, and overcome problems much sooner in the development cycle,
Toshiba’s customers also can get to market faster, create higher
quality code, and stay in control of costs.”
Simics can help teams change their approach to development,
pinpoint and address problems faster, and deliver a high-quality
product to market more quickly. With Simics, testing and debugging
can take place much earlier and become more efficient due to unique
techniques such as fault injection, inspection of any element
within the system, and precise and repeatable reverse execution.
Simics also improves efficiency and collaboration across hardware,
software, and QA teams regardless of their location by providing
shared access to a full system simulation, snapshot functionality,
and greater visibility, helping all teammates stay on the same
page.
