Fast prototype bring-up and congruency with Palladium Z1
Enterprise Emulation Platform enable early software
development
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence
Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Amlogic
has adopted the new Cadence® Protium™ S1 FPGA-Based
Prototyping Platform to deliver multimedia system-on-chip (SoC)
designs to market faster. Using the Protium S1 platform, Amlogic
accelerated its hardware/software (HW/SW) integration process,
resulting in a time savings of two months compared to its previous
traditional HW/SW integration method. For more information on the
new Protium S1 FPGA-Based Prototyping Platform, visit

Amlogic, an early participant in the Protium S1 platform beta
program, found that the platform's unique implementation and
accelerated time to prototype capabilities enabled its engineering
team to begin software development on its SoC designs earlier than
before. The platform also allowed designers to boot Linux and
Android faster and run AnTuTu benchmark scoring in a single
day.
"The Protium S1 platform enabled us to successfully run multiple
instances of the design in parallel so that we could be much more
productive," said Jerry Cao,
software engineering director at Amlogic. "In addition, the
platform shares a common compile flow with the Cadence
Palladium® Z1 Enterprise Emulation Platform, which
allows us to re-use our existing Cadence verification environment
and achieve functional congruency between the two platforms."
The Protium S1 FPGA-Based Prototyping Platform is a
next-generation platform that enables early software development,
reducing design bring-up time by an average of 80 percent versus
traditional FPGA prototyping approaches. The Protium S1
platform further extends the innovation within the Cadence
Verification Suite and supports the company's System Design
Enablement strategy, which enables system and semiconductor
companies to create complete, differentiated end products more
efficiently.
